Keeping Robo-Tank Cool
#3
Still working on it, making some revisions now, not sure how low it will go. Heat sink would be nice but problem is there's no space between Pi and board, to get more space a taller 40 pin header is needed and I haven't seen anything like that, they're all a standard size. You can get one to stack which would double the spacing but it's more connections that can corrode. Those headers are the weakest point over time. If I could find a header a few mm taller a heat sink would fit. Before I go down that path I'm going to see how low I can bring it with just the fan, I think if the air get to where it needs to go it should drop more. That header is what's blocking the air from getting under the Pi to the chips.
