MakerFocus Raspberry Pi 3 Case with Cooling Fan and 3.5 inch Display Slot - Compatible with Raspberry Pi GPIO, Suitable for Raspberry Pi 3B, 3B+, 2B, 2B+ Review

It has everything you see in the picture. Includes 3 heatsinks, 1 28mm fan and 1 black case. At the time of writing this review, this is the cheapest Raspberry PI 2 and 3 case kit with heatsink and fan on Revain. It also works for my Raspberry Pi 3, although "activity LEDs are disabled". ** Control stress test: CPU temperature. 64°C @ 23°C indoors (147°F @ 73°F indoors) for 10 minutes with case, heatsink, and fan installed Cooler @ °C with fan and heatsink installed Cons - Fan connector may…

I've always been fascinated by the Raspberry Pi and I have to admit I'm looking for reasons to buy and use one. The last project is to create a google display calendar for my kitchen one day. I recently bought it to set up a Homebridge hack to get non-Apple HomeKits like Nest, products that work with iOS and HomeKit. If you want to do this, I recommend HOOBS as your method. It works very well. Anyway, once I got everything working with the CANA KIT Raspberry Pi I bought a few months ago, I…

I like everything about this set except the fan. It's too loud. I am using this for a Kodi media center and the fan is great for cooling but can also be heard in a closet. If there was an easy way to slow it down a bit it would probably help, but that little fan is already making way too much noise. Otherwise this set would have gotten 5 stars. I'll probably buy a slightly larger and slower fan (probably a Noctua 40x20mm 5v model) and modify the case a bit to make it fit. The main reason I…

As other reviewers have reported the board mounting holes are misaligned - they are too close to the case on the side of the GPIO board. This will prevent the cover from fitting properly at the end with USB connectors. But I bought this case because it was the only metal case I've seen with mounting tabs. and i love challenges. I only used one screw to secure the board: the one next to the microUSB power connector. This allows the board to rotate around this screw and you can align the other…

This cover is "good". It's plastic - good if you're using the built-in Wi-Fi and all the cutouts are in the right places. If you want to use the included heatsinks this will do, but I wanted to use some heavier copper heatsinks. This caused me a problem with the chip at the bottom because the heatsink was too deep. I had to use a dremel to drill a hole in the vent at the bottom of the case. Not that bad. What's even more annoying is that the included fan isn't convincing, but was at least…

I love this cover! I tried two cases before, both are clear. While I love the look of transparent cases, I wanted something with a fan because this device will be my primary media player (Kodi) and retro arcade emulator (RetroPie). The heatsinks are very efficient, the fan is easy to install and quiet, and the case snaps in perfectly. I'm using a Pi 3, but as far as I know it fits either a model 2 or a model 3. A tip about the fan header: I've seen comments about the risk of shorting adjacent…

: If you can find another fan for this case, I recommend you to do so. I've had 2 cases and both fans started making horrible noises over time. Although everything else is worth it. I was looking at heatsinks and fan housings and this one caught my eye. I never buy products without reviews but I found the price very affordable and the quality looked acceptable but I was happy to say the quality of the plastic is better than I expected and I appreciate the three heatsinks that be supplied with…
