Review on Raspberry Armor Metal Aluminium Heatsink by Francis Vasquez

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Perfect computer components

Just put this together but so far so good. I almost didn't buy this because the reviews commented on the gap between the heatsink/thermal pads and the Pi itself. Mine has no gap (pictures may be out of order) In the first picture there is clearly a gap with no thermal pads installed (maybe bad reviews didn't install them?) In the second picture thermal pads are installed and clearly contact with no screws but only those Tackiness of the gasket holding the cover (the blue rectangle is the thermal pad circled in red). In the third photo there are screws, I don't see any visible gaps. Red arrows indicate the location of the thermal pads and possible gaps. I'm glad I bought it, it seems durable and well made.

Pros
  • Well built
Cons
  • Not bad
