Great device - does everything claimed of it - but: wi-fi sensitivity (hence broadband speed) is much lower than the model 3B+. If it was not for the fact that I now use a wired LAN connection I would have returned the Pi4 as unusable. From online investigation it seems I am not the only one to have had this problem.

Looks good haven’t fitted it yet

Although popular wisdom is that bigger is better, this is large enough to be a tight fit and leaves me wondering about quality of contact. The adhesive has the appearance of being double sided tape rather than a thermal tape. As another reviewer has stated it might interfere with the camera and display connectors if these were to be used.

Bulky block, but comfortable fit on the board. Fits under a fan if you need belt and braces. Keeps the temp to well below 60C (and 30ish with a fan). Thought it might conflict with the GPIO pins, but there is enough room (just). Take care fitting it.

Be careful how you fit it,

Can't think of much that can be said about such a simple block, except that it works. Multiple colors for color coding a plus.

A useful addition. A large heatsink to help cool down your Pi during heavy processing operations. The size of two large first class stamps, it can be a tight fit between the display, GPIO and camera ribbon cables. Thermal backing tape included on the base of the heatsink.

Does a good job keeping the temperature at a steady 50°. Easy to install.
