General discussion • Re: Adding thermal tape to bottom of the Pi5 - is it safe?

What kind of thermal tape are you using? AFAIK the armour cases are supplied with silicone rubber thermal pads. If it one of those soft pads then it should be okay. I've found they leave greasy marks though.

If its a phase change thermal pad that hardens when cold then removing it may damage the Pi. There are tiny SMD components on the bottom which will be ripped off if you're not extremely careful.
I think they are the silicone pads. They're light blu-ish, easy to remove even after having placed them and soft. I looked at a similar product online on Amazon and I think it matches that. They're the ones that came with the cases.

I'm still not sure if it will even work, since I need to stack them to reach the underside.
