Review on Optimized for SEO: Vilros Raspberry Pi 4 Heavy Duty Aluminum Alloy Cooling Case in Black by Matt Heringer

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The beautiful case didn't cool the device properly without a heatsink interface

Update: This case was too nice to return so I canceled my return and put 3rd party thermally conductive silicone pads on the chips and case which are in the documentation indicated places. After assembly, the case cools the components much better. --------- This case did not deliver the claimed cooling without the use of "extra" thermal paste. The device still reaches "gas" temperature within five minutes under load. Maybe lube would work better, but that would be very messy on a device that's meant to be opened multiple times. Thermal pads would be a better option. However, I can't say if they would have improved thermal conductivity.
