“Excellent fan, the device itself keeps the device cool perfectly but the only complaint is the volume of the fan.
The supporting scripts are fantastic for having full control of the fan, I use the LED control to disable as the Pi is on view and i'm not keen on the light being on show.”
“(+) The fan is very quiet and efficient: perfect for cooling an RPi 4/4.
(+) Product description is correct & mentiones BCM18
BUT
(-) Why (on earth) did you use BCM18? Why not BCM4?? Every DAC I know of uses BCM18... Rpi 4/4 with a DAC and the Fan SHIM would be such a Media player/server gem :(”
“I got some of these before the instructions link was created, and I couldn’t figure out what to do with the nylon nuts and screws. I probably eventually could have figured out how to install this fan shim, so it was compatible with the Pi-bow case, but I set them aside and several days later, instructions appeared. Excellent! The switch on the shim wasn’t really accessible with the case, until I drilled a hole in the case for a paper clip to get to it, see my review of the case below.”
“Installation was seemless and the Python script is easy to install and configure. I use it with the official Raspberry Pi 4 case without the lid. The Fan Shim easily keeps the temperature at the specified threshold.”
