simple to install and effective heat sink, would like to see the ability to fit a small fan to increase cooling. Also a cover to proyect the PIO

Great performance, no throttling, well made, and most of all silent

It's a great bit of kit. The top lies flush with the USB ports. The bottom adds about 7mm from the PCB. There are cutouts for all the ports on the PCB, and all the IO ports on the side are unimpeded. It gets quite warm to the touch, but I think that highlights how much something like this is needed on a Pi4. The only issue I have is that this isn't ideal as a computer for use on the move, as the SD card still sticks out slightly from the side, and the GPIO pins could get bent if chucked into a bag. For that use case, the Argon ONE case is much better. However - if it's just going to sit on a desk somewhere, then I can't think of any improvements.

In crude tests, this case keeps the CPU temp at or below 50C and the case at 40C - both these are 10C hotter than the twin fan Ally case. These conducted with approximately 50% CPU usage and ambient still air at 22C.
