“Sometimes simplicity is the answer. The RPi 4 Fan Shim was not compatible with the project I was building so ordered this heatsink case. Easy to assemble and really working well for me. Ideal if you have any slight amount of ventilation and any sort of reasonable ambient temperature.”
“Super sleek! It covers the Pi very nicely, and since it's all aluminum, it's a great sink too! I think I'm happy that I got this instead of a real case.”
“Bought this about a week ago for my Raspberry Pi 4. I wanted to have some sort of cooling on it and a case but didn’t want a fan that could be noisy. This is perfect for my needs. It is very sturdy, zero noise (obviously) and easy to assemble. My Raspberry Pi runs at around 38 degree Celsius idle and around 44 degree Celsius on full load. It has a space to expose the pins but I don’t use any of the pins. So, I can’t comment on how well it works with the pins.
Only issue, if I really have to mention one, would be that the thermal pad ripped when I was peeling off the protective paper (I was being careful). But this might have just been a one off issue with mine. I just put it together. So, it’s not much of an issue at all.”
“Brilliant engineering - aesthetically pleasing. I am building a Kubernetes cluster so bought 5 of these heatsink cases in different colours. Every colour looks great!”
“The aluminum heatsink quality is perfect, however the heatsink pads supplied don't seperate from the protective film easily. Smallest pad broke up and was totally unusable, medium one broke but was still able to be used.”
