Hey guys, so I have had the Raspberry Pi 3 for a while for my DreamPi setup. I already installed the heat sinks on it but it seems that it gets quite hot after a while.
Does anybody else have this problem and should I be concerned about this issue?

U can actually by a case with a fan if you really wanted to. But its really not needed unless you keep your home temp hot

Re: Raspberry Pi 3 Heating Issues?
I've read that the heat sinks do little since usually the adhesive used acts as an insulator (depends on where you buy the heat sink really) and the surface area is too little to lower the temperature in the long run. Maybe consider buying a fan or turning off WiFi / down clocking the RPI.
