I have tried many options (including powerful fans), but the Flirc case [1] (whole-case passive heat sink) is my favority so far and cools well enough for a 1.75 GHz overclock under torture testing (2+ GHz would crash under torture).

- mizzack 7y agoBeen a fan of those Flirc cases for a while. They do a good job and look/feel top quality.
- driverdan 7y agoHow do you use that with a GPIO cable?
- skraelingjar 7y agoThere is a small gap between the bottom plastic and metal body you should be able to get a ribbon cable through but I haven't tried it on mine.
- int_19h 7y agoThere is an even better take on the whole-case heat sink concept, although it gets pricey: https://wickedaluminum.com/products/raspberry-pi-4-standard-case-with-heat-dissipation https://wickedaluminum.com/products/raspberry-pi-4-standard-...

- IshKebab 7y agoQuite ugly if you ask me!
- blacksmith_tb 7y agoMight as well go all the way to AstroPi[1] at that rate. Though I wonder if Flir couldn't make a copper-top version for less money than either, really... 1: https://makezine.com/2015/12/01/raspberry-pi-iss/ https://makezine.com/2015/12/01/raspberry-pi-iss/
- FullyFunctional 7y agoIn which way is this "all" more than the flirc case? The Flirc case makes physical contact with the CPU and radiates heat all over the case. Don't let the black (removable) plastic top fool you - it's one solid piece the whole way.
- blacksmith_tb 7y agoI didn't meant the Flirc case so much as the machined, high-dollar one. The Flirc one looks great, esp. for $15.
