Great little fan, easy to install and use

Managed to squeeze this into a Retroflag NesPi 4 case, using some stand-offs above heatsinks. Works really well to keep it cool, only triggering at configured temperatures when required. There was a pin clash with the switching for the LED's on the fan shim, but given it's inside the case it didn't matter and I just ran the config script to leave the fan shim LED's off.

Very well made. It's fun to assemble and easy to install the software. It fits perfectly with the PiBow case too.

I coupled this with a heatsink (also needed a booster header for mounting the fan) and now my RPi 4 is chilling even under load. Great value for money and easy to install, including the software!

Worked well with minimal setup, hopefully I don't need anything bigger because with this tiny footprint it's great for my application.

Works as advertised and was extremely easy to install. Word of advice, be sure to copy every piece of code and to not skip any lines. I made the mistake of not copying over cd example and couldn’t get it to work until I did that with the rest of the code. I’ve had it up and running for the past couple weeks without issue and it’s doing a great job of keeping the RPi temp in check. It also looks great with the rainbow case they sell. Would absolutely buy again if it went down for any reason.

My first fanshim was damaged (fan it's always on) and technical support send me a new one that works OK!. It's a great product but pin connection could be improved. Thank's a lot to pimoroni technical support.
