Raspberry Pi Zero Heatsink

If your Pi 3 / Pi Zero / Yukon project is particularly resource-hungry then it may run a little hot. Cool it down with this nifty little heatsink!

Simply remove the backing from the pre-applied thermal tape and stick it on top of the main processor chip on your Raspberry Pi. We've even left a window in our Pibow 3 Coupé case lid to accommodate it!

You can also use these heatsinks with Pimoroni Yukon to cool modules that are drawing lots of power. We'd suggest using the extra tall 14mm version for this, for maximum cooling. 🍦

If you want to use HAT boards (or other GPIO addons) with your Raspberry Pi then make sure you pick the 6mm option as this will not clash!

  • 14.5mm x 14.5mm (in 6mm, 7.5mm and 14mm heights)
  • Ideal for use with Raspberry Pi 3 / Zero / Zero W / Zero 2 W / Yukon
  • Matte black finish
  • Made from anodised aluminium
  • Comes with pre-applied thermal tape for easy installation
  • Anodised non-conductive coating

The small size does make it somewhat tricky to install without it ending up crooked, but it seems to be doing it's job really well regardless!

Brilliant for use with a pi1541 and epyx fast load cart for a c64, as the pi zero needs overclocking in order to work. This keeps temps down and is rock solid stable. Brilliant!

Great at cooling down my RPi 4B and haven’t had any problems - strong adhesive sticker so cpu all ok. Bought 2 for my 3A+ too

Fits perfectly flush in the coupe case and gives plenty of clearance for the hat on top. Shaves off a little bit of heat overhead for long running applications.

Simple enough to fit. All rather subjective but the pi3 case (running Flightaware 24/7) does 'feel' a little cooler.

Works as intended, when used on a Pi Zero 2 W with Display Mini Hat, I used extended headers on the Pi and then added the Display, keeping the heatsink clear of the Display above.

Perfect fit, looks smart. Can't attest to it's thermal performance (forgot to check) but it's better than nowt!

It works really well. We have had a heatwave in Malta and my Pi is in the hottest room in the house and worked perfectly keeping well below the temperature

Simple but easy to fix and does a good job of dissipating some of the Pi 4B's heat output from the secondary on-board chips [tested on Pi 4B].
