Review on πŸŽ›οΈ Smraza Raspberry Pi 3 B+ Case with Cooling Fan, 5V 2.5A Power Supply, and 3 Heat Sinks - Enhances Performance for Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ (B Plus), 3B, 2B by John Pineda

Great Computer Components

This is an admittedly simple piece that would be easy to make with a CNC laser, but for $15 you can't beat it. I needed 2 things and got 4. Two things I needed: 1. A power supply that doesn't throttle the CPU/GPU due to low voltage2. Cooling solution that does not cause throttling due to high temperature. This case offers both of those things. I can connect to the Raspi and run Candle (CNC program) and the temperature rises to 120F. Also, the processor doesn't say it's being throttled. I couldn't throttle it before due to low power, but it still throttles due to temperature. #starting raspbarian#going throttled status. You want 0x0 /opt/vc/bin/vcgencmd get_throttled# Get temperature in Fahrenheit /opt/vc/bin/vcgencmd Measure_temp

Pros
  • Finished
Cons
  • Slightly Crumpled
