@hybotics woah, thanks!
Though, this heat sink or a case which has an inbuilt heat sink (like FLIRC)? Which would be better?
Also, mine is the oldest Model B. Dunno if all the parts sit the same.

It's 2017 and Outlook 2016's View Mailbox Size shows me all information in KB and doesn't let me sort the list by size. We live in a tyranny.
@streakmachine throw a few at us! I'd love to know how to say 'screw you' in Finnish! :D
@c Good question! I don't want to risk it on a software update that I didn't do, or a code change they didn't push out.
@matigo marketing terms will keep getting thrown around. No way to avoid that. Though RPR seems like a nice term.

@c my main concern is fire hazard. I don't want it to spark and burn down the house, specially since its sitting under my TV, XBox etc. Any good suggestions as to how I can put my mind at ease? I've thought of putting it in some kind of a fireproof box.
@c hmmm. I have an original Pi B sitting in my (rather warm) living room. I guess a heat sink is in need.
I've got homebridgy running on it as well as some silly scripts and last night I installed Pi Hole! :)
Pi Hole works wonders! After installation hiccups, it started working and immediately blocked about 10% of the queries going out! That was awesome!
@c there's a command -
/opt/vc/bin/vcgencmd measure_temp
That tells me the temp in Celsius. I put it into a python script that's lights up a traffic light thingy via the GPIO pins, and shuts down the Pi if the temp goes above 50 degrees. But I don't want it to come to that.
What's the usual temp your RasPi runs at? Mine runs at about 40 degC. Is that fine or do I need a heat sink?
@matigo what would be a more precise term for it?
History is strewn with misnomers. It's fine.
