The case assembles around a Raspberry Pi 3 Model B quite well, and you are able to use the included thermal pad to maintain contact between the heat sink pillar on the case and the processor on the board. + Excellent access to all ports/connections (but see CONS below) + Reasonably easy assembly (see CONS below) This case uses passive cooling (silent) as opposed to active cooling (potentially noisy fans). + Works very well to control temperature of the processor (see the 1337Ninja review of this item). + Good looking case, looks quite commercial/professional. With the standard case and heatsinks, it would occasionally get to about 170F (76.6C), and would throttle down the processor. The highest I've seen is about 130F (54.4C).
I periodically check the temperature in "Settings/System Information/Hardware". I can tell that the case is working because it gets warmer than if it isn't turned on. Since installing the RPi into this case, I haven't seen that icon. Every now and again I would get the "Overheat" icon. Previously, I used only the small heat sinks that came with the kit. As a result, when in use the Raspberry Pi works quite hard. I run LibreElec on my Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+, and connect to video, music, and image shares on my home network. It looks quite good, and acts as a passive heat sink for the processor. I bought this to hold my Raspberry Pi 3 B Media Center for a couple of reasons. Overclocking is also possible with this case. I would recommended this to everyone wanting to run retro gaming, media, etc. I used the 1.5 size and it fits really snug which I like.īelow are stress tests that I ran with CPU Burn (the most stressful test for a CPU) at the normal 1.2GHz clockspeed.Ĭase + Fujipoly + Fan (Pushing Air Into Case) CPU Burn Stress TestĬase + Fujipoly + Fan (Pulling Air Out) CPU Burn Stress TestĪll in all, I can say that I am extremely pleased with this case! No cons for me at all! I replaced the thermal pad that came with the case with a Fujipoly Ultra Extreme XR-m Thermal Pad (17.0 W/mK) for better thermal conductivity from the CPU to the case/heatsink. * Defined cutouts for the USB ports and Ethernet * Better ventilation at the bottom (holes rather than slits) Here are the improvements over the Gen1 Case:
#FLIRC RASPBERRY PI 4 CASE UPGRADE#
We know you will love the attention to detail we put in throughout the case.I loved the Gen 1 Flirc Case (made for rpi2) and had to get this upgrade when I saw it! GPIO pins are accessible through the slot on the bottom of the case and there is no need for disassembly to get to the SD card. In addition to the built in heat sink, small ventilation slots on the bottom help keep the Raspberry Pi cool. We included rubber feet to raise the enclosure so it just hovers underneath your television. It only takes seconds to drop your Raspberry Pi into it’s amazing new home and show it off on your counter top. Supplied with the case is a thermal pad and 4 screws for the simplest Raspberry Pi case assembly on the market. We wanted to ensure we didn’t sacrifice form over function, so we used the aluminum housing of the case to provide a built in heat sink. This is the first affordable Raspberry Pi case made out of aluminum. But once it’s out of your hands, it blends in with your entertainment system. Our case is made of a beautiful aluminum core heat sink that is sandwiched between two black, soft touch shells that feel amazing in your hands. We will ensure our case is adjusted to fit the latest Raspberry Pi specifications.
The perfect home for your new Raspberry Pi 4.
