Akasa Pi-4 Pro, Pure Aluminum Raspberry Pi 4 Armor Case, Zero-Noise Passive Cooling Rpi 4 Case, Raspberry Pi 4 Heatsink for Raspberry Pi 4 Model B, Thermal Kit Included, A-RA08-M2B

The case is well made. No sharp edges or issues with the anodization. The kit comes with proper sized pads so the CPU is making good contact with the pad and block. All the ports line up perfectly. This will decrease about 30% heat from the octopi 4 in open air. The machining is good and fit is good. It is worth the asking price.

The case I recieved had no slot cut out for access to the micro SD card. You have to put the SD card into your pi before installing it into the case. Installation involves thermal paste and pads, so changing the SD card after installation is messy. I also have the pi3 version of this case which does have SD card access I assumed this would too, but sadly it does not. Apart from the issue above it is an excellent case.

Never passed 54C overclocked to 2147mhz, 750mhz gpu and over_voltage to 6 (the highest without violating the warrenty) even under a grinding all night all core full load. Though youll want a good power supply, like the official pi4 charger, or one that supports quick charging and a short (less than 30cm) cable to meet the demand of the overclocked pi4. Amazon sent my the version with a gap for the ribbon cable, its well packaged, with thermal paste and pads, but I suggest not using the cpu cores really thin pad, instead deploy a little spare paste on the cpu die which will get better contact but might be messier if you need to access the gpio pins regularly. Had no problem with WiFi or Bluetooth range, but then, I had limited expectation of range. Id call it the best pi 4 case, but do consider buying the Pi400 which has comparably passive cooling (over a much bigger keyboard shaped case) but, if you want a tiny pretty shiny box for a pi4 which lets you overclock it a lot without having a fan, its a good one.

I dont need to open the hole for the video mini hdmi work fine for me.

Fantastic case, well built and perfect for keeping the PI cool

Beau et fonctionne très bien température inférieure à 46°C avec une température dans la pièce autour de 21°C avec Jeedom sur le RPI4 et surtout sans bruit. Facile à monter en suivant les quelques étapes du document fourni je recommande.

The case keeps my Pi from thermal throttling, but I had to cut some of the casing from the HDMI cable for it to function with my TV. The cable functioned just fine, without modification, with my monitor and my neighbors TV; I also had to modify my standard PC power switch for it to fit on the pins in the case, without a riser. Definitely recommend, if youre comfortable with a knife, and possibly still recommend otherwise!

I purchased this to replace an actively cooled case whose fan had failed. Im using the Pi4 as a Nextcloud server, DHCP & DNS server with PiHole, and as a retro gaming machine with RetroPie. This case keeps everything nice and cool without that annoying fan noise! The case has a fair bit of heft and easily takes whatever Ive thrown at it. My Pi is overclocked to CPU 2 GHZ / GPU 725 MHz and idles at 33 °C under normal loads and maxed out at 53 °C during an extended CPU torture test. The case is cast aluminium and feels a little sharp at the edges, so consider adding small rubber feet if you plan on placing this on polished surfaces. This is a *very* minor niggle for what is otherwise excellent case.

The only issue is that I had to trim the official RP HDMI cables plastic a bit as the metal around the port is fairly thick and was interfering with the connection

Pie fits in perfect. Keeps it cool. Very happy with it.
