BeagleBone Black - WAS: Time for Pi

[Mauro Souza]

On DX.com I bought a heat sink for RasPi (not shipped yet) for $2.10 (
http://dx.com/p/207119). It's copper based, has a sticker under it, so it
will be glued to the chip.
I think you would be able to use it on BBB. I will buy a couple more to
stick to my old BeagleBone too... For now I have two aluminium heat sinks
over the Pi (cpu and chipset), not glued, just over it, and it falls off
every time someone knocks over it (pretty rarely, though).
