I tried it all on rpi 3. Fans, almunium, copper fins, open. I spend so much on those accessories. But everytime something was missing, fans had noise and extra voltage issues, copper and aluminium fins were unable to stabilise rpi3 temp which resulted in throttling. Then finally I tried a flirc like case which badically acted like a huge heatsink. And walla.... Completely silent, no voltage issues, no additional accesory required. And it didn't throttle even at max continuous loads. It's what everyone needs. From that time, I decided not to waste money in anything other then flirc like cases. Its best of both worlds without additional hassle.

I bought this particular 'case', and with the same benchmark, running it for 15 minutes, the CPU got to 52 C so I come to the same conclusion. (room temp around 20C). With the fans disconnected, I got 60 C at full load after 15 minutes. I was curious: at 30 minutes with no fans, the temperature rose to 63 max (again at full load). I ran this: sysbench --test=cpu --cpu-max-prime=2000000 --num-threads=4 run --time=900

As I said, no instructions. Like put the 3M sticker side on the RPi 4B first. The other side has almost no sticky-ness. I also got a FLIRC case for the RPi 3B+ and it's nice. I still haven't turned on that 3B+ or this 4GB 4B yet.

I wish you also tested the passive armor case, is has slightly more aluminium so maybe it cools the same as the one with fans? I have two of these but for the 3B/3B+ and they are amazing, 40 ºC with no noise. I just wonder how they work with the hotter 4B.

Thank you for a very good video. I have the same case and I believe the reason you see quite high temperatures is due to this being quite a solid chunk of metal. The fans can be as efficient as they want, but they are only able to cool the "outside" of the metal. I expect there would be a temperature distribution across the metal with the highest temperature towards the pi and lower temperatures on the outside. Awesome if you would be able to measure the metal temperatures to test the theory???

Before buying this Item, I read the reviews and watch this youtube video and other youtubers on this product... In every which way some who did the product reviews (timestamp 3:37) here stated this Item is a quiet fan and it's a bang for the buck.. I will like to add. I ordered this dual fan and on first use it as people say (timestamp 3:37). The fan is very quiet. However, after day three the fan is very noisy and loud. I got this item on Nov 21st 2019 and by Nov 25th 2019, I can----not take the noise anymore. If you are going to put this fan on a pi, do not put it in a place where you sleep. For me, I put mines behind my TV and at day 5 it had to go. SO everyone who posted that this fan is super quiet told the truth, because posted on the 1st day use and I will bet if they would have given it 3 to 5 days of use (on 24/7) they will have a different take. So in short, the fan works but its too loud. and I will also add if it's this loud at day 5 of use I could only imagine what it will sound like after a month. also I dare to ponder, if this fan will work and do it job in 6 month because the noise is a sign its not as fast as day one anymore. its a cheap fan and as you heard before, you get what you paid for.
