Cheap cooling solution

Post by rambler »

It's summer here in Australia and my fit-PC3 hit 67 degrees the other day so today I whipped up this simple solution using an old CPU cooler I had lying around:

The fan is actually 12V but runs fine and silently when powered by 5V from a USB port. It's just sitting on top of the fit-PC3 and dropped the temperature by around 10 degrees so it's quite effective:
