According to the article above, you can fit a FLAT ceramic 25x25 heatsink to the pi, and a fan isn't even needed (pi3) this would be awesome because
1. Ceramic I think would be superior to copper and way superior to aluminium. Most of my cooking utensils are ceramic and I find the heat spreads put more evenly than other. For example.
2. The fact the heatsink is flat, allows for greater versatility with fans and other attachments.
I have tried several cases, as I have owned or assembled pi1, 2 and 3's, so I know from experience that there are a lot of cheap tacky cases.
My most recent one (with a fan) requires some actual filing to make the HAT fit.
I want either a flat ceramic heatsink (which I can't find one like in the article)
Or another superior case, with or without a fan, doesn't matter, providing heat dissipation is backed up by tests.
When ambient temperature is high, I have Definitley seen some border line critical temperatures without a heatsink or fan, so using as is, is Definitley not good enough.
Thoughts ? Suggestions?
