Featuring a fanless passive cooling system with a copper heatsink and multiple thermal pads, it ensures efficient heat dissipation while maintaining silent operation. Its sturdy aluminum alloy construction offers robust protection and excellent thermal conductivity. Easy to install and providing full access to all ports, this case is ideal for professionals seeking a sleek, reliable, and quiet cooling solution for their Pi projects. ## Description Product Description Review: Surprisingly effective - Bought this for a Pi 4 running ADS-B. Almost as effective at cooling as a case fan but obviously silent. Easy to mount, nice and sturdy feel and really does keep the Pi at an acceptable operating temperature. Review: Excellent cooling, and complete protection for your rapi - Probably the best no nonsense cooling solution for your raspberry pi compute modules, completely passive cooling that easily keeps up with the heat generated by the processor and other parts. Unlike some other solutions the entire board is enclosed neatly and professionally, whilst not blocking cabling access to the i/o breakout header, sd card slot, and standard ports. 2 part assembly with four screws, made from what seems to be cast aluminium and comes with an assortment of heat transfer pads which where easy to select and install. whole assembly can be done in about 5 mins flat, and is about as easy to do as its possible to be. At idle running temps reduced down to 10c above ambient from 20c above ambient when no cooling is used on a raspberry pi 3b, which I consider to be a pretty decent result all in. No overheating and thermal throttling has been experienced with this case installed. Certainly well worth considering, does the job well, robust and neatly made. ## Features - 【Pi 4 Aluminum Case】Compatible with Raspberry Pi 4 Model B(8GB/4GB/2GB/1GB) - 【Passive Cooling Design】Don't need extra fan, heavy dute case with eight of 174g, with 4 built-in Heatsink Pillars for better heat dissipation - 【Better Cooling Solution】equipped with a copper heatsink, can replace the thermal pad at the CPU with the copper heatsink, and attach proper silicone grease (not included) on two sides of copper heatsink to get better heat dissipation - 【Material】Aluminum Alloy, efficient thermal conductivity - 【Packing List】1 x Raspberry Pi 4 Case, 8 x Thermal Pads(4pcs for backup), 1 x Copper Heatsink, 1 x Screws Pack ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07ZVJDRF3 | | Antenna Location | In door use only | | Best Sellers Rank | 4,320 in Computers & Accessories ( See Top 100 in Computers & Accessories ) 27 in Computer Cases | | Brand | Geekworm | | Brand Name | Geekworm | | Case Type | Raspberry Pi | | Case type | Raspberry Pi | | Colour | Black | | Compatible Devices | Raspberry Pi 4 Model B | | Cooling Method | Heatsink | | Country of Origin | China | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 3,373 Reviews | | Enclosure Material | Aluminium | | Hard Disk Form Factor | 3.5 Inches | | Internal Bays Quantity | 1 | | Item Dimensions D x W x H | 9D x 6.5W x 3.3H centimetres | | Item Weight | 0.19 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | Geekworm | | Manufacturer Part Number | TB-2019-38-1 | | Material | Aluminium | | Model Name | Raspberry Pi 4 Model B | | Model Number | TB-2019-38-1 | | Motherboard compatibility | Mini ITX | | Number of Fans | 4 | | Other Special Features of the Product | Passive Cooling | | Power Supply Mounting Type | Bottom Mount | | Recommended uses for product | In door use only | | Supported Motherboard | Mini ITX | | Total USB 2.0 Ports | 2 | | Total USB 3.0 Ports | 4 | | Total USB Ports | 4 | | Unit Count | 1.0 count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Geekworm - **Case type:** Raspberry Pi - **Colour:** Black - **Cooling method:** Heatsink - **Item weight:** 0.19 Kilograms - **Material:** Aluminium - **Model name:** Raspberry Pi 4 Model B - **Motherboard compatibility:** Mini ITX - **Power supply mounting type:** Bottom Mount - **Recommended uses for product:** In door use only ## Images ![Heavy Duty Passive Cooling Aluminum Case for Raspberry Pi 4 (P173) | Fanless, Silent Metal Case, with Heatsink Pillar, CPU Copper Shim, Durable - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61VHDcJZNWL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Can anyone confirm whether WiFi/Bluetooth radios are affected by installing in an all metal case?** A: Hi, The metal / aluminum case will definitely have a certain impact on wireless / bluetooth, and we found that the level of interference is also related to the individual Raspberry Pi. If your Raspberry Pi is usually subject to a lot of interference, it is recommended to use an ABS case or wired Ethernet to be more stable. Regards, Geekworm **Q: I need to put 4 rpis in a case. is there any way to screw/secure these down to a base plate? a glue that will withstand the heat? drill through? ta** A: I’ve used heavy duty Velcro to attach mine to my 3D printer and the back it the TV this has worked without issue for months. **Q: Whats the difference between the various p models? e.g. p173 vs p2332 etc** A: Hi, 1. P173, P273, P232 are all compatible for Raspberry Pi 4 8GB/4GB/2GB, and the compatible interface functions are also the same. P252 is compatible for Raspberry Pi 3B+/3B. 2. Let's talk about P173, P273, P232 P173 and P273 are the same, but the colors are different. P173 is black and P273 is silver. P232 is different from the two of them in appearance, and the weight is about 30g lighter than them. Regards, Geekworm **Q: Can you use thermal paste instead of thermal pads ?? thanks.** A: Hi there, Yes, you can replace the thermal pad with copper sheet(thickness is about 0.1-0.2cm), and then use thermal grease, in this case the heat dissipation effect will be much better.

Almost as effective at cooling as a case fan but obviously silent.

I used the thermal pads to cover the parts on the Pi and it's doing a great job. Running stress for ~10 minutes and it kept the pi temps very reasonable (upto 54C when the pi can operate higher than that). Running a compile on it for some connected ESPHome kit and the temps are sitting at 40-45C. It's solid, sturdy, looks great, easy to assemble and not overly expensive. Doesn't cause issue with any connections.
