“I have been running librelec on my Pi4 in this case for one week (24/7 on). The case is sometimes pretty hot and I believe the temp is a reason for two sudden restarts.”
“At rest, the Pi 4 in this enclosure raises around 48°C. With the maximum CPU (not GPU) load, it around to 52°C and then maintains this level. So if you're looking for an efficient passive cooling and don't mind having a 50°C box, this is good.”
“What can I say, a big fan (or not) of FLIRC cases. Not the cheapest, by far and away the best.
So, apart from a change of form factor for the Pi4, we have the case as a heat sink. Does it work? Generating DH codes for an hour or so (1 core flat out), the Pi stayed below 50C and the case felt like it matched that, so I would say yes. Better than I would have expected with a sealed case and no ventilation.
WiFi concerns? Partially warranted. The case isn't completely aluminium, the bottom is plastic, so while I experienced no issues, the exact orientation of case wrt to antenna may cause a significant(for a given value) drop.
Summary, worth every penny.”
“I got two FLIRC cases for my new Pi 4s They are well made and run very nicely. I also bought a case for one of my Pi 3s and likewise it's well made and runs very nicely”
“I recently got the PI 4 to go alongside my earlier PI 3 B+ purchase which I have set up as a retro gaming gaming PC. These devices are absolutely fantastic, my kid loves the gaming PC and will no doubt love the PI 4 media PC I am going to set up.
So far I have just been tinkering with it but it is a great product and the aluminium case looks absolutely spot on, will look great next to the TV.
Order and delivery was easy as PI with delivery coming via DHL who get in touch prior to delivery which was just as well as I needed to redirect mine to a pickup point.
Cant reccomend the product and the store enough and will be using them again in the future.”
