Excellent cooling capability for Raspberry PI#4 and fits perfectly in the Pibow Coupe 4 Rainbow Case

Thoroughly recommended for anyone using Raspberry Pi 4 for CPU-intensive tasks. I run some DSP software and even with the largest passive sink I could throw at it after about 2 minutes my Pi 4 CPU temperature used to reach 80C, resulting with CPU throttling. Now the Fan SHIM kicks in and keeps it at safe 60C (give or take). Installation was very easy, it took me less than 5 minutes (including the software portion), thanks to excellent online documentation.

Believe the instructions! So easy to fit, even for someone as ham-fisted as me. The software to run it is also accessible and straightforward and is a good learning tool for improving your Linux/Python skills.

The fan shim does its job nicely. Its quiet and unobtrusive it sits there just doing its job. My Raspberry Pi sits running all day and simply works. I am grateful however for the video installation instructions, it helped imbuing confidence that my fitting mirrored that of the installation video.
