The issue with heat is more serious on the Raspberry Pi 3 than it was on the previous second generation, the Pi 3 can get up to about 40-50 degrees during normal operation and can heat even more under constant maximum load (see the thermal image of a Pi 3 board above). This means that you need to add passive cooling solution in order to keep your RPi cooler when it is under load, especially if you keep it under load for longer periods of time. The Raspberry Pi boards are getting more powerful with each next generation and while that means more processing power available for your computing needs it also means more power used and more heat generated. Let me tell you why I simply love the Flirc case and why you should probably get one for RPi 2/3 as well. Last year I have discovered the Flirc Raspberry Pi Case and ever since I have been using one for my Raspberry Pi 2 and when this year the RPi 3 came out I got another case for it as well. I have used various cases over the years - official ones, unofficial ones made from different materials and have even 3D printed some cases myself. The Raspberry is just a bare small computer board and it really needs a good case to help it look better and function problem free. The RPi is really great and I have been using it since the first generation came out a couple of years ago. It is a compact, low power and very affordable solution for tasks that do not require too much computing power. The Raspberry Pi is a great little gadget to have handy and use for various things.
