Review on 🌬️ GeeekPi Raspberry Pi Cooling Fan and RGB ICE Tower Cooler with Heatsink for Raspberry Pi 4 Model B, 3B+, and 3 Model B by Jason Camarillo

I can't believe I bought a cooler with RGB lighting but here it is. Like everything on my computers, when I actually sit in front of it now, it needs to be running some sort of distributed processing application, like old Seti. I'm using 100% of the available processors 85% of the time. The color is meant to indicate temperature, and it's all blue and green. I just checked the temperature sensor in the Pi and it reads 47 C. Sounds pretty good to me. The mount is interesting. The semi-transparent plastic panel is held under the motherboard with screws that attach to the end caps on the top of the motherboard. Two oddly shaped pieces of metal are attached to the bottom of the tower and can be positioned in a variety of ways. For example, I mounted one tower in what I believe to be the "standard" position, which leaves the GPIO pins wide open, and rotated the other in the opposite direction to allow the camera ribbon cable to run forward or reverse pins. accessible. These pieces of metal have holes on the ends that fit onto the threaded posts and are held in place with small nuts. The tower comes with an extra leg, a screw for the bottom plate and a nut for the top leg. It also includes three small "thermal pads". I wasn't thrilled and didn't want to stack them on top of each other to get good contact but then I had to remove the tower from a Pi that had to be returned and saw that it had compression indentations between the CPU and the base. Tower. Incidentally, the floor is not a miracle of tolerance processing. The heat pipes were not completely flush with the metal block that formed the base, but I could see imprints on the liner not only for the heat pipes but also for the outline of the block. Like I said - 41C at 85% full load for 24/7 so I'd say it did the job (this is for the one that was removed and reinstalled with a fresh thermal pad).
