Review on πŸ”₯ Argon NEO Raspberry Pi 4 Model B Heatsink Case with Fan HAT and Power Supply - Enhances Cooling, Supports Fan, Camera, and LCD Display, Accessible GPIO and PoE Pins by Patrick Reynolds

Revainrating 4 out of 5

2nd run. in Computers and Accessories

This is my second NEO as the first one had no fan and also arrived cosmetically damaged. IMHO NEO should not be used without a fan helmet as when comparing the performance/temps with and without the fan it wasn't clear why. With no fan, I reached over 170 degrees Fahrenheit. With the fan hat on and off, I averaged 90 degrees Fahrenheit. The main problem is removing the cover during use, otherwise the heat will just roll in without escaping. I had a rough time with NEO when it hit the highest temperatures, literally frying scrambled eggs at the highest temperatures.

Pros
  • Finally bought
Cons
  • There are nuances
