-Usually, the Raspberry Pi 3B+ heats up to 60 degrees Celsius under 0% stress of the CPU
-To operate the Rpi 3B+ at maximum power for extended periods of time, a small heat sink or fan implementation is required (goal of this task)
-Flirc Case? Possible suggestion from Raspberry Pi Forums, acts like a giant heat sink, $15.95 from Amazon
