I put heatsinks on my Pi v1 Model B, because why not? Sure, it only burns a couple W at full tilt, but the aluminum heatsinks were only a couple bucks and I had plenty of Artic Silver 5 left over, that I was no longer using in my PCs.

I got max of a couple years' uptime on it, before I eventually took it offline. The only reason I didn't get more was that we had a spate of power outages that were too long for my UPS battery (it was plugged into the same UPS as my main computing rig). I was using it as a small audio/video media server for the devices on my LAN.

I think I have a long resting RPi1 in a box somewhere in the country.
