Raspberry Pi 4 case

I LOVE THIS CASE!!! It is SO simple to assemble and works EXACTLY as advertised. It simply does what I need it to do!!! To address issues raised by a couple of other reviewers: 1) One person gave it 1 star because there are no port labels. If you don't know the difference between USB 3.0 and USB 2.0, you probably don't need to be working with Linux based systems and SBC projects. No port labels isn't a deal breaker for me. Is it for you? 2) One person gave it 1 star because of the space between the built-in heatsink and the CPU. NEWS FLASH: the case comes with a thermal PAD! Not thermal paste. Not thermal tape. A THERMAL PAD!!!!!! The space is there to accommodate the thickness of the pad. In fact, another reviewer measured the distance between the heatsink and the CPU in order to purchase a copper heatsink thick enough to bridge the gap. He then added thermal paste. This gap is supposed to be there. Bottom line, the case is the best on the market! It SIGNIFICANTLY reduces the operating temp without any of the noise a fan produces. It's also a sleek design. AND the value is just unbeatable. Try it out. You won't buy another case for your Pis.

I received the CanaKit branded version of this case with my latest Raspberry Pi purchase and like it so much I decided to purchase one for my other Pi 4B. It turns out that this is the same case that CanaKit rebranded for their kits and it was inexpensive! I extremely happy with the fit of this case as it provides access to all the external ports and the SD card slot. The ports all line up perfectly with the openings in the case and the SD card is easily accessible. As an added bonus, there is a cutout next to the SD card slot that provides visibility to both the power and the activity LEDs on the end of the Pi board. The bottom of the case is plastic and the top has a snap on soft-feel plastic cover over the aluminum. I've had no issues with WiFI or Bluetooth being blocked while in this case. As far as cooling goes, the case is fantastic. I'm running Docker, Portainer, and Pi-hole processes 24x7 and the temps have settled around 45 C with the Pi sitting on a shelf in my server rack. The Pi has never come close to thermal throttling even under high loads and it remains silent due to the absence of a fan. In my opinion this is the best no-frills, passive cooling Raspberry Pi 4B cases available, and it looks good too!

Best metal enclosure I could find for my Raspberry Pi 4. Every thing fits together properly. Best of all, the Pi never overheats while running the LibreElec media player software. No fan is required. I am very happy with it.

Great value case. It does more than enough to cool my RPI4. I'm happy I no longer have to use a fan. And now my Pi sits silently, running my Home Assistant server.

It’s the best case I’ve worked with. The plastic bottom means that WiFi isn’t blocked (a problem with all aluminum cases), and that’s a big deal. It is also the best at keeping the core cool. Even when running LINPACK (the same benchmark for the TOP500 supercomputer list), it only just reaches 80°C, and only just triggers thermal cpu throttling. It does have a couple issues: the surface that mates with the CPU is not flat– it even has a molding mark making a bubble (shown in picture). Another issue is the case doesn’t actually touch the CPU: a thick thermal pad is used. It would be nice if there was better contact, so heat could be transferred better. Finally, the top has a nice soft-touch piece of plastic - which looks great, but inhibits heat transfer - meaning a hotter CPU. Fortunately the plastic lid can be left off. That said, when all four cores are running at full tilt, heat is still transferred to the case pretty well - I can’t hold my finger against any part of the case for more than a few seconds.

My raspberry pi 4 came with the original case and was constantly running at about 60-70C, with occasional upticks towards 80C. I decided to purchase a fan case instead thinking that would cool it down, which it definitely did. With a fan case my temps dropped down to about 35C...but unfortunately the fan buzz noise was just loud enough and distracting that I had to move my raspberry pi from sitting on my desk into a back corner of my room (where I could still hear it, but less). Happy with the cooler pi yet unhappy with the fan noise I decided to try out this case based on the reviews. I'm very glad I did! It does run a bit hotter than the fan case, now showing a temp hovering around 43C. It's silent as can be, and the case is very sleek looking. I can finally put my beloved little pi back on my desk where it looks beautiful and I can love it and pet it and call it George. The aluminum of the case does get warm...but I haven't had any issues with it being HOT to the touch. I can definitely still pick it up and grip it / hold it without any issues. English muffins out of my toaster do WAY more damage to my hands. The black top / bottom is a nice soft rubbery material. Recommend you give this a try if you're looking for a silent cooling case. My Pi use cases so far: - DHCP / DNS pihole - gBridge - Home Assistant - MQTT - web / proxy server

This is a great case for the Raspberry Pi4. I overclocked it at 2Gz and surprisingly it stayed way below 80 C. In stress test it never peaked over 61C. And that is without a fan. The entire case becomes a heat sink so careful it gets hot. Under idle it sits at 38-39C. I ordered the Argon 1 for the Pi4 and it didn't even power up. Had to return it. I may order another one of these. It's a gr8 looking case, $10 cheaper and no daughter board to go bad or not work like the Argon 1. I even was able to use a ribbon cable to get to the GPIO pins and keep the case closed. If you're looking to use the camera or CSI display you need to take the top off. But I use it hooked up to my TV to run get IPTV through a browser so I can stay a cord cutter (or YouTube). Hooked up through HDMI cable. Such a great case and sleek design. Unbelievable cooling. Can you tell I'm really in love with this case?! Great passive cooling for a case with the Pi4 overclocked at 2Gz.

Loving this little case and its passive cooling approach. All the ports line up as expected and it looks quite neat. Not having a fan means my Home Assistant Raspberry Pi can live the quiet life in the cupboard without sucking in dust.

My favorite case for Pi Projects - cool without a fan - use as industrial controllers in remote locations

見た目が美しいですし、思っていたいたよりも冷却性能が高かったです。 別のケースでファンを3Vで低速回転させた状態のものと比べてみたのですが、このケースを使ったほうが温度を低く保てています。 (筐体の周囲温度が高くなる夏場だとどうなるかは、またわらないところですが) 商品画像にあるようにCPUとの間にスポンジみたいな触感のサーマルパッドをはさんで装着しますが、 筐体はもちろん不透明ですし、あまり開口部がなくて内部の様子を覗き見ることができないため、 しっかりと装着できたかちょっと不安になるのが若干の難点でしょうか。 底部からのネジ止めで締め付けることによって密着させる構造のようですので、 しっかりとネジ締めを行うことが大切そうです。

Muy buen producto, facil de instalar y el material es de buena calidad.

Good heat sink and keeps my raspberry Pi within 55 degrees. My usage is high. Handle them with care. One time it slipped and fell down , though it did not break but one of the curved edge become flat and paint came out. Looks like the metal is of high quality.
