“In crude tests, this case keeps the CPU temp at or below 50C and the case at 40C - both these are 10C hotter than the twin fan Ally case. These conducted with approximately 50% CPU usage and ambient still air at 22C.”
“I use my Raspberry as a pi-hole. It's not very demanding workload but I decided to buy some sort of case for it because it is sitting in the hallway beside the router. This aluminium armour is ideal because it's protecting and works as a heat sink as well. An when I touch it I can feel that it is warm. So its working as intended. One star down because there were only 2 thermal stickers and you need to connect 3 chips. Yes, the stickers were big enough to cut out for all 3, but cutting 2 rectangles and one square out of 2 squares was a bit complicated. One chip is only covered by 80% but I believe it will work ok.”
“Every time you are doing your next project this is a chance you can break unprotected PCB with just a sire contact if you unlucky.
This case protects, cools and makes Pi looks fantastic at the same time.”
“I bought the heatsink case with my pi4 order and I'm glad I did. I use the pi to run pihole and the average recorded temp is ~48 degrees celsius, the heatsink case is always warm to the touch but I'd rather that than the cpu constantly running hot. Plus, it looks cool.”
