Raspberry Pi 4 Metal Case for Low-Profile CPU Cooler

I overclocked my RPI4 to 2mhz. The cooler keeps the temps low, and the case makes the RPI4 look like a mini PC. The case is excellent. Instructions are a little unclear, and the pi is only fastened on one side, but seems very secure otherwise. The Cooler works well. Very happy with my purchase, form and function.

Overall a great buy, a combo including the low profile cooler with fan and case at a cheaper price would make more sense. The case is not made for the low profile cooler, it is made to fit the high profile cooler but you can use it with the low profile cooler too so don't expect it to be any lower, which I did. Does it work? Yes, and great, the fan at 3v is very quiet, I you have to put your ear next to it to hear something, to me that was the main concern. At 5v is a little louder but still good. Does it keep the Pi cool, yeah, very. Assembly was a pita, mostly due to the poor metal used on the screws and the thread job they do on these cases. i would include 4 standoff mounting points instead of the two that comes on the case bottom, the Pi hangs on two retention points, if you move it a lot, toss it around or drop it it might break the board at those points. Would I buy it again, yeah but at a reduced price.

The case is 100% metal and very solid build that assembles in two parts. It should be ok for ventilation. My heatsink has a fan anyway (sold separately).Wish To See: less screws to put it together; more openings for extra ports if needed (e.g., this case will not work if you install a heatsink with upper and under plates).

This case is made of steel and is quite sturdy. It also has a ton of room for either cooling devices or hats for your Pi projects. That said, the screws leave a lot to be desired - they strip easily and even their threads are quite weak, so be sure not to over-tighten them or they'll likely just start spinning freely in the holes.

Great case and it can fit Pi with multiple hats installed. I was trying to install PoE HAT and fan HAT, so fan works based on the CPU temperature and not "always on" and once the boards were connected - I realized there is no case to fit it in. After searching through every possible case available - this appeared to be the only one which could fit everything in.

Upon first inspection, I was not amazed by the product, but I felt it was worth the $15. It came assembled, but there was a small screwdriver in the box.It is two pieces of metal that have been formed into the shape of a box and are attached to each other with 8 screws. As I started removing the screws from the bottom, I could feel the metal being removed from each screw. Metallic dust spilled onto my work space and I could see tiny flecks of paint flying away from the screw hole with each twist. In the end, all four came out.There are four more screws in the top of the case. The first three came out with the same bit of effort as the initial ones. Unfortunately, the head of the last screw crumbled with a single twist of the tool. I made contact with the screw head once more until it felt like there was enough resistance to try again. This time even more material came loose. The last screw turned only enough to no longer be flush in the case. It was clear I was not getting in.Clearly, my experience was ruined by one bad screw, but I have a few other thoughts.1. Even without the failed screw, I feel like this is not a case that will last through repeated assemblies.2. The two pieces of metal started to spring apart from each other as each screw was removed. This may be what caused the last screw to bind up and ultimately fail.3. The protection provided from this case would be very specific to drops and things being dropped on it. It is open to the environment.4. It more or less looks like what you are getting from the pictures, but the feel you get once you put your hands on it is a completely different experience.I would have liked to get inside and at least dry run my Pi 4.

Great raspberry pi 4 case and easy to assemble. Made of metal, very good quality.

Came in box with screws and heatsinks. Just taking out the screws it's apparent that these were torqued in way to tight. One screw stripped on removal. Also trying to mount my Raspberry pi to the 2 mounting points on the inside of the case I found that the screws provided are too long and on screwing them in dislodged the mount point from the case bottom causing it to spin free. Further examination of the mount point shows signs of rust from the bottom of the case. This says one of two things the case is not carefully put together and the location of manufacture is obviously highly humid meaning the components have been allowed to sit without being painted before assembly. This is a low quality case further demonstrated by the poor bending of the top and the external ports for the pi are recessed when mounted after the top has been put in place. I would not recommend buying this based on the current product quality and fit.
