Very nice product. Easy to install and cools very well. Especially the software that ensures maximum cooling only when necessary is a great addition. I can definitely recommend this fan.

Lacks instructions and the light doesn’t dim as I think it should.

Amazingly quiet, and the included daemon is perfect, giving a status LED and only spinning up the fan when necessary. Doesn't even get in the way of the GPIO pins!

Cools the Raspberry Pi 4 to acceptable levels even with light overclocking (1.8ghz)!!

Previously I tried to cool my Raspberry 4 with a simple heat sink, but it was overheated all the time. With this I couldn't overheat it a single time so far (also it is really silent)

It works, but I'm not sure what the switch and light does.

Ahoy! You can program the switch and light to do a variety of things, but in our example the LED shows the temperature of the Pi and the button provides an override for the automatic script - more info here: https://learn.pimoroni.com/tutorial/sandyj/getting-started-with-fan-shim
