“An absolutely brilliant way to cool and protect your Pi4 and still use GPIO and or power. I converted the pinouts and positioned a POE on the top of this case and it still looks and functions amazingly well as a Pi-Hole and Home Bridge Server. Would highly recommend this Armour for your Pi Project.”
“Not done any scientific tests, but it certainly seemed to keep my Pi 4B cool while I was installing Arch Linux and then browsing the web with Firefox. Looks neat. There's no problem with getting plugs into the various sockets, unlike some case that get in the way. The only drawback is that it doesn't completely enclose the Pi, so if you're looking for protection from say dirt or liquids it won't do that.”
“Silent, blue, hefty and very securely attached above and below the pi4. It routinely runs at 31 to 35 Centigrade. Running 20 mins of hard Maths (hard for me, not my pi4) raised the temp closer to 40. If you don't want yours too run hot and be speed throttled then this is thoroughly recommended.”
“Brilliant design. Just what I needed. Fitted the aluminium heatsink case and attached a USB hard drive with a rubber band and can now safely tuck the Pi away hidden from sight.”
“Two solid chunks of aluminium to sandwich the Raspberry Pi 4, 3 thermal pads that thinly spread in place when the 4 screws are fastened snugly in place using the supplied wrench.
Pads are probably destroyed in the process but I'm not going to replace this awesome case with any other since it's just perfect: beautifully rugged, silent and only warm to the touch under load.”
“Looks great, well made and does the job well. Only criticism is the thermal pads. Very difficult to get the backings off them and eded up tearing the CPU one in half.”
