  • @RagingToad The microsd that killed one of my Pi (a Pi3) didn’t overheat, it just literally exploded, one face of the plastic case was split in two. My conclusion is that i was creating a short circuit, and damaged the Pi board.

    Before I got cooling right, two Pi were really overheating, one died (actually it boots, but freeze). Then I started using radiators or metal cases using the whole case as a dissipator. And a slow fan on top of that for Pi4 and Pi5.

    I would totally look at a NUC by Intel, I’m not restricted to Chinese mini pc at all. Actually I’m looking at Intel NUC but they are like twice the price of other mini pc… so I’m still investigating.
