“Pros:
Nice low profile and takes power from the GPIO pins even if you have a hat on the Pi
Cons:
It’s noisy, I have a couple of other Pi fans and they’re much quieter.
Comes disassembled so might be a bit fiddly for those with mobility issues.
The LED is super bright by default and you have to install their software if you want to turn it down
Once in a C4Labs case, it didn’t actually cool the processor much.”
“Easy assembly except for getting the power lead into the Fan socket - need tiny fingers. Fan is quiet. The Pimoroni python code to run the fan is useful, but oddly powers up the fan when you shutdown. Nice LED lights, but I would have used blue instead of green!”
“The fan isn’t loud and is either on or off. The RGB LED is very bright. I had to set the brightness to about 10% to make it comfortable to look at.
The systemd service it comes with is very handy, allowing the fan to only spin when needed and using the colour of the led to communicate the system temperature.”
