It comes with a fan and a few heat sinks, which the setup guide calls optional, but since the machine started getting hot and throttling while installing the OS (the cursor turning into a thermometer to warn me, very cute), I put in the fan, and that helped. I'll add the heat sinks later. Congratulations on your new PI4. I've been running PI's since the PI2. Just a few comments, based on my experience. The PI4 definitely needs heat sinks AND a fan. I prefer open on the side type cases. Allows for better cooling of the board. I have about 12 pi's running at present - each doing a particular application - mostly ham radio related. All are running headless - no monitor or keyboard. I either ssh or vnc into them. I'm very impressed with the latest Rasbian OS (which is Debian Buster). So much so, that I have installed the PC Desktop version on an older MacBook. For most people, the 2GB version of the PI4 is all that's required. I have deliberately tried loading a 4GB version - with three windows streaming videos and two windows doing compiles, it was only using a little less than 1 gb of memory. Smooth video and audio. Enjoy your new little computer. Bill Smithville, NJ |
