Review on Argon Raspberry Aluminum Heatsink Supports by Richard Orozco

After 8 months of enduring the obnoxiously noisy fan of my CanaKit case, I decided to jump onto the Argon One case. The Argon One solves some storage problems. Raspberry Pi 4 for example, cables coming out different sides of the board, a temperature choke and the lack of an adjustable fan speed. The components of the kit were packaged very well and the instructions were easy to read. During assembly I had to cut one of the silicone thermal pads. The argon could improve quality control a bit to make sure the pads are the right size. After first booting into the Argon One case, I noticed that the fan made an annoying rattling noise that went away after playing with the fan for a while; Since then the noise has not occurred again. A future version of this case may use a larger, higher voltage fan powered by a 5V power system. This results in absolutely silent operation. I also wonder if even cooler temperatures can be achieved by increasing the ventilation of the magnetic GPIO cover. These are small suggestions for improvement on an incredibly well designed kit. Now my desk is tidier as all cables come out the back, the fan is quieter than on the CanaKit, and the Pi runs about 10 degrees Fahrenheit slower than in the CanaKit case! I am so impressed and highly recommend the Argon One.
