I suspect you're right - there'll be more of that type of solution in no time. I think I'll work on making space for such a solution. I'm sure those fans are quiet, but it would be nice to keep it passive, given that it's an amplifier. I suspect that just making a bit of space to breathe will be enough in my situation, and if not then a bigger heatsink or a thermal connection to my enclosure will be plenty. Here's a quick mock-up: [image: http://www.cjh.me.uk/MyPhotobucket/cache/DIYHifi/RPi%20Board/Long%20brass%20stand-offs_640.jpg] [image: http://www.cjh.me.uk/MyPhotobucket/cache/DIYHifi/RPi%20Board/Long%20brass%20stand-offs%202_640.jpg] The sharp-eyed among you will spot that that's not a 4B - that's because I haven't yet drilled out the mounting holes to 3mm in my spare 'BNIB' 1GB 4B. And the ribbon connectors aren't clamped down (no point wasting them), but as a proof of concept it'll do. Unfortunately, when there's a ribbon connector on the pins there isn't room for stand-offs on the two adjacent mounting holes, but the two on the opposite edge of the board seem to be rigid enough. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 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
