“This is super nice.
Looks nice next to a Mac, the color is like a lighter shade 'space gray'. The top is indeed very nice to touch, and it doesn't collect dirt as I thought it would. It sits nice and warm all the time which means it's doing its job as a heat sink. When I assembled it without the Pi to try how it fits together, I thought for a moment that it was flimsy as it wobbled around, but with the Pi inside everything fits perfectly. Routing the GPIO pins out via the ADA2028 was possible after grinding down the sides of the ribbon connector with a Dremel (it was in the way of the screws).”
“A very well made case that keeps the Raspberry Pi 4 as cool as the previous cases I used that also had fans running continuously. So no noise from fans, cool looking and cool for the Raspberry Pi temperature wise too!
Great value for money considering all the other cases of a similar price are plastic, not aluminium.
Normal great delivery and service from The PiHut - highly recommended,”
“I bought this case to keep the 4GB RPi4 cool and it does that well. The RPi4 is running DietPi at optimal temperature. It reports that as being between 45 and 49 degrees C. Doing the job well.”
“This case transports the heat from the processor to the body of the case very efficiently. In contrast to other cooling solutions, it does not have fan which could make noise and stays completely passive. The case gets warm, but never hot. I used the stress command for 10 minutes and the processor stayed well below 70 celsius. It never got close to 80, where thermal throttling would set in.
In conclusion, the perfect case for the RPi4”
“The pi 4 runs hot when in use so this case acts like a big silent heatsink which gets very warm to the touch but my Pi hasnt got about 65 degrees even under prolonged full loads. Best case for your Pi, and it looks good too!”
