Review on GeeekPi Raspberry Pi 4 Case with ICE Tower Cooler - CPU Cooling Fan, Raspberry Pi 4 Case with Fan, Heatsink & Case for Raspberry Pi 4 Model B by Jason Caldwell

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Excellent cooling, but the case is not directly compatible.

As many other reviews have noted, the cooler and case are great products on their own, but it's clear they were never designed to work together. With a bit of creative assembly and missing one of the body layers, I managed to assemble everything very sturdily and am very happy with it. Instead of the supplied sticky thermal pad for the CPU cooler, I used a small 1mm thick copper plate and installed it with high-quality thermal paste. I can confirm that this is 100% overkill, because at 100% load with a 2GHz overclock the Pi temperature does not rise above 40 degrees Celsius. That's an incredible achievement. I highly recommend the cooler. I do not recommend this kit due to case and cooler compatibility.

Pros
  • Consistent test results
Cons
  • Could have opted for a newer model
