Overheating Raspberry Pi 3: Does the Raspberry Pi 3 need a Heat Sink?
Hey Guys,
If you follow the news you would have probably seen a few posts on how hot the new Raspberry Pi 3 runs at. I am going to have a look at my unit, run a stress test (in the form of Quake 3 Arena) and see how hot my unit gets, and how much I can reduce that temperature with the use of a heat sink.

Raspberry Pi 3 Overclock Settings:
Manually edit the /boot/config.txt file and edit the following line:
arm_freq=1350
Also add these two:
over_voltage=6
sdram_freq=500
Careful though as the Pi3 gets hot!
