“Straight out the box, this felt great, good weight to it and very little struggle to put it together. Easily fits over the Pi5 and the fans kick in when they need to, even without the software. I'm using it along with the Pi5 for a Batocera setup and it performs extremenly well for such a small form fan set. Comes with the thermal pads, which you need to stick on BEFORE you assemble. Once that's done, it's a few screws and it's working. Nice and easy with the addition of the fan socket on the Pi5, all in all, took me less than 5 minutes to assemble.”
“Works perfectly with the pimoroni nvme base - just grab some 6mm M-F standoffs. Also managed to overclock the pi's CPU to 3GHz with this case with the temperature holding at 75degC max. Overall a great case!”
“Keeps the Pi super cool, especially compared to other projects using passive only cooling. Fans can seems a bit whiny, but what do you expect from them.”
