“I use Pi4 with Kodi, the FLIRC case is the perfect companion. Very polite and show all the led's light of the PI.”

“The Raspberry Pis have been getting hotter and hotter over time, and according to the reviews, the Pi 4 definitely needs cooling for even moderate workloads if CPU throttling is to be avoided. I used active cooling with my Pi 3+, and it works well, but the fan draws extra power and I'm not sure how well such small fans will last - so for the Pi 4 I wanted to use passive cooling. So, as soon as this case became available, I took the plunge and bought a 4GB pi 4 along with the case. The Flirc case looks great and does a really good job of keeping the Pi "cool", even under heavy loads (the CPU temperature stayed under 60 C - so no CPU throttling :-). The case itself does get quite warm (I wouldn't say hot) but that just shows that it's doing an effective job at removing the heat from the CPU. Before I bought the case, my only concern had been that it might degrade the Pi's on-board WiFi performance, but for me at least, any interference appears to be minimal as the WiFi signal strength indicator on the task bar showed about the same level as my Pi 3+ did when mounted in a plastic case.”

“Like the passivity. Passive means quiet! Why the plastic top that restricts cooling? Even better with a ribbed aluminium top.”

“A neat housing for the Pi. It does get quite hot but maybe this just means the heat sink is working well! One problem, probably true of other cases as well, is that there is no access to the 'GPIO' without removing the case or extending the terminals to outside of the case.”

“This case is excellent for my Pi 4. It runs 20 degrees cooler than when it was in the Official Pi case, which is remarkable for passive cooling! My only query is whether removing the case lid to attach a GPIO extender will affect the efficiency of the thermal pad when I put it back on... But, that's a knowledge issue, and not a quality issue! 5 star product easily!”
