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

I want to, but Im having problems. I started with my RaspPi loaded with an OS, hooked directly to power and HDMI, things worked. Then I mounted in the case. Things power on, but no display. I pulled out the PI and tried to just mount the 90-degree board and try powering on with just that board. No go, cant connect power when this board is mounted. Talked with support, they sent out two replacement boards (even though I only requested the one). With the boards out of the case, and the Pi mounted, everything works. Once I mount the boards in the case and connect the Pi, thats when things go wrong. I either have No Video but sound (most common). No Video, No sound, frequent. No sound, but video (sometimes happens). Everything works (rare). I have tried different HDMI cables, but that doesnt seem to change my chances. I wonder if the 90-degree-HDMI board needs to be pushed in all the way to work, but when mounting in the case, where the screws are, forces some pins to lose connection? Maybe, not something I can fix, though. I really like the look of the case. I like that the connections are all transitioned to the back. I like that theres access to the GPIO pins. I just really wish it worked consistantly.

There is no better Pi4 case on the market. And Ive tried ones from Vilros, Canakit...you name it. Thanks to the thermal pads and the parts of the case that connect them to the board, the heat dissipation is fantastic. My ran rarely runs at all, and when it does its nearly silent. I ordered (and received) the V2 version of this case in June 2022. A lot of the reviews here seem to be referencing V1. V1 keeps the mini HDMI ports. V2 converts them to full size.

Ive had RPis since they came out. Never liked the way the power and i/os were all over the place until this case appeared. Works great for a permanent installs. Buying another one for my garage RPi.

I have two 4Bs with 8GB. I bought the first one in a kit from another well-regarded vendor, but it wouldnt boot reliably, and then it stopped booting at all. I thought it was dead, so with heavy heart and light wallet I bought another. I swapped it into the kit and after many failures got it to boot, and then it ran for days. I bought two of these ArgonOne case/power supply packages and installed both 4Bs in them. They have booted every time and are fine. I believe the 8GB of RAM increases the inrush current beyond what the official Raspberry Pi 3 amp wall warts and the 5.1V 3.5A unit that came in my kit can provide. The Argon unit is 5.25V 3.5A, and it works every time. Now, about the case itself: It is well-designed, quite sturdy, gets the heat out, and has all the ports on the back, which is very tidy. From the front, there is a window in the base that reveals the red and green LEDs, so you can get some information about how the Pi is doing. I had put heat sinks on one of my Pis, so I had to remove them to let the case press down on the IC cases to draw the heat away. Theres also a fan. Cool! Having updated the bootloader on both boards, I dont use an SD card with either; they boot from SSDs (64-bit Ubuntu and 32-bit RasPi OS). They are both currently wired to my TESmart KVM switch (also from Amazon) along with my main computer, so all of them share my trackball, keyboard, and 4K monitor. I am a poorer but happy camper.

I like that the cooling works well and has case controls. The interface for controlling wasn’t too simple.

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

Awesome case. If your looking for a clean yet non-retro gaming look this is perfect. Fan is quiet enough and keeps pi nice and cool. Easy assembly instructions and use.

Beautiful design! Everything fits perfect and it feels like you could use the thing for a step stool or to level your refrigerator, its so tough-feeling. Only two things I could possibly knock it for: 1 - Fan is a bit noisy at full speed (but what fan isnt?) and 2 - Finish is a bit rough feeling, and discolored in some spots, but certainly nothing Id be ashamed to show!

This case is the third case Ive tried. The one acrylic case that came with my kit, the Flirc case, and now this one. By far this is the best case I have used for the raspberry pi 4 by far. Active and passive cooling with a pre-built script for fan control. I overclock cpu to 2ghz and gpu to 700mhz, not once have I reached a point where the fan has to run. I have retropie running N64, PSX, etc. The build quality is great. Installing the pi4 was a super tight fit, so I give ease to assemble a 4/5. I highly recommend this case.

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