Good quality casting - the case to board gap is correctly sized for the various heat transfer pads. I didn’t try the camera port, so can’t comment on how well a camera connector fits.

A good (and silent) heat sink, also providing a good degree of mechanical protection for the Pi4. This is the second one I have. Improvements could be, some support for the underside of the board (it bow's slightly with the force of the pad on the SOC, also some electrial grounding, even if just a spring finger to the nearby LAN/USB sockets might be good, but could be retrofitted if needed. Also, some means to mount the thing as a whole on a chassis or inside a larger case perhaps, but overall happy, after all, as above I now have two!

This Heatsink has got the temperature down from approx 60c to around 37c which makes the Rpi 4 with 2gig ram much more happy.

Nicely made heatsink, makes contact with 3 chips on the pi 4 rather than just the CPU (as on the flirc and coolermaster cases I have). Not sure if they needed cooled or not, but feels reassuring. They also provide two sets of thermal pads for each size which is a very nice touch. I am only using the top piece as I have it on a 3d printed mount, but its nice that the back piece is metal and so should provide good protection. Having different colours is nice if, like me you use multiple pi's as its a good way to recognise them at a glance.

No more noisy fans. The Pi 4 is now silent and cool.

It decreases the temperature of the oil for about 15 degrees. It’s not a fan to make noise or draw power from the pi. It’s a really nice passive cooling solution.
