The Raspberry Pi is a series of small single-board computers developed by the Raspberry Pi Foundation in the UK to promote the teaching of basic computer science in schools and in developing countries. The original model became far more popular than anticipated, getting outside its target market for uses such as automation, multimedia, robotics, IoT, and now even in IR4.0.
The official case/enclosure for the powerful Raspberry Pi, Raspberry Pi 4 Model B comes with a cooling fan and heatsink. It will keep your Raspberry Pi cool!
Note: Choose your preferred Raspberry Pi 4 Model B from the Options.
Everything is snap and fit, including the case, and the case fan; NOT a single screw or nut is needed to assemble it. Neat and nice!
It also comes with an adhesive heatsink for you to paste on the BCM2711 CPU of Raspberry Pi 4 Model B, further keeping the board cool!
Did I mention it? The cooling fan is PWM controllable from Raspberry Pi OS. By default, the fan will start spinning right after the Raspberry Pi 4 Model B is powered. If temperature-controlled fan activation is needed, some configuration is needed. Anyway, just make sure to update the Raspberry Pi OS.
Since it is PWM controllable, there is an extra wire needed besides the RED for 5V(pin 2 or 4) and BLACK for the GND (pin 6). The additional BLUE wire should be connected to pin 8 of Raspberry Pi's GPIO.
Now, using the Raspberry Pi 4 Model B single-board computer in the official case will be worry-free! Check out the following graph of temperature performance under stress-test (Stressberry) in different conditions: CPU clocking at 1.5GHz
- Red Line - Raspberry Pi 4 Model B with 3 heatsinks (CPU, RAM, and USB Controller), in the official case (Red/White), NO additional fan
- Blue Line - Raspberry Pi 4 Model B, bare board, NO heatsink, and not in any case/enclosure
- Orange Line - Raspberry Pi 4 Model B with 3 heatsinks (CPU, RAM, and USB Controller), not in any case/enclosure
- Green Line - Raspberry Pi 4 Model B WITH the only heatsink on CPU, in the official case (Red/White) and the add-on case fan
As the chart shows, the case fan will keep the Raspberry Pi cool in the official case under full load test :)
