On the two Pi's I've got heat sinks (a Pi3 in a large ventilated case
and a Pi1 in an small enclosed case) you only see a 5C reduction at
idle, but the hotter the chip gets the more effective they are. The peak
temperature of my Pi3 used to get up to 80C now doesn't go above 70C.
The Pi1 doesn't show as much benefit as there is very little airflow.
