Indeed it might! I have the Pi mounted to the front panel via my button PCB: the button PCB mounts to the chassis front panel, and the Pi mounts behind this PCB via the GPIO pins, hat-style. I currently use nylon stand-offs/spacers, but I'm thinking I might swap to brass to provide some degree of thermal conductivity. The front panel will be 10mm aluminium, so if I can get at least some of the heat into that it should dissipate quite nicely. It would be nice to have some sort of direct thermal connection between the CPU and the chassis - I might just use a strip of aluminium, say 3mm thick, formed into a dog-leg shape and a bit of thermal paste to hold it in place. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ chill's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10839 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=110690 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
