Does just what it says on the tin. The CPU runs a LOT cooler (but, of course, the case runs a lot warmer). It was difficult to remove the plastic covers from the small blue piece of thermal contact paste for the CPU. Using a thin blade (e.g. a razorblade) to get them off worked just fine.

Great fanless cooling for the Pi 4. This is going to be my case of choice for the Pi 4. Using it for a server running 24/7 and temperature does not even hit 60°C. Build quality is top-notch to boot. Highly recommended.

The only problem i have with it. Is that you need a header booster!!! Why could it not be design so it could take other 40pin ribbon connectors. It is nice.

Love the colour. Nice solid case seams to provide a good bit of cooling. Can get a bit warm to the touch when pushing the Pi.

Frustratingly poor quality thermal pads (as many other people have mentioned) and instructions.

Great case/heatsink combo. Came with a hex key for assembly. The thermal pads that came with it were very fragile. When removing the paper and plastic on each side, take extreme caution not to tear them. If you plan on using a hat, maybe get some extensions for the pins. Also probably not the best case if you care about wireless connectivity.
