Review on ZkeeShop Armor Aluminum Alloy Case: Efficient Cooling Column Design for Raspberry Pi 4 Model B by Ricky Khan

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great product with a small issue

I really like the idea of a quiet fanless cooling case for the Raspberry Pi. This case is solid and seems to be keeping the chips cool so far. However, it is very difficult to stick thermal stickers on chips. There are no instructions. I have chosen to put stickers on the bodies of the thermal towers as access there is easier. However, tearing the paper from the thermal ribbon can damage the thermal material. After several attempts on two cases, I think it's best to first remove the white paper, put the tape on the case's thermal towers, and then remove the transparent plastic. Some very sharp tweezers were helpful. Judging by the photo, I don't have very good results. I can replace this material with a new thermal tape purchased separately as I was unable to obtain a replacement thermal tape from the manufacturer. If I ever have to open the case, I think the thermal material will fall apart and need to be replaced. Further details are not provided.

Pros
  • Feels good
Cons
  • Not the best
