Review on Micro Connectors Aluminum Raspberry Pi 3 Model B B+ Case With Fan And Heatsinks - Red by Marcus Hardin

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Significant WLAN signal attenuation due to aluminum housing

Very robust housing with a well thought-out design. The fan works well, is easy to mount and the case itself acts as a passive cooler. I use this case with a raspberry pi 3 b+ running in retro pie mode, overclocked and even running some demanding games on n64 or playstation the system and case never get hot or feel also only warm. However, the biggest downside of the aluminum body is the degradation of the Wi-Fi signal, and when you try to play online or update your device over Wi-Fi, the speed and connectivity suffer badly. If you're using this case, I'd recommend connecting the device to your router with an Ethernet cable or plugging your Wi-Fi adapter into a USB port when attempting to update your software or cheat database.
