“Amazingly quiet, and the included daemon is perfect, giving a status LED and only spinning up the fan when necessary. Doesn't even get in the way of the GPIO pins!”
“Previously I tried to cool my Raspberry 4 with a simple heat sink, but it was overheated all the time. With this I couldn't overheat it a single time so far (also it is really silent)”
Ahoy! You can program the switch and light to do a variety of things, but in our example the LED shows the temperature of the Pi and the button provides an override for the automatic script - more info here: https://learn.pimoroni.com/tutorial/sandyj/getting-started-with-fan-shim
“Brilliant!! was tricky to put together with my Shrek size hands getting the lead from the fan into the board but got there in the end using tweezers, screws have a nice tight fit and good threads even being plastic. Fan was so easy to install just literally place it onto the end pins and powered up the pi and it worked perfect. I am sitting about 50cm from the pi and have only heard the fan once when watching videos for about 1hr on youtube, apart from that it is so quiet. looking forward to coding it and setting it to automatically come on etc. Great product A+++”
