when you use a Raspberry Pi but you're also a gamer

@noiob I love that it looks so massive but its still actuallu pretty tiny and probably makes the worst noisr

@pup_hime it's also basically useless because you can easily prevent throttling with a smaller heatsing and a smaller fan

@noiob @pup_hime someone tested it and if you keep the fan turned off it's still juuust strong enough not to throttle

@MochiWaifu @pup_hime I mean it's a massive thermal mass for a CPU that tiny

@noiob @pup_hime here's the video i saw: youtube.com/watch?v=RyUXC3886I

a small heatsink and fan actually works, but a small one without a fan (like on my pi3) isn't enough anymore apparently ;w;

@MochiWaifu @pup_hime I mean it's pretty hard to get this thing to actually go to 100% on all cores all of the time, so a passive cooler would still totally cut it in most cases

@noiob @pup_hime what about compiling things because i did that a couple of times on the 3 and regretted it considering the time it took
