Up to now it was quite expensive, but now it's time for something from the opposite side - costing NUMBER_TOKEN EUR radiator-housing, also known as a heatsink case, passive version It is a typical cheapo packed in a recycled paper box I haven't been able to determine a specific manufacturer, and there are probably many different versions out there with different details The box includes a two-piece case and a bag with accessories which are the screws and the hexagon screwdriver for screwing them in This case has three points of contact with the raspberry plate - it is a processor, memory and completely unnecessary anymore - the USB controller In this particular case, the thermopads were already glued to the islets, but thermopad intended for the processor was shifted so that only half of it actually touched the CPU As it turned out later, this error caused the processor to warm up to temperatures over NUMBER_TOKEN degrees higher than it should be After the first attempt, I've corrected the position of the thermopad and the test results are presented in this video are already correct The assembly is very simple and it is difficult to get confused When assembled, the Raspberry Pi board is well protected and all connectors are accessible However, you have to be careful with the GPIO, which is completely exposed at all times There is no flap as in the Argon cases and an accidental short circuit is possible In addition, the housing is quite neat and the smallest among today's tested Despite the first impression of cheapness, it does not look cheesy The stressberry test results for this case are simply amazing This is the first passive case that, after overclocking, did not reach the limit of NUMBER_TOKEN degrees. With the standard NUMBER_TOKENGHz clock, the temperature did not exceed NUMBER_TOKEN degrees To be honest in both cases the tendency is increasing, but this does not change the fact that the result is impressive There is no need to talk about the volume, because there is no fan here The transfers that have been measured are quite decent NUMBER_TOKENmbps for NUMBER_TOKENGHz and NUMBER_TOKENmbps for NUMBER_TOKENGHz Whereas something strange is happening with the signal quality, because it is respectively NUMBER_TOKEN and NUMBER_TOKEN on a scale from NUMBER_TOKEN to NUMBER_TOKEN For the first time, the signal quality for NUMBER_TOKENGHz is lower than that for NUMBER_TOKENGHz, although interestingly, this does not affect the measured throughput I assume this is similar to the case of Flirc from the presence of a thicker layer of aluminum in the path from the antenna to the access point After rotating the housing, the connection quality is close to that of a raspberry without the housing Heatsink Case is the hottest of all cases tested today When turned up, it heats up to around NUMBER_TOKEN degrees Celsius, but hey ! it's just a piece of aluminum sticked directly to the hot CPU You have to keep this in mind when touching the case with your fingers So if you have a safe place for your raspberry where it won't be in danger accidental shorting of GPIO pins, this case is a very good proposition
