Review on GeeekPi Raspberry Cooling Cooler Heatsink by Mike Swanson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Nice cooler for Raspberry Pi 4 with cool RGB light effects

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 one and a GPIO for the other, and after just installing a thermal pad (it comes with three standoffs) and tightening all four nuts, it was nice to see that the base had a good one seemed to make contact. I use distributed processing software. (remember Seti at home) on all my computers and the RPI4 seemed to get very hot. I didn't take the time to take before and after temps, but the ICE towers seem to have cooled everything down by about 10F or so. The fan is quiet and I enjoyed the slowly changing RGB lighting.
