## Description

A compact aluminium heatsink with pre-applied thermal adhesive for easy installation on the Raspberry Pi 3 and other single board computers. Simply peel off the protective film and press firmly onto the processor — no additional thermal paste or clips required. In testing, a Raspberry Pi 3 without a heatsink throttled to 0.96 GHz under full CPU load, while the same Pi with this heatsink maintained 1.1 GHz — approximately 14% higher sustained performance. Key Features Pre-Applied Thermal Adhesive – Peel-and-stick installation, no tools needed Aluminium Construction – Lightweight with excellent thermal conductivity Universal Fit – Works with any processor or chip that fits the 14×14mm footprint Specifications Dimensions – 14 × 14 × 8mm Material – Aluminium Attachment – Pre-applied thermal adhesive Ideal For Raspberry Pi 3 (and other Raspberry Pi models) Small processor and IC cooling Any chip requiring passive heat dissipation Note: The Raspberry Pi 3 does not strictly require a heatsink — it automatically adjusts clock speed to avoid overheating. This heatsink allows it to maintain higher sustained performance. Most HATs will not fit on top with the heatsink installed.
