Best cooling solution for the raspberry pi 4

Keeps the pi as cool as you need it under normal load. Gets a bit warm when overclocking and you might need something with an integrated heatsink if under a constant heavy load but for normal use it does the job.

A bit noisy and loose on the GPIO pins. It do work, but I much prefer passive cooling with the FLIRC case. The fan will keep going if you shutdown the PI but still get power through the power supply. I appreciate the product for its educative purpose more than its cooling efficiency.

Building the fan shim was fairly straight-forward using the relevant tutorial video. Fit nicely onto my PI (which is in a Coupé 4 case.) I had read some reviews that mentioned noise from the fan - so was pleasantly relieved to find I could not hear anything when it was whirring around at full speed.

Instantly, my overclocked Pi4 is running at 38c! Easy assembly, and install - looks great in my Ninja Coupe case. Great price, fast delivery - what's not to love?

For such a small fan, it keeps the Raspberry Pi 4 nice and cool, even when its fully loaded and running at 100%, I tried running the Pi at 100%, it really works. Highly recommended.
