![]() ![]() ![]() This would allow a thermal pad to be placed on each of the heatsink pillars for optimal heat transfer to the case itself. I'd love to see an all metal enclosure, like the Flirc case, with 3 heatsink pillars which is screwed fairly tight to the board. At the highest, it runs in the high 50s but normally in the 40s. Nicely made: The instructions are very clear: The fan can be run at 3volt and is almost silent. I consider this the best of the three cases. As this is tucked away behind my desk, aesthetics are not important and goes to show how additional thermal capacity, albeit crude, can help.ģ. ![]() I added ALDI hardware corner brackets ("ALDI Angle Set 4 piece" 2.99GBP) top and bottom, which although primitive and steel, brought the temp down into the high 40s, low 50s. I concluded that the case had insufficient thermal capacity (for my liking). My Pi ran up to 68deg and the case felt uncomfortably hot to the touch. It now runs below 60degC, but is a bit noisy and the fan isn't secured. It ran hot so I placed a small fan inside the case, using the existing ventilation holes. The official RPi4 case with a finned heat sink. Results of my non-scientific trial is as follows:ġ. I know that the 'experts' say don't worry, but as an Electronic Engineer, I am uncomfortable running CPUs continuously at some of the temperatures recorded in these threads. I'm most impressed with the Pi4, as a desktop replacement but am concerned over the heat issue. A most useful thread, thank you all, along with the mass of information at ![]()
