Review on 🖥️ Black Raspberry Pi 4 Aluminum Case by Geekworm - Heavy Duty Cooling Metal Housing with Heatsink Pillar - Compatible with Raspberry Pi 4 Model B Only (P173) by Donald Phillips

INTRODUCTION -------- Idle temperature reduced from 68°C to 44°C. I haven't done any stress testing or overclocking and don't intend to, just wanted it to run cool. PROS ------ Very high performance for a case with passive cooling. Has 4 pins that contact SOC, RAM module, USB controller and power controller. CONS------- No 5th pin to contact the network controller chip (can be fixed with a small heatsink) MINDCLOSE----------------------- ----After doing some research, including looking at thermal images of the Raspberry Pi 4, I've come to the conclusion that passive cooling is the way to go if you don't want to overclock. Interesting. MagPi wrote an article about the best Raspberry Pi case and they seemed to lack a basic understanding of heat transfer when testing. Their logic was that the colder the hull looked in their thermal imagers, the more effective it was. Source. The packages they recommended didn't even have pins to contact all the components, namely the power chip which is notoriously hot!
