GeeekPi Raspberry Cooling Cooler Heatsink Review

The cooler is obviously too much for the device. It's just as big and almost as expensive, but looks pretty cool and will keep you cool. I wish there was a way to toggle the LED as it can sometimes be annoyingly bright at night when you want your Pi to work 24/7 as a pi-hole, media server, etc.

Well first of all, as soon as I started installing the brackets, the heatpipe immediately detached from the mounting plate. The cooler doesn't even come into contact with the processor. I bent the mounting plates to slightly depress and lower the mounting position. It cools well, but I have a lot of doubts due to the fact that the heatpipe and mounting plate don't even really touch.

Raspberry Pi 4 sits under the ice tower when the cooler sits on it - there is a gap of 1 mm, due to which problems with cooling, you must kinda make the gap a little shorter than now, i need to find a solution soon, or i'll rip the thing out and send it back. I was hoping for more thermal paste contact, but it doesn't look like it. I'll have to see if I can heat up the metal mounts and make them lower for better contact

I decided to act a lot younger than me and buy a pair of these powerful coolers with RGB light effects for my Pi 4. My initial inspection when they arrived left me a little concerned that the base facing the processor doesn't look as flat and doesn't make good contact. After some fiddling, rotate the bottom supports to access either the camera slot or the GPIO. Either I'm dumber than I thought or you'll have to decide what to use after installing the tower. In any case, I choose a camera for…

My base temp with OpenELEC installed was 50C. Installed on the skin and idle about 52C. After I installed this cooler the idle temp dropped to 33 degrees. When watching movies in 4k, my temperature never exceeded 35 degrees. I have not overclocked my 8GB Raspberry Pi 4. There's really no reason to overclock it for OpenELEC. I brought this little heatsink kit for a copper heatsink. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B079FV2RH3/ I brought this little tube of Grizzly Kryonaut thermal paste…

Previously used a passive Vilros cooling shroud with a Sandisk Extreme 32GB card, default processor settings. I liked the case as it interfaced with the processor, RAM, ethernet, and USB controllers. Looks good too. It got so hot for my use that the Pi started to slow down and become unresponsive. Too bad. I added this cooler, same conditions but I added my own heatsinks to other chips as this cooler only contacts the processor. Works stably at a frequency of 1.5 GHz. Not a single problem. I've
