“I'm impressed with this case. I had been using a case with a fan but the fan noise was noticeable so I thought I try this one. My Pi does run a few degrees warmer than it did with the fan but it is still only running in the low 30s which is well below the reckoned safe maximum and the silence is deafening. One criticism is that neither of my cases came with instructions and both had two sets of thermal pads so I stuck one set on the chips and one set on the case having removed both top and bottom protective coverings. Some time after screwing the case together I noticed that the circuit board had a slight bend caused by the pressure of the top case being screwed down pushing on it through the thermal pads. It doesn't seem to have caused any problem and at least I know that there is contact but should only one set of pads have been fitted? No idea but if I remove one set now will that stop contact? I've just left it as it is.”

“Asthetically a really nice dual function case and heatsink. Assuming the silicone pads that fit between the heatsink and the chips have good conductivity then it has to be a winner. The only disadvantages are the ribbon cables are a bit tricky to insert and remove if you're going to want to do that and the SD card is a little exposed. My only regret is that I didn't buy these before for my other Pi's.”

“Nicely made heatsink, makes contact with 3 chips on the pi 4 rather than just the CPU (as on the flirc and coolermaster cases I have). Not sure if they needed cooled or not, but feels reassuring. They also provide two sets of thermal pads for each size which is a very nice touch. I am only using the top piece as I have it on a 3d printed mount, but its nice that the back piece is metal and so should provide good protection.”

“The Pi fits great and there are some pads to help heat transfer. Feels slightly warm when running so it's doing its job.”

“Very high quality. It even feels nice just to hold. It doesn't come with instructions however, so make sure that you apply the foam pads or it won't work. Keeps my pi very cool even when running some demanding stuff.”

“I would prefer it covers the sides a bit better. Overall good thermal performance. Just make sure you read the instructions before installing (on pi hut).”

“Simply amazing, cools down the Pi4 under heavy load without an anoying fan.”
