Raspberry Pi 4 Case with Cooling Fan and Heatsink for Pi 4B

The case works great for RPi 4, easy assembly and allows access to the GPIO pins along with slots for camera and display ribbon cables. The fan and heatsinks work well to keep the board cool.

I bought a different case initially that I returned and then bought this one. The difference is night and day. This case is very high quantity.Installation of my board was fast and easy, including the fan and heat sinks. It is an exact fit around my board, leaving no gaps around all the various ports (something that really bothered me about the case I bought previously).And you can't beat the price. These guys will be my automatic go-to the next time I need a RPi case.

My 14-day assessment is this is a great value case. A few quick points:Fan volume:The fan was noticeable on the 5v connector but not obnoxious. I’m noise-averse to fans from equipment on my desk so I dropped the fan to the 3.3v connector on the Pi and couldn’t hear a thing, even 12 inches.Temperature (at 3.4v “low” speed)I ran a stress test ($stress-ng) and never went above 75C using the included case, fan, and thermal tape. My ambient room temperature was 72F (22C), and at no load the P4 averages 43-44C.//cut//<beginning 20 min into stress test>16:40:01 UTC - Temperature: 75.0 C load average: 4.08, 4.02, 3.7116:45:01 UTC - Temperature: 73.0 C load average: 4.08, 4.02, 3.8116:50:01 UTC - Temperature: 75.0 C load average: 4.08, 4.02, 3.8816:55:01 UTC - Temperature: 73.0 C load average: 4.08, 4.04, 3.93<test stopped at roughly 16:57 UTC>17:00:01 UTC - Temperature: 47.2 C load average: 0.11, 1.96, 3.1317:05:01 UTC - Temperature: 44.3 C load average: 0.00, 0.71, 2.2517:10:01 UTC - Temperature: 44.8 C load average: 0.00, 0.25, 1.6217:30:01 UTC - Temperature: 43.3 C load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.41//cut//Without modification, the Pi 4 CPU throttles at 80C to preserve itself, so this was really a test to see if I would ever need to adjust to a higher speed depending on my use case.If you want to duplicate the test, just make this into a script and add it to your crontab at 5 min intervals (*/5 * * * * /path/to/script)echo "`date` `landscape-sysinfo --sysinfo-plugins=Temperature` `uptime | cut -b 39-70`" >> mytempOne complaint: The screws.The screws on this case are very poor quality. They’re tough to get in and easy to strip. Not a problem if you intend to set it up and the ignore it forever, but if you want to take the case apart frequently for different projects then I recommend a different model. I think 1-star off is justified for a case you can only disassemble a few times, especial for a project board.Overall, great value case and at low speeds the fan is inaudible and still keeps the Pi4 below throttle temp.

This is my first venture into Rasberry Pi so i have nothing to compare against. However, I found the case easy to assemble in all of 5 minutes.Easy to assembleCame with what i needed for the caseHave fan on high, it is audible but i would not say loudCase stays cool during the many hours i have it runningI did find any issues with the case, but i do have some suggestions for improvement. I wish there was writing to mark what each port is, lets be honest it should be obvious but little touches like that are nice. I also wish that there was something the board down to the case, cause even when case is sealed it moves a bit. Also wish the SD card slow was open a little more as it can be hard for my big hands to get in there, but again i am not doing this often but it is something to note.Overall very happy with the case and nothing noted would be a reason to not buy it again.

The case is very effective and ascetically pleasing. It is a simple install procedure, that is shown directly on the amazon page (no instructions included.)The fan itself isn't terribly loud, but isn't silent. At 6 inches away it is running about 32db while room ambiance is 28db. Putting the mic right next to the fan resulted in around 50db. That being said, it's terribly effective.When running a simple stress test, the CPU will spike to 59°C after two minutes with the fan running. Without the fan, the CPU spikes to 72°C, a 13°C difference! I honestly did not expect it to make that much of a difference. I still don't think I will keep it running for the majority of the time, but if I am ever running stressful loads on the Pi, I will make sure to have it plugged in.The case looks very professionally produced, except for the large slot for accessing the pins. I wish it came with a cover that you could snap on to protect them when not in use. However, for the price I'd say this thing is unbeatable!

Things to note about this case. 8 $ for a decent case! Comes with fans and heatsinks. Instructions for the case have you applying positive pressure (air flowing in) to the board. With the design of the case (despite having a vented front) heat kinda just swims around inside the case. Thankfully, they thought of this and provided a fan that could be put either way. So, reverse how the fan is and now we have negative pressure (pulling heat out of the case, in other words air being pulled out of the case). Otherwise, cutouts and microsd card access are great. The holes next to the fan allow for ribbon cables to be run. So that means if you have such things lying around you can use them. My only small nitpick would be that there should be a latched “door” for the gpio headers as an extra layer of protection. Now just waiting for micro hdmi to hdmi cables and then I can get started on a small project
