General discussion • Re: Using a Pi 4B without a fan

The Pi 4 doesn’t throttle clocks until 80C, which wasn’t reached during testing.
I observed no reductions in the 1.5 GHz clock speed. There’s also the `vcgencmd get_throttled` command.

My Pi4 ran at 2.2GHz without throttling using passive cooling like this:

This cooler/case is cheap and very effective. I used liquid metal TIM instead of the thermal pads.
It is better than stick-on heat sinks, even larger ones like this:

I see its available for the Pi5 now ...

By the way, I use this stress test:
