Great fan, currently not using it with the official case but with a custom case. The good thing about this is that is has support for PWM for which i have wrote a small bash script that triggers the fan when the SOC temps reach 50 degrees celsius and turn the fan off at 40 degrees celsius. Very convinient and keeps the PI cool.

My Pi was running Boinc 24/7 at 20% processor time and was at a constant 75°c in it's case. The install was relatively simple, sit the fan on top of the board and connect the cable, put the case together and boot up. Now with Boinc at 60% processor time, my Pi running at a much more subdued 55°c. I'm very impressed! Bear in mind though, that it is a small fan so it does run with a tolerable whine

For:- Works good with the official case. Not to loud. Only comes on when needed due to temperature feedback. Includes heatsink. Good value without P&P. Against:- Bit fiddly to fit and get everything in case.

I bought the Raspberry PI to replace an Apple Mac mini for web browsing and Friday night kitchen disco’s. Had an issue with Video Tearing so was advised to ‘over clock’ the PI and bought the fan to assist with the cooling - easy to fit and works a treat. Still not believe the low cost of this kit - amazing.

It's great, I love that it can be adjusted using the GPIO pin, in 'sudo raspi-config' you can make it automatically kick in the fan when the raspberry reaches a certain temperature using the 'fan control' setting in 'performance options'. It's a little loud, but changing it to the 3.3V rail solves the problem!

Fits neatly into the case for the Pi 4 and is simple to set up by adjusting settings in the preferences section. It is loud enough that you can hear it operating, but so far I haven't got the Pi hot enough for it to kick in!

Works as advertised and seems to cool properly. Slightly noisy when working but not anything to worry about.

Firstly - Well done PiHut agin on good service. On the fan itself though, it works well and does exactly what we needed in terms of cooling. However, it makes a really irritating noise, so at the moment it is disconnected.
