Argon One Case with Cooling Fan for Raspberry Pi 4 | Includes 5.25V/3.5A Power Supply | Aluminum Heatsink | Power Button | Supports Retro Gaming, Movies, and Music

Excellent case for the RPi4. I would highly recommend this case.

Ive tried a few and this is far the best pi 4 case out there.

I wanted SO much to like this case. It looks fantastic; its ideas are a step above most cases (daughterboard to get all ports on one side; power button on case; passive and active cooling; etc). I just really really wanted to like it. However ... it just doesnt work. Tried repeatedly to get it working, but nothing. If you get a unit that works, its probably an awesome case for you. For me, it didnt work, and Ill move on to a different case. Pros: * aesthetic design * functional design * features Cons: * daughterboard ports dont line up quite perfect with case cut-outs (not a huge deal, as they still worked, but it just doesnt look quite right) * it doesnt work. nope. nada.

The case is great. However, it is very clear that there is no quality control performed on the board used to relocate the ports. I say this because the one I received had a huge gob of solder across all the pins of mini hdmi0 port and right next to the gob of solder was a quality inspection sticker. Even the most basic inspection would have caught this; so, the inspection sticker was almost humorous. Once I de-soldered the gob, the board worked fine. However, it made it very clear that the inspection process used on these boards is a joke.

I watched tons of video reviews before buying the Argon One for my Raspberry Pi 4 and it truly does everything its supposed to. I use my RPi to crunch COVID protein models in Rosetta and it keeps my RPi at 55C at 100% load. It looks great. The fan emits a pretty high pitched whine when its running even at 10% but its very small so I dont expect silence. Overall its great. If youre on the fence, take the plunge!

Using as possible desktop alternative. stays cool while maintaining access to the GPIO for projects.

Its a really innovative design and goes together so simply. Very impressed.

I am very impressed by how well thought out this is...except for one thing which is enough to knock off a star. The micro SD card can only be inserted when the case is on. This means it must be removed in order to take off the case. However this is near impossible to do because there is no room to grip the SD card to remove it. I had to use a knife to push at it at an angle with the case supporting it from the other side to finally remove the thing. But the other features of this case put it ahead of the other offerings that if I ever in the market for another one, Ill probably be coming back to this one.

This thing is SOLID and downright AWESOME! It makes my Pi4 setup look legit when Im on the go. Almost gave it 4 stars though simply because I could not get the install script to work properly with my Kali OS build, even with scripting tweaks it crashed. Easy fix though, just installed all my tools inside Raspbian and its all good!!!

I over clocked my retropie using this case. the fan never comes on, thats how cool it keeps it. I tested to make sure the fan works, it does.
