Review on Geekworm Raspberry Pi 4 Case by Catherine Maldonado

Revainrating 5 out of 5

So Far So Good in Computer Components

After the Raspberry Pi 4 was released, I realized it would be a good device for some of my projects. When it comes to finding a case, I always buy clear and black zebra cases from C4Labs. However, the Raspberry Pi 4 packs so much processing power into such a small package that it requires significantly more cooling than previous versions; For this reason, C4Labs does not currently offer a Zebra case for the Pi 4, which also lacks a fan. I decided to try this case as it avoids the need for a fan by using the entire case as a heatsink. . Before I bought it, I read some reviews claiming that the manufacturer didn't supply enough heatsinks to connect the processor to the case. Having used this case, I believe this is not true. Now that my Raspberry Pi 4 is up and running, I can touch the case and feel it getting quite warm, suggesting the strips are good at dissipating heat. Overall I'm very happy with this case and I'm glad this fanless option is available. Since it doesn't have a fan, I have access to all GPIO pins, the device is quiet, and I don't have to worry about the fan breaking. As with the rest of my Raspberry Pi, I can build, install and forget about it. If heat is ever a factor, there's nothing stopping me from placing the device in front of a fan. After all, the case is a heat sink. I recommend this case to anyone who wants to use their Raspberry Pi 4 without having to deal with a fan. My Pi 4 runs 24/7 and I haven't had any problems so far.
