Review on Cooler Master Aluminum Raspberry Built by Russ Montgomery

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Excellent work. best in computer cases

The case itself is made of high quality materials, the main attraction for me was the vesa mount and the fact that I didn't have to use a fan. I also really like the cooler core products and case design. The cooling system is good (no fan). My Raspberry Pi 4 is overclocked to 2000 and I got readings between 38 and 43 degrees Celsius in standby. Not bad. Before that I had multiple heatsinks and a somewhat large fan and got 35 degrees Celsius. I have to say I didn't use thermal pads, I used thermal paste. I was concerned about a gap between the CPU and the aluminum core, but the core sits perfectly on top of the CPU (so no gaps, if you want to use thermal paste do so)

Pros
  • External components
Cons
  • No power
