This <strong>anodised aluminium case for the Raspberry Pi 4<\/strong> ensures passive cooling of 10\u201315\u00b0C under full CPU load.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, not only will it protect your Raspberry Pi 4 board, but it will also provide you with the best passive cooling, as confirmed by numerous and extensive tests. It is the ideal heat sink case if you want completely silent cooling.<\/p>\n<p>It comes with a thermal pad to ensure thermal contact between the CPU and the top of the case, as well as a very useful Allen key and a set of hex screws for mounting the case.<\/p>\n<p>This heat sink case allows you to access all the ports, connectors and pins on the RPI 4. Furthermore, you can also use HATs and pHATs, provided they have a slim profile (i.e. those without bulky components on the underside), and by using a header booster \u2013 provided you take great care not to short-circuit any components on the metal top of the case.<\/p>\n<h3>Purple Aluminum Case\/Heatsink for Pi 4 features<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Anodized aluminum case top and base.<\/li>\n<li>Tanzanite Purple colour<\/li>\n<li>Heatsink fins.<\/li>\n<li>Thermal pad.<\/li>\n<li>Hex key (Allen key) and hex head screw set included.<\/li>\n<li>Access to all ports, connectors, and pins on the RPI.<\/li>\n<li>Compatible with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pilover.com\/en\/tag\/raspberry-pi-4-series\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Raspberry Pi 4<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Raspberry Pi 4 board not included.

However, you must ensure that your <strong>RPI 4 is switched off and unplugged before fitting the case.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Remove the protective films from both sides of the thermal pad. On one side you\u2019ll find a white film, whilst on the other side the film is transparent and easy to overlook. Now, attach the thermal pad to the CPU of your RPI 4 (i.e. the metal square closest to the centre of the PCB), as shown in the images below.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pilover.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/heatsink-pad-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"heatsink pad\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2186\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pilover.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/heatsink-pad-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.pilover.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/heatsink-pad-512x384.jpg 512w, https:\/\/www.pilover.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/heatsink-pad-480x360.jpg 480w, https:\/\/www.pilover.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/heatsink-pad-240x180.jpg 240w, https:\/\/www.pilover.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/heatsink-pad-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.pilover.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/heatsink-pad-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.pilover.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/heatsink-pad-373x280.jpg 373w, https:\/\/www.pilover.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/heatsink-pad-570x428.jpg 570w, https:\/\/www.pilover.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/heatsink-pad.jpg 1365w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pilover.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/heatsink-pad_-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"heatsink pad on the RPI4 board\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2184\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pilover.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/heatsink-pad_-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.pilover.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/heatsink-pad_-512x384.jpg 512w, https:\/\/www.pilover.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/heatsink-pad_-480x360.jpg 480w, https:\/\/www.pilover.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/heatsink-pad_-240x180.jpg 240w, https:\/\/www.pilover.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/heatsink-pad_-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.pilover.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/heatsink-pad_-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.pilover.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/heatsink-pad_-373x280.jpg 373w, https:\/\/www.pilover.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/heatsink-pad_-570x428.jpg 570w, https:\/\/www.pilover.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/heatsink-pad_.jpg 1365w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Bear in mind that if you attach the thermal pad to the CPU first and then to the case, it will be much easier to position it correctly. <strong>Use only one thermal pad with the Raspberry Pi 4.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Place the top of the case in position and then, holding it firmly, turn the whole assembly upside down and place the bottom of the case onto the underside of your Raspberry Pi 4.
