   That's what I'm saying: it's 48°C when the fan is not running. Software   
   only allows to set a minimum temperature of 60°C before the fan starts   
   running, so I unchecked the setting and now the fan is turning all the   
   time. A fan with only 2 cables (red & black) should have been enough. I   
   don't know if there's a way to set that minimum temperature to 40°C...   
      
   But yes, it's not really necessary and  I shouldn't have bought it. But   
   it was fun setting it up. I use RPi4 for Pi-Hole and PiVPN. I've played   
   a little with RetroPie, so maybe I'll give that another go, because I   
   have two RPi4 now.   
      
   I used a Pimoroni Heatsink Case for the first one I bought:   
      
      
   Temperature is around 40°C.   
      
   The Unity V2 comes with a fan:   
      
      
   Temperature is between 30° and 35°C. (There's a real peak when I open   
   Fx.)
