raspberry pi 4 cooling

ZestycloseReception8@sopuli.xyz to Selfhosted@lemmy.world – 16 points –

I'm making a homeassistant sever with my raspberry pi and and i'm wondering since it's going to be on 24/7 that the fans going to wear out much faster than intended. I can't imagine that I would need a fan ontop of a heat sink and thermal paste it can't get that hot? I should also note that i'm using an Argon V2 it's one of those heat sink cases that are made for raspberry pis

probably gonna have it on a shelf next to my desk I also have a small bit strong small vornado fan I use to keep me cool. that hits my desk too

should be fine, if you don't like how warm it gets a set of small heatsinks for amplifiers will run you a few bucks and takes all of 10 seconds to install.
