Raspberry Armor Metal Aluminium Heatsink Review

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…

First, the case works right out of the box, I was able to overclock my Pi and keep it freezing. BUT; The fan they include is pretty awful, it's a dual 25 x 50mm fan. Judging by the photos of user reviews, some are separate, others are a single unit, in any case, it is very difficult to replace, and judging by the reviews, it has a very high failure rate. After a few months the fan started making more and more noise, I could tap the fans and get them to stop for a while, but as the months went…

So 1. As a protective case, it's really amazing. Note, however, that the SD card cannot be accessed once you put the case on. However, it comes with two sets of thermal tapes which actually work great as I had no trouble installing the first set. The only thing I would call a "complaint" in this case is the inability to adjust it for anything. You will need longer screws for the bottom if you also want to mount it on a larger case or bracket to place it somewhere else depending on your use…

Pros - It supports RPi 4 in a "cool" stable situation. Mission accomplished. Cons - During installation, the thermal tape is so small that anything can tear it into small pieces, in threes, provided none were left intact during installation. I thought that after a little heat the parts would collapse into a single piece and do their job, I don't really care. You need to be very patient and careful with the tape. Now, after installation, the sound is almost silent, which was a very unexpected…

Good concept, poor execution. First, thermal tape is junk. You cannot remove the backing without tearing and tearing it unless you use a knife to scrape away the thin layer with the backing attached. Second, I didn't even have a day when it worked and one of the fans had already started humming, similar to a bearing problem or imbalance. Pros: Nice solid aluminum blocks, fairly easy to follow instructions Cons: All other components are inadequate and low quality I explained politely that I have

I have a Pi3 running plane detection software in my garden shed in South Texas, so you can imagine the ambient temperature is pretty hot. I couldn't have run it 24/7 for the last year if I hadn't had the exceptional chassis/heatsink I bought from iUniker here at Revain. When I finally got the Pi4 for Christmas and found that even indoors and idling, in the official Pi Foundation case, it was running at 76°C (168°F) and the WiFi kept dropping out, I knew it was the Time was to buy another this…

UPDATE: My customer couldn't wait extra time to replace Revain's Mazerpi. One of Mazerpi's competitors has an identical product that Revain can ship next day (Wednesday) so I ordered it and canceled the Revain replacement. here until the next day (Thursday). That wouldn't work for my client. I added a star for good customer service. Incidentally, the competitor's product ran smoothly. ORIGINAL: I love this product. Judging by the reviews, it looks cool and works well. What this Pi 4 case lacked
