Review on πŸ”Œ UCTRONICS PoE HAT for Raspberry Pi 4: Power Over Ethernet Expansion Board with Cooling Fan by Raffy Baer

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Poor case design, heats up but works. Pi

While the product does what it's supposed to do, I'm not thrilled. The case was difficult to assemble, and after that not everything is so reliable. I had to REMOVE the heatsink from the CPU to attach the HAT. Before, my CPU was running at around 50C. Removing the heatsink and shutting off the airflow caused the processor to reach 72C. I can just remove the case and try to attach the Pi and a 12V DC 120mm fan to the board and use the larger fan for cooling. I think I can connect a larger fan to the terminals on the HAT.

Pros
  • handy thing
Cons
  • embarrassing thing
