“There is some self-assembly required when fitting the fan (I forgot to use two of the supplied nuts as spacers at first!) but the instructions are easy to follow online. Once installed, I recommend downloading the Python code to permit the fan to be temperature controlled. Once everything is installed it all seems to work fine. :)”

“Initially bought for 2GB Raspberry Pi 4 to cool the board as the intention was to run ubuntu server and overclock the processor. Assembly was really easy and within 10 minutes fan was fitted to the board. For reasons related to that specific board's SD card setup the fan had some unexpected glitches and I was contemplating returning it until I had a what if moment. I have another Raspberry Pi 4 (4 Gb version also purchased from Pi Hut) running Raspbian and so decided to swap the fan across. Worked brilliantly doing what the product description said it would do. Have run the command line scripts as per instructions and now fan activates at set SOC temperature and turns off when sufficiently cooled. Hassle free instructions for setting up from pimoroni website very useful. The forum for the product also helpful in confirming the 2GB Raspberry 4 setup was the issue and not the fan. So in summary, very happy with my purchase.”

“If you want to keep your Pi cool this is the best one yet. 4 stars as it’s easy to put together. Easy to use, but sadly no speed control option. It’s very quiet but when you have 4 in a room, it would be great to run it slower”
