Review on πŸ”₯ GeeekPi Raspberry Pi 4 Case with ICE Tower Fan - RGB Cooling, Heatsink, and Model B Compatibility by Robert Ogrodnik

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Case and cooler not compatible

Very simple and SMALL print out of the cooler assembly instructions, none at all for the case and no instructions how to assemble the cooler and case which is a big problem as they have to be assembled as a unit unit as 1 part of the housing has to be assembled around the bottom of the radiator. The cooler completely interferes with the use of the RAM module heatsink, so the RAM cannot be cooled. The case interferes with the use of a heatsink on a USB chip, so it can't be used either. Also, the case doesn't erase the pins under the GPIO pins, nor the capacitor or resistor near the micro SD card reader. I tried modifying the body for release which BROKEN it but gave the required release. Finally, the screws and spacers that come with the cooler cannot be used with the case, and the ones that come with the case are SO small in diameter that they will break the case if hand tightened! I am VERY dissatisfied with this system and will NOT use it on my Raspberry Pi 4B as it simply DOESN'T WORK!

Pros
  • Very impressive
Cons
  • Update available
