“This fits perfectly on a pi 4 b. Using it for a pi I have running batocera for retro gaming.
The fans are virtually silent.
The heat sink does get hot so you need to take care on where you locate your pi. I.e. not attached or sitting on anything that could melt.
One thing I would say that could be improved is the fan connector wires. They stick out a bit. So could be shorter or be able to tuck away. Would improve the overall aesthetics.
But very happy with purchase.

“Bought to house my Octoprint/CNCjs server. Honestly, I bought it mainly for aesthetic reasons. It just looks great, and the matt black finish perfectly matches my workbench. I could have maybe gotten away with the no fan alternative, but I figured, for a few quid more, it's better to play it safe, those 3D print and CNC jobs can go on for hours. I thought the noise of the fans might get annoying but figured it'd be drowned out by the noise of the machines anyway. I was pleasantly surprised though, since the fans are all but silent. I haven't had the chance to give the setup a full test yet, since my 3D printer obligingly broke and I've been waiting on the part to fix it. This weekend should see it all up and running,though. I'm looking forward to putting it through it's paces.
It almost goes without saying that service was superb. Never had a bad experience with Pi Hut. Delivery is always quick, and communication is excellent. Always my first port of call.”
“Keeps the pi cool and fits well, but somewhat blocks the camera and display ports from being opened properly, due to the connectors needing to be lifted before being latched. This means you have to install the cables for these components beforehand, and cannot change them without removing the case.
Otherwise a good heatsink, I just hope they can make the small adjustments needed so the display and camera cables can still be used”
“This is a simple, well-engineered case that fits the Pi4 perfectly. The fans are surprisingly quiet - I can barely hear them. Would certainly recommend it and will buy again with my next Pi4”
“Works very well, my pi4 doesn't go above 70°C when under load, and stays around 35°C at idle with this installed, with an ambient temperature of 25°C. Fans are basically silent, even when running off of 5V power.”
“Small, compact and looks smart.
Minor niggle, would be better if it also came with four standoffs instead of bolts because as it stands it can't be fixed onto a base.”
