I bought the Aluminium Armour as an alternative to the usual case after reading that the Pi 4 benefits from running cooler. It was easy to attach to the Pi and fits like a glove. It does get warm in use, and is machined and finished to a high standard; it looks good too. Recommend.

looks Cool! I'm using a Pi 4 as a Plex server - was worried from various comments about heat build up. highest I've had it is low 60's when in use from two plex clients - so very pleased.

I gave this an extreme stress test running rosetta@home distributed computing and the heatsink worked well. In normal use this will only get slightly warm. I would say that the heatsink and supplied compound work well and it is easy to apply to the PI. Very pleased over all, would recommend.

Very easy to install, looks good and seems to do a good job of pulling heat away from the chips. Would buy again if I had another project that doesn’t require hiding additional hardware with the pi

My Pi 4 is very happy in this case. It was simple to put together (in fact most of the assembly was done by a seven year old with a bit of supervision), and the end result is a pleasingly solid block of shiny aluminium that looks good on the desk. Without any active cooling, the case does get a bit warm to the touch (even under fairly minimal system load) but I've yet to manage to get the case properly hot.

The case is very nice, fits really well and includes thermal pads to help cool the hot bits on the board, my pi sits around 50 degrees with this on, maybe I should have bought the one with the fan, never mind. The only issue I had was one of the screen holes wasn't drilled all the way through so I just had to finish it off, no biggie

Great looking case, but for some situations you might need the one with fans.
