“Purchased one of these to test it out and from what I can see at moment, it works well. I use the Raspberry pi in my shed and the fact that the top casing is metal, it survived a couple of knocks. I haven't pushed the overclocking as of yet. we have a few Pi 4's in the school so given the 'abuse' that can be inflicted by students, I'll be purchasing a few more.”
“I have had many raspi cases from Pimoroni for the various versions of the Pi but this one is the pinnacle, absolutely superb from internal fan and heatsinks aluminium shell just fabulous. So pleased to have bought this case.”
“An amazing case and keeps the pi cool. easy installation of the board and add on cards. The pins are a bit of a squeeze so be careful when lining up. The installation for the fan controller is easy to install with the included commands and configuring fan speeds and making custom temp control is great.”
“Very solid and sleek-looking case, all the connectors are in the back, the GPIO is protected by a magnetic lid, and has color-coded pins with legends. If you don't need the fan and the connectors in the back, consider the cheaper Argon NEO case.
Only con: the base is plastic, not aluminium, probably to avoid blocking the WiFi signal.”
“I needed a case for the Pi as I wasn't all too comfortable with having a web server sitting as a naked board on top of my desk, and I'm glad I did - the Pi runs surprisingly hot even when idle, and I saw a 5-10 degree difference under light-moderate load between having the internal cooling fan off and on. At idle, I'm now seeing a temperature hovering around 40C on hot days, so I couldn't be much happier. Case feels warm to the touch, but that means it's doing its job. Looks great, too, and has a detachable plate held on with magnets for the GPIO pins.”
“Using a Pi4 with official case, and use as Apache webserver with attached SSD, temperatures were typically around 60 degrees. Swapped out the case for the Argon ONE, and now runs at around 35-37 degrees out of the box.”
