GeeekPi Raspberry Pi Cooling Fan, Raspberry Pi ICE Tower Cooler, RGB Cooling Fan with Raspberry Pi Heatsink for Raspberry Pi 4 Model B & Raspberry Pi 3B+ & Raspberry Pi 3 Model B

Due to the positioning of the mounting brackets on the GPIO header, it is impossible to plug a 40-pin cable in Once the product has been installed, it can be connected to the GPIO header. We got everything set up and was able to finish the mechanical preparations, but when we went to use it we couldn't connect.

It's especially useful for overclocking the Raspberry Pi 4, so my wife is able to use it as a decent retrogame console for her. I've been building gaming PCs for more than 30 years, so she knows everything there is to know about She was so amazed when I showed her this that she said, "OMG, it's so cute"! It turns out that there's some incredible cooling power behind all the cuteness. It wasn't difficult to install the cooling fan. Included in the kit is a precision screwdriver and a plastic mounting plate you can use to mount the kit on the RP4. In general, it installed as instructed, but there was one major Instead of using stock thermal stickers, I used Arctic Silver 5. These are usually okay to use but usually inferior in quality. In order to stress test the RP4 upon assembly, I clocked it to 1. I overclocked my RP4 CPU to achieve unity. On all four cores, the processor ran at 95 GHz, the GPU at 600 MHz, and V3D at 750 MHz, and then it ran a prime number calculation. During overclocking, all four cores ran at 100% and CPU temperatures stayed between 27 and 28°C It is incredible that 30°C is still reached after several minutes. * Before anyone asks no, the RGB LEDs are not able to be dimmed Changing colors is a constant cycle. Power cables are connected to the fan only at the positive and negative polarities. all there is to Thus, if there's a chance of you overclocking an RP4, this is definitely the cooler to choose. Despite the fact that I already have another RP4 and a plan to not overclock it (what the hell am I thinking? am absolutely going to install it), and this fan will be used.

So like I said I watched eta prime's video on these hence how I found it but wow after running a stress test for over an hour with this cooler, it reached a maximum temp of 52 degrees Celsius and a base running temperature of 30 degrees Celsius The ambient room temperature for the tests is 75 degrees, so you can consider me impressed and very happy.

I love the look of the lighted fan. This is the best cooler ever! Feature-rich and works as advertised, even if the fitment is a little tight on the Pi 4 (not really a bad thing). What the real world looks like A second overclocked pi was installed. I have set the core clock to 0GHz, over voltage to 6, and the GPU clock to 750MHz. We ran Sysbench to max load on the system and with this cooler, the pi never exceeded 50 degrees. The temperature is 0 degrees Celsius. You can now run multiple projects at the same time without a problem! I would buy this item again for my next Pi. Note Because there weren't any cases available to house the pi with this cooler (at least that I could find), I 3D printed one myself.

The problem is. There's nothing better than this little thing for cooling your processor since it looks nice. There is a flaw with the design that really needs to be corrected by turning it It is impossible to put any cooling on the graphics chip because the cooling tubes stick out over it. It is an overall great product. However, I do not like the design at all.

In my case, if I am actually sitting in front of the computer right now, it is running a distributed computing program The old seti-like app for processing data. My system uses 100% of the available processors 85% of the time. I use all blue and green color schemes to indicate temperature. A temperature sensor has just been installed in the Pi and is reading 47°C. My opinion is that it sounds pretty good. There is something interesting about the mounting. Two oddly shaped pieces of metal attach to the bottom of the tower and can be arranged in different ways. A translucent plastic plate lies beneath the motherboard and is held in place by standoff screws. Standoff plugs are located on top of the motherboard. Specifically, I have one tower attached in what seems to be its default position so that the GPIO pins can be accessed from either direction while a second tower is turned the opposite way so that the camera ribbon cable can be run either way while still enabling GPIO access. Small nuts hold together these metal pieces which then fit over the threaded tops of the standoffs. *There is also an extra standoff, a screw for the bottom plate, and a nut for the top standoff included in the tower. There are also three small "thermal pads" included in the package. It didn't thrill me and I didn't want to stack these to get good contact, but then I had to remove a tower from one Pi that had to be returned and I saw that the CPU had indentations from being squeezed between the base of the tower and the CPU. I should mention that the bottom is not an example of flawless machining. Despite the fact that the heat pipes did not sit flush with the metal block that formed the base, I could see impressions of not only the heat tubes, but also the outline of the block in the pad. I have said this before The thermo pad kept 41 C at 85% load for 24 hours so maybe it was doing its job (this is for the one that was removed and replaced with a new.

On the basis of an Alex Ellis blog recommendation, I purchased this item. The Pi 4 has several potential cooling options, according to him. This works great for the small linux desktop I have in my workshop, and the graphics look great in this format. Since I installed this fan, I have not experienced any cooling issues since I first got my first Pi 4. As a general rule, I think this works The multi-faceted aspect is amazing to me It comes in a variety of colors. is not necessary to have that feature, but it makes it more appealing to look at if it is absent. In my workshop, I don't typically have a lot of noise to begin with, so the fan is quiet enough for me. In fact, I can't hear the fan at all. Despite what I said, I was only docked a star for the price. I actually wish I could dock a half star for the quality of the build because this thing is quite good. However, for a cluster of several Pis, that'd be a bit much. As it grows more expensive, the process will become much more challenging. In particular, if you factor in any other items that would be required Regardless of how you use your Pi 4, if you plan to use it as a desktop and will not attach anything to it, you should choose this option.
