Review on 🔥 Durable Metal Case with Effective Thermal Adhesive for Raspberry Pi 4 Model B: Stay Cool and Protected by David Carter

Excellent! Before installing this heatsink case, I compared my Pi4 to an official standard RPi4 case and 3 standard adhesive heatsinks. The best temperature I could get while benchmarking with a prime loop found on ExplainingComputers was 71C (ambient temperature wasn't measured, but it was around 22-23C at the time). Cycle 2 ran at a whopping 82C! The small heatsinks simply could not dissipate the uncontrolled thermal condition. Tired of airing the cover and not getting better results. It was slightly better with the lid closed, but not by much. Then I found this HS case which was also on display in many PI related store fronts. That's what everyone else is selling. Revain was not stopped. Comparing the same main circuit with the heatsink case gives an EXCELLENT 26°C drop compared to the official RPI4 case! The ambient temperature was 21 °C. Max. 56 °C in 2 runs compared to 82 °C before! Obviously you're giving up a little protection with this type of case, but what's on display is mostly shielding anyway; Otherwise, you are unlikely to have short circuits or problems. The GPIO pins are fully accessible if you want to add a 40mm fan or an additional board. To my knowledge this is the only truly passive solution for the Pi4.
