Raspberry Pi Thermal Video

Problemchild

My mate's Raspberry PI is somewhat faulty and crashes once it gets warm or the likes

so I decided to use my FLIR i7(new toy spoiler image)  to video it during booting XBMC,

then again playing some videos off the USB stick. note that during all of this the USB/NIC

chip actually is hotter than the CPU/GPU doing all the heavy lifting ...very odd!

    I seem to recall a batch had issue with this chip overheating ... it may be one of them.

    It was the rev 1 boards that mainly had the overheating problem. 

    This looks like a rev 2 board, with the mounting/alignment hole visible.

    Rev 2 fixed the 1V8 power problem that jamodio found, and I think it also

    uses more solder under the LAN chip for a better thermal connection.

    Yes they produce quite a bit of heat considering. However i'm not sure that even that is enough for up a mountain.

    Depending on the enclosure consider a few power resistors for heating and maybe some insulation and a fan for the summer.

    This is what the proper  security enclosures use.
