“This excellent passive cooling case comes in a nice, minimalist box.
There are no instructions on how to install, but it's pretty straightforward.
It looks great and works nicely, bringing the temperatures of my Raspberry Pi 4 from 70C to 52C, under medium load.
A few tricks can still be used to reduce it even further, as don't attaching the top black plastic lid and/or let it sit on top of a metal plate (i.e. a turned off wall heater), to allow the heat to dissipate even further (Do not do this if the heater is on!)
The black lid looks really nice and I'm happy with 53C, so I let it on.
For the users that need access to GPIO this might not be the best case out there - you will need to buy a slim flat cable adapter and route it towards the bottom of the case, unfortunately. Since I don't need it, this case is perfect for me.”
“Excellent case. Well made with easy access to the external ports. You can see the activity / power lights next to the SD card slot which I find really useful - some cases mask these LED's which is a shame. Aluminium top construction and supplied heat pad all make for good passive cooling. The later firmware releases obviously have made great strides to reduce the Pi4b's default thermal profile so active cooling is no longer as needed as when it was first released. The only downside is no access to the GPIO pins so not an appropriate case for makers - I'm personally looking out for the upcoming Cooler Master case for that which I hope PiHut will stock later in the year (it's currently a Kickstarter so no where near the market yet)”
