“Fan builds up to huge speed after a minute or 2 and is screaming too loud to ignore. The case fits well.
Currently I'm trying to figure out how to manage the fan with a transistor and PWM setup from a GPIO pin.
So the part isn't ready to use out of the box, but it's given me a problem to fix which is a positive”
“I bought a Pi4 as my Windows 10 laptop had been made useless by a Windows update. This problem wasted a lot of time so I didn't have the patience to waste more time figuring out how to assemble a case from a bag of bolts and spacers without any diagram or instructions. I couldn't find help on the web either, though the situation may have improved.
The Pi4 is now working without a case. With light web use I haven't found it go above 45 degrees. The case will probably end up in the bin. However if your Pi4 will be used intensively and you like spending a little time on needless puzzles then this case and fan could be just the thing.”
“This is a nicely lazer cut case with air vents unlike the official case. Good inclusion of a fan but you will need to a resistor and transister to add speed control via a python script otherwise it's way too loud, a nice little projexr and this is what it's all about”
“Tidy little case, very easy to assemble. However, the HDMI ports are set too far back from the case walls, so the cables won't connect fully. You'll need to widen the hole with a file or similar to be able to use the HDMI. Hopefully this will be corrected in a future version of the case.
The fan is also very loud, and it spins constantly, even when the Pi is turned off. As long as it has power, the fan will spin. It doesn't come with the components to enable a condition-based fan activation.”
