Review on Raspberry Cooling Heatsinks - Pastall Acrylic for Efficient Heat Dissipation by Matt Tebow

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Defective fan (foil removed from fan)

Please send me a new fan. It's so loud it must be out of order. I have attached a video of the first launch. Update: The problem was that there was a clear plastic film left inside the fan housing. The fan blades hit this coating and made noise. Incidentally, the fan still does not work quietly. I chose to power it from the Pi's 3.3V GPIO pin instead of 5V. This reduces fan speed and reduces noise.

Pros
  • Best in class
Cons
  • Compatibility
