ZkeeShop Armor Aluminum Alloy Case: Efficient Cooling Column Design for Raspberry Pi 4 Model B Review

If you're going to use the Pi 4 for computing power, you need a case with a heatsink. This strong housing (solid aluminium) has good thermal contact to all hotspots (power supply, CPU, RAM and USB3). When stress testing all four cores in a 20°C room, the CPU temperature never rose above 54°C. .Exactly what I wanted.

Very simple and efficient case for your Raspberry Pi 4. Run stress-ng (six threads) for 30 minutes on all 4 cores, the whole run used 100% CPU. The temperature never exceeded 62 degrees Celsius. The ambient temperature in the room was 27 degrees Celsius. Throttling only occurs from 85 degrees. I would say that outdoors in South Florida as long as you don't put this thing in direct sunlight it will hold up to anything you throw at it. . The included thermal tape fell apart when I tried to peel…

I have a bare Pi 4 with cooling fins that regularly hits the 80's. Works with Plex, qBittorent, Homebridge and Security DVR. Lots of CPU, USB, network and 24/7 video encoding. I plugged this case in and my Pi is now running in 52C under the couch in an air conditioned room during one of the worst heatwaves the western US has ever seen. Unbelievable! Comes with 2 sets of heat transfer gel pads, which is nice.

I really like the idea of a quiet fanless cooling case for the Raspberry Pi. This case is solid and seems to be keeping the chips cool so far. However, it is very difficult to stick thermal stickers on chips. There are no instructions. I have chosen to put stickers on the bodies of the thermal towers as access there is easier. However, tearing the paper from the thermal ribbon can damage the thermal material. After several attempts on two cases, I think it's best to first remove the white…

Easy assembly. Fits perfectly. The included thermal pad sucks. I used thermal pad from an old GPU. This durable all-metal cover disperses heat well and stays at around 52-55 degrees under heavy loads. In addition, the Pi setup looks great.
