Review on πŸ”₯ GeeekPi Raspberry Pi 4B Armor Case with Passive Cooling | Aluminum Case with Heatsink for Pi 4B/3B+/3B by Kyle Deel

Revainrating 5 out of 5

What is the performance difference with plastic housings

Plastic case with heatsinks regularly showed the heating icon in the top left corner, even at normal speed. In this case, hardware acceleration and overclocking is configured on the Raspberry Pi 4 8GB as follows:[pi4]# Enable VC4 V3D DRM driver via display dispmanx 128over_voltage=6arm_freq=2000gpu_freq=750 It seems rock solid and has no temperature throttling when playing Youtube videos and surfing the Internet at the same time Measure_Clock shows stable performance on a frequency of 2 GHz for a long time. A big boost to being able to use the Pi 4 as a desktop for productivity, in addition to fiddling with the device!
