Review on πŸ–₯️ SainSmart Raspberry Pi 4 Case: Premium Aluminum Alloy Enclosure with Dual Cooling Fan for Raspberry Pi 4B Model B (Black) by Neil Biondo

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Works with small delays.

The aluminum case/heatsink is very solid and they did a good job with the anodizing. Only four M2.5x8mm screws are used for attachment, aligned with the holes in the Pi. One of my only complaints is that the two fans that come with the unit are quite fragile and I had to return/replace the first one I ordered because the fans didn't work. I've since upgraded to 25x25x10 fans with dual ball bearings. I haven't overclocked the CPU, but with normal use (with remote server for CNC machine, HDMI display, 4ch relay and OLED) it maintains a core temperature of 29-32C. Overall it seems to be quite durable. My only other complaint is that the GPIO workspace is a little cramped and doesn't allow for a T-Cobbler ribbon cable to connect it to the breadboard.

Pros
  • Customized: Made of aluminum alloy, customized for Raspberry Pi 4B, durable and never fade.
Cons
  • Definitely a bad product
