“I used copper shims and thermal paste instead of the supplied thermal pads. It idles at 26C and when stress tested it sits about 45C. Very happy with this case.
My case worked best with a 0.5mm shim on CPU and 1mm on the others. The fans are also very quiet. I have it on 24/7 as web server”
“The fans are very quiet and the heat sink is pretty solid. There are of course better cooling options out there, but the price and compact size make this a great choice to consider. Plus the GPIO and PoE pins aren't covered and still accessible.”
“Some instructions would have been useful. However, great case with quiet cooling. Consider replacing the supplied heat pads with copper shims and thermal paste for even better cooling.”
