Re: RPI3, heatsinks, throttling
I wonder if the OS does any throttling on the RPI or if it's perhaps
handled by the Broadcom hypervisor.
I have never put heatsinks on my RPIs but I also didn't use them as build
server or something very CPU intensive.
Still, I don't expect to be able to fry them -- they should at least
auto-shutdown, no?
