Hi, The heatsink that comes with the digi+ bundle is unexpectedly large.  I have built a similar pi box about 4 years ago and there were 3 heatsinks.

Since there are no instructions on installing this monster it should be intuitive.  Sorry, but not to me.

I received an email with a guide on installing heat sink but it is not related to the heat sink at all.

All of the online videos I have found have multiple heat sinks, which is what I recall installing on my previous unit.

Can I get a pointer on how to properly install this sink on this board?

Thanks,

  Thanks.  I suspected that was it.  It is a very tight fit, and I was concerned of clearance with the pins.  Placement is critical.

  I was glad to see this, since I had also been unsure about the best orientation for the heat sink. Without this picture I would have installed it rotated 90 degrees. It's a tight fit between the pin connectors, but it fits!
