“Easy to install but coupled with the PI4 official case it is a nightmare due to the high pitch noise it makes. I have since made some holes in the case to help airflow and the whine of the fan has toned down.”
“A great addition to the starter kit to keep your project cool under high demand. Only 2 very small niggles are. 1 - install instructions are not overly clear but looking at online photos will point you in the right direction without any issue. 2 - fan is a bit noisy, so depending on your application this could be a bit of an issue.
But all in all its a great bit of kit.”
“I WAS PROMPTED TO REVIEW THIS PURCHASE. AT LEAST I THINK I WAS - I COULDN"T HEAR CLEARLY OVER THE SOUND OF THE FAN!
It only activates above certain temperatures when configured correctly, but the volume and the pitch are just horrible to be around. I think part of the problem is the lack of airflow out of the case, and I'll likely just get a different case with passive cooling. But the only way to get a pi4 right now meant buying a kit, so I thought I'd try and get some use out of the included cases.”
