GeeekPi Extreme Cooling Fan Kit for Raspberry Pi 4, Aluminum Heatsink Active Cooler for Raspberry Pi 4B / 3B+ / 3B

I had a pretty robust heatsink solution on my pi 4 running Batocera for playing retro games. I wasn't happy with temps which were around the 60 degrees mark. Fine but a little hot. As the system is running pretty hard playing games and I'm running a overclock at 1800 I needed a beefier heatsink. Swapped the old set out for this and instantly seeing a 20 degrees drop in temps under the same workload. The pi never goes above 45 degrees which is outstanding. Installation was a breeze and the noise from the fan is very low in high speed mode. The heatsink also covers all the components that need cooling like the CPU/GPU/Ram. Overall I highly recommend this as a great cooling solution for a overclocked pi 4. For piece of mind always get the biggest beefiest heatsink you can! Especially if your running your pie in a gaming set up.

Comes with thermal pads for both PI 3B and PI 4B. Cools the CPU, RAM, and both ethernet and USB controller chips. If I were to use some of the thermal pads in hte package, I could also have it cool the WiFi chip. The Pi 4B should NOT be used without cooling. Out of the box, mine ran 60+ C out of the box, in the high 70s when running something as simple as htop, and thermal throttlet to the point it became unresponsive over SSH, and downloading apt upgrades took ages. I got cheap aluminium heatsinks without a fan, but the CPU temp still kept going over 70C and throttling. With this heatsink, running 4 separate docker containers, temps in mid 40s if using the 3.3V header, or high 30s if using 5V. The heatsing fits inside the basic PiHut enclosure, but since it doesnt have ventilation holes its not the best, still keeps temps in mid 50s. (and you dont need to take heatsink off if you wanna toss the pi in a bag in the enclosure). Tiny bonus, it comes in a small Amazon envelope that fits through your pigeonhole/letterbox, so you dont have to be home for delivery.

Bought this to use with my RetroPie install, previously when running some MAME games the Pi would hit its 60 degree thermal limit and lower its clock speed, now playing the same games it does't get over 45 degrees, even when overclocked. Installation is simple, but it loses a star for coming with no instructions, although it is pretty obvious what you need to do - it's a 3B+ specific cooler, so everything is in the right place to keep the two chips cool on top, and there's a small copper heat spreader thing to stick to the chip on the bottom. I use the following overlock settings: arm_freq=1500 gpu_freq=500 core_freq=500 sdram_freq=500 sdram_schmoo=0x02000020 over_voltage=6 sdram_over_voltage=2 And ran sys_bench for 30-40 minutes to stress test it (which is waaay more than playing games on MAME does), the temperatures were mostly around the 54 degree mark, the highest I saw was 57, but only for a second then it dropped back down again. Once the stress test was finished it dropped back down to "normal" temps within a few seconds, and the heatsink never became hot to the touch throughout any of it. Fan is a *little bit* whiny on full speed, but only audible if you're listening for it - all in all, seems to do a very good job, and its nice to have a 3B+ specific cooler, rather than a generic Pi one with bits chopped off :)

This gives excellent cooling to my Pi 4, I can easily get to the GPIO pins and the camera connector.

I purchased this for my Raspberry Pi 3B+ due to an overheating issue. The item works as expected and keeps the Pi about 10ºc cooler during use. The fan is very quiet and not noticeable in general use. The instructions aren't great, but with a bit of common sense it's straightforward enough. The one issue you may notice with the pi 3 is that a small copper square is included, but there are no instructions for where to add it. I eventually found it should go on the underside where the ram chip is (see pic). The fact it includes both a thick and thin thermal sticker may also confuse some. I just went with the thicker one assuming it would hold and dissipate more heat across a greater area, and more quickly. Other than instruction issues, the product is good and working as intended.

Used this on my Pi that I use as a PiHole - it's lived in a closed cupboard for years and was always idling around 56C and above - not terrible but not great - and crashed once or twice from overheating. Long story short, put this on the Pi with the high fan setting ( Noise level not too bad, but I wouldn't want it in an open space or desk ) and it's dropped to a consistent 34C, very nice. Installation is easy, slap the thermal pad on, squish the cooler over that, and follow the product page images for where to put the wires and you're golden. It fits on my Pi no problem, though it does sit at a bit of an angle due to inconsistent heights of components.

The item is a good fit for the pi3b+ but the adhesive on the thermal pads to hold it down does not work well and the noise of the fan is far louder than i would of liked, but it does the job well despite this as long as the pi is kept horizonal and not moved.

Good quality fan that has been running for a year with no issues.

Ottimo radiatore per il Rasberry Pi4, si adatta perfettamente coprendo e dissipando il calore del processore e degli altri integrati e la ventolina, silenziosa ed efficiente, è immersa al suo interno.

Cools great, sits at 40°C on max load. Is a bit noisy though as it runs on full capacity at all times

I do not want to post a negative review without receiving some support first but I did not know how to contact support so here it goes: I received two thermal tapes for the raspberry pi 4. The Cpu tape is on good shape. The tape for memory and the controllers gave me a problem. The seal on the upside won't come off taking the glue layer and part of the strip with it. Is there anything I can do about that? Can I use one of the strips for the RPI3 as a replacement?

L'installation d'origine dans un boîtier "Super NES" n'était pas top, et le Raspberry Pi 3B avait tendance à monter en température voire à se mettre en sécurité. J'ai donc installé ce ventirad mais il m'a fallu découper la partie "range carte SD" du boîtier pour qu'il puisse s'insérer convenablement. Le ventilateur est très silencieux (en 3,3V) et la sonde oscille dans les 40/45°C en pleine utilisation ... Pour le prix, que demander de plus ?

5. Aydan sonra fan cızırtı sesi yapmaya başladı sanırım ömrü doluyor. 3v da kullanıyorum 5v daki sesinden duramadım. Sıcaklığa etkisi güzel 50 60 dereceden 35 40 arasına düştü
