“Stylish and effective. Replaced a fan with no noticeable performance loss but significant reduction in noise. Happy enough to replace all cooling fan solutions on my other R Pi 4 units.”
“Supplies my pi with decent amount of cooling but still gets hot by itself. Can only imagine what it'd be by itself. The case is stylish and compact so looks good tucked away as long as it gets air flow, otherwise it gets too hot.”
“I was running two Sony PlayStation Eye cameras concurrently on my Raspberry Pi 4B, but the over-temperature warning displayed after a mere eight minutes. … So decided to try the ‘Heatsink Case’ : This is an absolute gem !
.
With the ‘Heatsink Case’ … after a full hour with two cameras running, the processor temperature had stabilised at 54°C and the heatsink was [according to my ‘ray-gun’ infra red thermometer] at about 45°C. This is too warm to leave sitting on polished furniture, but it’s a tremendous improvement, and nicely proves the concept.
.
I am delighted with the product, and with the excellent service from Pimoroni

“Nice solid case - it does get warm - meaning its doing its job :-) - Little fingers might be taken back by the amount of heat it produces.
Gpio pins very accessible - as per the norm turn the pi off before attracting wires
the internal header cable for camera / screen not so accessible if you want to reseat I think you would need to remove case and reassemble.
would I buy another one ? Yes 100%”
