i like both the argon and the simple heatsink setups, either work great. i did end up adding an additional heatsink to the argon, the flat case does not provide great heat exchange in an enclosed space.
you can do passive cooling as well, just all depends on how hot the location gets.
probably gonna have it on a shelf next to my desk I also have a small bit strong small vornado fan I use to keep me cool. that hits my desk too
should be fine, if you don't like how warm it gets a set of small heatsinks for amplifiers will run you a few bucks and takes all of 10 seconds to install.
ok thanks
I have had some pretty obnoxious recurring reboots on my Pi4 when I don't add a heat sink and fan.
I used to run a Raspberry Pi 4 in the same case for months at a time and didn't have issues. I'd say you are fine
