> 24 hourJe connaissais déjà les boitiers Akasa qui équipaient mes Rpi 3. Cest donc tout naturellement que jai investi dans ce boitier lorsque jai migré mon Jeedom vers un Rpi 4. Niveau finition, pas grand chose à dire. Cest propre et net. On ne voit pas forcément bien sur la photo, mais le boitier est couleur aluminium (et non blanc comme on pourrait le penser) Le montage du Rpi se fait très facilement, à lenvers. Cest à dire que les vis se mettent sur la face du dessous du Rpi. Cest bien plus facile que beaucoup dautres boitiers, étant donné que cette face est toute plate, et pas encombrée par les divers connecteurs. Niveau performance, cest juste top. Je passe de 60-62°C, avec le Rpi libre cest à dire sans aucun boitier, en faisant tourner Jeedom, à 41-43°C avec ce boitier. Tout ça dans un parfait silence. Bref, je recommande +++

> 24 hourI really like the case. Its very nicely made. I really wish it would keep my overclocked Pi 4 cool, but it doesnt, hence the 4 stars. If you dont overclock or stress your Pi 4 like I do, this is the nicest looking passive cooling Pi 4 case.

> 24 hourAKASA just make really good cases and this is no exception. Quite fun to see their usual attention to detail on such a small scale for the Raspberry Pi 8GB, but it works well. Prior to fitting this case I was having instability issues from the Pi, but it has been flawless since this case was fitted. Good product, recommended.

> 24 hourCooling: I used Arctic Silver 5 between the heat transfer blocks and their corresponding recesses in the case. I also used it for the CPU to transfer block interface. I ran stress-ng and cpuburn-a53 and didnt not get a CPU temp reading above 40C. For some reason, I expected it to be higher. Ill have to recheck my methods. HDMI cable: The micro HDMI adapter was not long enough to electrically engage when plugged in, so no monitor. I suppose I could have shaved the plastic from the end of the micro HDMI connector until it worked with the stock opening - a couple of mm would have done it. Nope. I used a dremel to enlarge the opening to fit my cable. The thing has five-star cooling and a one star-fit. But it cools so well I deduct only one star. If I need another Pi case, Im buying one of these.

> 24 hourThis case is with out words the best pi case I have ever purchased. This should come standard with the Pi 4 model B kits. the only improvement I can think of with the case is the heat sink, not that it affects performance or anything, but more or less just a nit pick on my part. I wish the heat-sink made more contacts with the chips than just the major ones, as heat is circuitrys enemy.

> 24 hourThe case has a slot for a GPIO ribbon on its side, but a ribbon cannot fit the screw poles width of the case. This makes it useless for anyone wanting to connect a GPIO breakout breadboard to their device. Absolutely baffling how the case designers never anticipated that usage. Strongly recommend not purchasing this if you ever want to do anything physical w/your RPi.

> 24 hourThis solid chunk of aluminum is, to the best of my knowledge, by far the best passive cooling solution for the Raspberry Pi 4. Beats my Flirc case by > 10 degrees C!! Ive looked at probably a dozen passive cooling solutions for the Pi 4, and purchased 2 (this and the Flirc). Another thing I appreciated is the precision production - all parts fit perfectly. And all screws are the same, making assembly very easy. The only down side, like others have said, is that micro HDMI cables dont reach in far enough since the Pi connectors dont sit flush with the inside of the case. I had to trim the molding on my micro HDMI cable by maybe 1 mm, and then it worked just fine. Another potential downside is that its a bit pricey. But best in class for sure. Not exactly mass produced, so one would expect it to be a little pricey yet.

> 24 hourLooks good, heavy aluminium inside, perfect job! The best case on the market for sure! The only cons ins that it’s few mm wider that the raspberry pi, perhaps it helps for cooling But i wish it was a bit smaller although it’s not critical
