Get a Pi4 and just use it as a server, keep the Pi3/Allo Boss as a player only. The Pi4/in the Flirc case has no problems with heat whatsoever, (although I don't have a very large library). https://thepihut.com/collections/raspberry-pi-cases/products/flirc-raspberry-pi-4-case Picture below shows temperature graph for my Pi4/Flirc case, room temp is 24°C. BTW, Michael probably won't see your edits. 28906 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ |Filename: flirctemp.jpg | |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=28906| +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ *Server - LMS 7.9.2 *Pi4B 4GB/Flirc case/pCP 6.0.0-b7 18K library, playlists & LMS cache on SSD (ntfs) *Study -* Pi3B+/pCP 5.0.0/pi screen/HiFiBerry DAC+/jivelite, *Lounge* - Pi2/pCP 5.0.0 > HiFiBerry DIGI+ > AudioEngine DAC1 > AVI DM5 *Dining Room* - Squeezebox Boom *Garage* - Pi3B/Pi screen/HiFiBerry DAC+/pCP 5.0.0 > Edifier R980T *Spares* - 2xTouch, 1xSB3, 1xRadio, 6xRPi ------------------------------------------------------------------------ kidstypike's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10436 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=111430
