Review on Micro Connectors Aluminum Raspberry Pi 3 Model B B+ Case With Fan And Heatsinks - Blue (RAS-PCS04-BL) by Jonathan Unruh

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Excellent active cooling for Raspberry Pi 3A

Suggestion: I was building a Raspberry Pi based media console and was planning to mount it on the back of a TV. I was concerned about radiant heat from the TV so I needed an active cooling case for the Pi. What's in the Box: This little case and its accessories (adhesive thermal synchronizers, rubber feet, etc.) came in a neat little box. Great minimalistic and easy to open packaging. Fit: This guy was built specifically for the Pi 3A+ and the fit and finish is perfect. I ordered the black model and it has a nice matte black powder coat finish. This case with the Pi 3 installed is an attractive package that wouldn't look out of place in a home entertainment console. makes an annoying "tik-tik-tik" noise. The bottom of the case may wobble a bit when you put the cover on to keep the wires away from the fan to prevent this. Pros: Small cheap active cooling at a great price. Fan power cable when you put the cover on the case. Ugly: nothing. That's a good shell. Bottom Line: My Pi 3 is attached to the back of my TV and safely housed in this attractive, functional case. I would definitely buy this case again.

Pros
  • 40mm fan and heatsink kit included
Cons
  • Damaged
