Review on GeeekPi Raspberry Pi 4 Armor Case with Cooling Fan - Premium Aluminum Alloy Case for Ultimate Cooling Performance! by Virgilio Feliciano

Pros: - Surrounds the entire Pi board - Heatsink pads cover all components that generate heat except WiFi - Thermal pads actually come with the heatsink and all components in contact - Cooling Performance is identical to other passive cases when the fan is off. Clear acrylic window improves wireless performance and makes status indicators visible. although technically it has a fan. The fan is optional and I removed mine by unscrewing the three easily accessible screws between the fan blades. Without a fan, the case is visually less appealing, but cools just as well as comparable cases with a passive heat sink. But why not choose another case specifically designed for passive cooling? Because this case actually wraps around the edges of the rPi board, preventing foreign objects from entering that could hit the edges of the Pi board. ; cpuburn-a53 and hpl didn't reach the same temperature (although I didn't tune hpl). Soc peaked at 65C and doesn't throttle. The same temperature was achieved with a passively cooled Pimoroni heatsink enclosure. The cooler has also been improved over previous models. Thermal pads now cover most heat-generating components (processor, memory, USB and Ethernet controllers, power controls). The only component not affected is the WiFi (possibly due to interference issues). Thermal pads are also much easier to apply compared to a Pimoroni case as the protective backing is thicker and easier to remove. The case has an acrylic window on the side that allows access to the micro SD and camera cable passage and allows the status lights to glow. be visible; in addition to improving the performance of the wireless network. However, it also has weird little perforations that don't seem to have any function. In addition, the plastic window rattles and does not lie snugly against the body. To solve this problem it is necessary to use an elastic material such as foam or glue.
