Yeah, thermal insulation behaves in much the same way as electrical insulation. If you put a conductor in series with a resistor, the conductor doesn't conduct all that well.
- TylerE 7y agoSeems like the winning solution would be to do as Apple does and make the case the heatsink. Aluminum is a pretty good thermal conductor, and at the very least it'd get you lots of surface area.
- thaumasiotes 7y agoWouldn't that make it hard to touch?
- amiga-workbench 7y agoIt wouldn't be too bad, the heat would be spread out and the surface would be at a much lower temperature than whats actually measured on die.
- iamnotacrook 7y agoSo don't touch it then?
- medmunds 7y agoLike this one? https://smile.amazon.com/Vilros-Raspberry-Model-Aluminum-Cooling/dp/B07MH39YNM/ https://smile.amazon.com/Vilros-Raspberry-Model-Aluminum-Coo... (I'm just running Hassio, so can't really speak to its thermal effectiveness myself. But it's got enough weight to keep cables from pulling it off my shelf.)
