In this post, we show an easy script to view the current temperature of the CPU in Raspberry PI. The Raspberry PI doesn’t have a CPU fan or cooler by default, and the normal working temperature is 49 to 51 degrees. I put the Raspberry PI in a plastic case and put it under the sofa as a file sharing server for home use. To prolong the life of Raspberry PI, we certainly need to cool the temperature.
There are some copper square bits that can be attached to CPU/GPU on board but they haven’t arrived yet. I decided to try the USB external fan for laptop. The USB fan was supposed to be put under laptop and it is powered by USB. I doubt any obvious good it might have because on modern laptops, almost every mainboards have powerful fans/coolers. Plus, the laptop cases are pretty sealed/closed so the external fans won’t have much effect to cool the internal temperature.
However, as the following picture shows, I put the tiny Raspberry PI on the USB cooler, and power it up. It is quiet, little power consumption, and works quite well, I can feel breezy.
Using the BASH script, it shows the temperature has dropped down 10 degrees in just less than 10 minutes.
pi@raspberrypi:~$ ./temp CPU Temperature: 40 C = 104F
Simple and effective, because the case of Raspberry PI is not fully sealed as it is on laptop. The USB fan cools the area around the Raspberry PI quite well and thus keeps the temperature under control.
