Re: What do I need to go with a Pi 4

I'm currently running a Pi2, which has a BME280 (via a hat) and a SSD attached to it.  The Pi is now starting to struggle to generate graphs for my home website, so I'm thinking of swapping it for a Pi4.  A rummage online doesn't seem to fully answer my questions.
 Apart from the Pi4, to upgrade, I know that I will need a bigger power supply and a HDMI adapter lead, but after, things are a bit vague.  Can I get away with the Pi4 without any additional cooling, or do I need a heat sink or fan, and if so, how do they get on with the hat ?  The space it is in has had a temperature range of -1 to 40 degrees C, the mean across that time is about 15.5C.
 

I am running a Pi4, two SSDS and a TV hat with no cooling. So far its OK. One of the SSDS gets a bit warm.
The pi itself comes out well below 'temperatures of concern'
