Agreed on both counts. A heatsink only helps if the chip the sink is on is much hotter than the air around it, and 130F isn't much at all. I wouldn't become even slightly worried about any electronics until they pass 80C (~175F) or more.

A heat sink won't buy you much because the memory is stacked on top of the processor. Further more 130F is fine.

Hey There

If anyone has any in the area, I was wondering if anyone is willing to give me or sell me (for when I get Money again on Jun. 1st) some Heatsinks for a Raspberry Pi 3. I'm a little cautious for RetroPie since it's showing at 130º F or more while running RetroPie
