It has fans. Two of them, and they spin when you connect them to the GPIO. The case is like, metal or something, and gets warm with the PI 4 on, so it's like, doing the thing it's meant to do. It looks like Darth Vader's PI so there's that also. Highly recommended.

A sturdy solution that couples as a giant heatsink. Easy construction and a perfect fit. Fans are a little noisy though

The screws have to be very loose for the fans, but aside that it is great. Please note that you can use the "pinout" command to determine where you voltage and grounds are: J8: 3V3 (1) (2) 5V GPIO2 (3) (4) 5V GPIO3 (5) (6) GND In this case your Pinouts are as follows 4=Red and 6=Black

This is a well-designed, well-engineered and well made cooling solution that doubles up as a very robust "Pi Protector". 2 small issues: 1. The size of the "fan" screws is almost indistinguishable from the "case" screws and very easy to get wrong. Obvious when you've done it - the misplaced screw heads will sit proud above the fan tops - but it would have been better to either use uniform screw sizes or make the differences clearer. Also, the photographs on the product page do not show the electrical connectors for the fans correctly positioned. Contrary to Andy J., below, you should NOT use pins 4 and 6. Instead, please refer here https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/usage/gpio/ to the original documentation for the GPIO header. Because there is no documentation it isn't clear if these are 3.3v or 5v fans - I've connected up as 5v and all seems well enough...

Noticeably buzzy calms down for a while if you tap the fan hub. Could do with a temp control instead of being always on

Significantly lowers the temperature on the pi, simple to assemble.
