    Product Description

    An exclusive Starter Kit from CanaKit that includes the Raspberry Pi 3 Model B and everything you need to get up and running within minutes in the exciting world of Raspberry Pi!

    The Raspberry Pi 3 Model B is the third generation Raspberry Pi and 10x faster than the first generation Raspberry Pi. Additionally, it incorporates built-in WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity.

    To take full advantage of the improved power management on the Raspberry Pi 3 and provide even support for even more powerful devices on the USB ports, a 2.5A adapter is recommended. The included power supply in this kit incorporates a noise filter to provide the highest stability and comes with a 5-foot cable. This power supply can power the Raspberry Pi 3 and other USB accessories (such as most portable hard drives) without requiring an external powered USB hub.


    Kit Includes:

    - Raspberry Pi 3 (RPi3) Model B Quad-Core 1.2 GHz 1 GB RAM
    - CanaKit 2.5A Micro USB Power Supply with Noise Filter (UL Listed) specially designed for the Raspberry Pi 3 (5-foot cable)
    - Set of 2 Heat Sinks
    - CanaKit Quick-Start Guide

    Nifty little board for testing and learning! :D

    Nifty little board for testing and learning! :D
    Notice: This is a review of my own making, I did NOT receive any compensation or product voucher or free item. I purchased this for my own independent usage and research.Summary:Nifty little board that can do quite a bit with just a little effort. I was interested in acquiring a Raspberry Pi 3 for use as a "dedicated server" for an application I was developing. I wanted to see how lightweight I could get my application, and if it could be sustainable on a small form factor, low power device. I've got a long way to go to get my application ready for prime time, but this should enable me to more rapidly test and optimize against a target set of hardware.Pros:*Compatible with all of the hardware I've thrown at it so far. (Details below)*Provided directions were nice to have to point me in the right direction (if I hadn't known where to go prior to purchase).*Included power supply provides ample power, and I've had no issues with it so far.*Markup from third-party retailer is reasonable, considering shipment from Element14 costs more than the markup and this item ships with free prime shipping (At the time of writing).Cons:*Although the Pi was in an anti-static bag within the box, the bag itself was not sealed in any way... I'm unsure if this will have any large impact on the efficacy of the anti-static bag.*CanaKit (through their own research) determined that users did not understand that the board may not ship with an SD card, or an OS, in some cases. As such, they place a very large sticker over the front of the box, defacing much of the front of the box. Personal preference, I didn't like the sticker defacing the box.*Heat Sinks provided are largely ineffectual depending on your use-case. (See testing/info below)Untested/no comment:*I did not make use of the ribbon-display port, camera port, or GPIO pins. I have no comment on their functionality at this time.Installation:*Installed NOOBs onto MicroSD card using the adapter below, then installed Raspbian and OSMC to test each, then decided to fully allocate the MicroSD card to Raspbian.Hardware:Pi + Power: CanaKit Raspberry Pi 3 with 2.5A Micro USB Power Supply (UL Listed)Keyboard: AmazonBasics Wired KeyboardMouse: AmazonBasics 3-Button USB Wired Mouse (Black)MicroSD Card: SanDisk Ultra 32GB microSDHC UHS-I Card with Adapter, Grey/Red, Standard Packaging (SDSQUNC-032G-GN6MA)MicroSD Adapter: Sabrent SuperSpeed 2-Slot USB 3.0 Flash Memory Card Reader for Windows, Mac, Linux, and Certain Android Systems - Supports SD , SDHC , SDXC , MMC / MicroSD , T-Flash [Black] (CR-UMSS)Case: SB Components Clear Case for Raspberry Pi 3 Model B Quad Core/Pi 2 Model B/Pi Model B+ CasesThermal Testing:To test the thermal performance with/without the heat sinks, I printed the initial temperature reading, then used sysbench running on all four cores for four sets of two minutes, printing the temperature readings following each run of sysbench.These tests were conducted using the latest version of Rasbian (Jessie) and sysbench, as of 6/11/2016.Without the heat sink, from idle of 55c (+/- 5c) the device achieved 82.7c within 4 minutes, and in excess of 83c by the end of the test. Raspbian (Jessie) attempts to throttle/warn of performance issues if the temperature exceeds 82c (orange icon in the upper right).With the heat sink, from idle of 50c (+/- 5c) the device achieved 81.7c within 6 minutes, and just over 82c during the last two minutes.With the heat sink, it took longer to reach 82c (Raspbian's threshold/comfort zone), and cooled down faster when the device was no longer under full load. However, any situation you experience full load over 7 minutes long and the device will be beyond its ideal operating threshold.Script:clearecho CPU Stresstestecho sysbench running on 4 cores, for 2 minutes,echo then printing temperature readings, 4 times.echo Initial Temperaturevcgencmd measure_tempecho Phase 1, 2 minutes of sysbench running on 4 cores.sysbench --test=cpu --cpu-max-prime=20000 --num-threads=4 run >/dev/null 2>&1vcgencmd measure_tempecho Phase 2, 2 minutes of sysbench running on 4 cores.sysbench --test=cpu --cpu-max-prime=20000 --num-threads=4 run >/dev/null 2>&1vcgencmd measure_tempecho Phase 3, 2 minutes of sysbench running on 4 cores.sysbench --test=cpu --cpu-max-prime=20000 --num-threads=4 run >/dev/null 2>&1vcgencmd measure_tempecho Phase 4, 2 minutes of sysbench running on 4 cores.sysbench --test=cpu --cpu-max-prime=20000 --num-threads=4 run >/dev/null 2>&1vcgencmd measure_tempCanaKit Customer Service/Support:Prior to reviewing the item, I contacted CanaKit for their thoughts and information on the sticker defacing the box, and the use-case for the heat sinks. Below are their replies:Question 1: The 'brand/notice' stickers Canakit places on the Raspberry Pi box itself defaced the Raspberry Pi branding/Box/Information, and seemed incredibly unnecessary. I was hoping to take a photo for review/publishing purposes... and the box is a little unsightly as a result.CanaKit Reply: The label is prominently placed on the Raspberry Pi box of this bundle for two reasons below: - The Raspberry Pi does not boot due to use of older software being used (ie. a memory card from the users Pi 2) - Customer is used to older Pi boards which have a spring loaded MicroSD mechanism and believes the new Pi 3 board (which includes a friction-fit design) is defective.Question 2: The heatsinks... Under full load, for approximately 10 minutes, the heatsink makes at most 1c degree of difference (between not having a heatsink and having one). It did take 30-90 seconds longer to reach peek temperature during benchmarking while using the heatsink. However, it did not prevent the system from ultimately hitting 82c and throttling performance under Rasbian (Jessie).CanaKit Reply: Thank you for the test and for your feedback on this. We have used larger sized heat sinks in the past but it caused other problems at the time (ie. customer incorrect installation resulting in the heatsink touching adjacent components resulting in a circuit short for example). The current set of heat sinks include official 3M thermal adhesive to transfer as much heat as possible but we understand there may be better alternatives in the market and are actively testing alternatives. Note that, for your reference, the Raspberry Pi Foundation still suggests the heat sinks are optional and not required for operation unless the board is being overclockedThey should help reduce the heat, but I'm not sure if it would eliminate reaching critical temperatures depending on the tasks being performed.
