A bit expensive for what it is
Poor quality, poor adhesive, poor finish, but... it does the job.
Could be offered at a lower price.

The order is as advertised.
I noticed a difference of 4°C between use without and with heatsink.
As a general rule, I am not a great friend of passive cooling, favouring silence at the cost of efficiency... Very little for me.
However, I didn't have the pleasure of acquiring an active cooling system for the Raspberry Pi, so I had to make do with these little radiators.
The self-adhesive concept makes the installation very simple, but like two other consumers, I did not find where to place the third heatsink.
I'm copying and pasting the comment that applies to me:
Nothing to say except that it should be supplied with the starter kit.
It's true that you don't need big fingers to install them, but the operation is still easy.
I only installed two of them because I don't know where the third heatsink goes.

Very small kit, but the rasberry is just as small ;-). Easy to assemble. I didn't understand where the 3rd radiator goes. I'm not sure where the third radiator goes, it's probably spare. In short, a kit that does its job, but is the price justified? 2 stars less for the price.
the passive coolers do their job.
This accessory should be included in the Raspberry pi3 starter kit.
PS:200 characters mini for a 8 euros thing you'll have to adapt that I think.it's long 200 characters mdr :)
It's perfect, I have a raspberry pi 3 and I've seen that it heats up well and that some raspberry pi 3's are limited to half the power of the proscessor when it reaches 60°C and with this kit you can hardly reach 60°C, you have to want it to reach this temperature.
small in size but big in efficiency these 3 small radiators (only 2 can be mounted on the pi3) are the cooling kit to have if you demand a little too much effort from the little machine. a must combined with a fan in case of overclocking
Works very well for my Raspeberry which runs H24 but a bit expensive, a star for that!
les +
-good cooling
-more security

-a bit expensive for 3 pieces of metal but good
-impossible to remove them afterwards
I didn't really compare the before and after, I know that at the bottom of the raspberry, the heat was quite strong.
Since installing the heat sinks, it seems to me that the heat is radiating into the case so the dissipation is working.
Despite the expensive price, I am not disappointed with the usefulness of my purchase.
The kit works well, but for the Raspberry Pi 3 model I can't see where to put the 3rd cooler.
I've taken this kit to give a little power effect to the Raspberry and then who knows maybe I'll overclock it.
Very easy to set up and low cost passive cooling of the raspberry, a must.
note: 3 coolers are provided, for the raspberry 3 model B, only 2 are needed :)
There are 2 heat sinks which correspond to the size of the 2 main chips. The third one I put on a component next to the power supply.
A bit expensive but it does its job, which is to passively cool the components.
