🌀 Efficient Cooling Solution: Argon Fan HAT for Raspberry Pi 4 Model B and Raspberry Pi 3 Model B – 40mm Fan with Power Button & Software Control Review

. Not only that, but if you try to just push it in with the pins, you'll find that the screws holding the fan itself to the board are secured by a nut that contacts the stock PI CPU heatsink comes. . (I hope I didn't damage the PI motherboard itself when trying to remove the hat, which inevitably pushes too hard in this scenario.) Simply adding something to mount the device would make all the difference if this one device is a waste of time. Time and the resulting instant payoff for most…

I like it. I only had about 12 hours. I have my own 30mm fan solution that just runs at 3.3V all the time so it doesn't get as noisy as it does at 5V. I set this up with 4 temperatures and it works great. I like the software too. Really nice touch. It's not as cool as, say, a newer Pi4 heatsink with a fan, but it's half the price. One star off for missing assembly parts, which would have been nice. Luckily I had some extras but after buying 4 total I had to order additional racks. As for the…

I bought it because of the price, possible cooling and the power switch. I have it in a Pishopian HighPi case. The configuration software can be downloaded via curl and installed via bash. Contrary to what another reviewer said, the controller software (at the time of this review) only allows 3 head/fan speed configurations [vs. 4] (your choice). I can't say how good the cooling system is yet (my Pi4 runs 1750-1900 anyway) - haven't tested the combo yet. It cleans all the small radiators I…

I bought the Argon fan hat because I really like the Argon One Rasp Pi case. I bought this fan hat for another project. My disappointment is that the fan hat doesn't have the same features as a fan in a case. The Fan Hat does not have a Power On feature, although it still has Power Down, Reboot, and Hard Power Down depending on the power button sequence. So back to turning off the power with an extension cord or an extra power switch on the Rasp Pi power supply. I think he needs the supplied…

Got my first Pi a bit back, read that these Pi4 models can get a little warm. So I took the LAFVIN acrylic case that came with the Pi fan and assembled everything. Before I plugged in the fan, but after I updated and booted the system, I monitored the CPU and GPU temperatures using a command line script and found that the temperature had reached around 58 degrees Celsius. I then connected the fan to supply it with 5V and the temperature quickly cooled down to 30 degrees C. After several hours…
