“Brilliant case/heatsink. A little fiddly to assemble but nothing too difficult to do. When you use an extender on the GPIO pins, the extended pins match the height of the case. That's a neat design feature. The heatsink/case converts the fragile-looking Pi card into a robust brick without the loss of any connections. I tested it by running my Pi very nearly flat out for over an hour rendering the BBC's live Wimbledon tennis stream. The temperature reported by the OS rose to around 82C and stayed there. I was also pleased to see how quickly the temperature went down when I turned the stream off despite the elevated thermal mass of the board.”
“Having bought a 4GB RPi and worrying it might need more cooling that my 2GB, I was intrigued by this model of case.
The build quality is superb, the parts are solid and fit together marvellously.
I looked up the assembly instructions on this website, and they illustrated putting the cooling pads on the 3 chips on Pi board and placing top cover on that.
The unit once screwed together is solid and rugged, and looks and feels like an impressive piece of kit. Super happy with this case.”
