iUniker Aluminum Raspberry Pi 4 Case with Passive Cooling and Heatsink Cooler - Compatible with Raspberry Pi 4 Model B (8GB/4GB/2GB) Review

So this heatsink/case will probably work for you under normal conditions, but it burned out when tested with CPUBURN. reach temperatures of over 80 degrees. It was so hot I could only keep my hand on the suitcase for a few seconds before I had to take it off. To see how much I could cool the case and Pi, I took out a USB fan and brought the temperature up to 65 degrees. I didn't want the fan to be running so instead I decided to add a 1-2-3 block of steel on top and it helped dissipate the…

Pros - Machined aluminum feels solid Fairly easy to assemble No moving parts Cons - Included thermal tape falls apart, had to use thermal paste from a previous multi-component PC The CPU keeps getting hot on the Pi even after replacing the cover

"sensors" had my RPI 4B at 48 degrees C while my Miuzei fan case was running at 33 degrees C. I disassembled the case and the radiator band was where it should be. Nice experiment, but now I'll see if anyone has or will build a true convection-cooled enclosure like the old stereos.

I am using this case for a Raspberry Pi 4 running the DNS Pi-Hole Black Hole. It's attractive, well built and easy to mix and match. The Pi hole doesn't put as much stress on the Pi, so my system only gets to 41 degrees and the case only feels slightly warm. I will buy another one and use it for my Raspberry Pi with the Volumio music server package. On the back and on the side of the case there are slots for a monitor and a GPIO cable. I don't need access to the GPIO pins or the monitor header…

This case is great for passive cooling. The best thing I like about this case is that it makes contact with the CPU, RAM, PSU and one other thing that I don't remember. Most other passively cooled cases only make contact with the CPU and RAM. In the height of summer, when outside temperatures are around 30-33 degrees Celsius, this case will keep the Raspberry Pi below 50 degrees (45+). in winter it falls below 40 (30+). I never stress tested this passively cooled case as I'm pretty sure…

After watching YouTube videos and thermally testing the Raspberry Pi 4, it became clear that I needed a cooling case. I didn't want a fan case. Fans are noisy and cheap little fans don't last long or start to rattle. So I chose this passive case. I'm not a gamer or power user, so I didn't do any torture testing. After reading reviews on this case and complaints about the worthless thermal tape, I bought a jar of silver thermal paste. Good decision. The tape fell apart and when I tried to remove

Excellent heat dissipation. I ran some stress tests with "stress" and "glxgears" on the system, but not once did the CPU temperature go above 60C. The Pi 4 has a hard throttle drop point at 80C, but starts throttling a little at around 60C. I'm using another aluminum heatsink on my Pi 3 but it goes up to 75C under heavy load. The body looks really nice. Tolerances are pretty tight - much better than any plastic case I've seen. The case I received has small scratches on the edges between the two
