It's made of beautiful aluminum core that is sandwiched between two black, soft touch shells that feel amazing in your hands. The Flirc Raspberry Pi case was designed to not only be functional for your Raspberry Pi, but to be drop dead gorgeous. GPIO and all the main connectors are easily accessible through the bottomīuilt in Heat Sink and comes with a thermal pad and 4 screws I'm sure I'm missing something, I haven't looked at the chip they are using.The best looking Raspberry Pi case made out of beautiful aluminumĪll New Manufacturing Process with improved metal quality and design I understand it's working hard under load, but a boost and bucks should be highly efficient. I'm working on stuff, and others add their own boards to the inside of my case. One more reason, the more heatsinks I add, the less room there is for internal hardware. The one thing they do change, is the supporting chips around their own CPU, and that will most likely interfere with any built in heat sink I have. I can't afford to tool a case for every clone. Although they moved the CPU slightly from 3-4, which is why I believe we don't see many POE boards for sale at the moment.Īnother reason I don't, is because of all the raspberry pi clones. In fact, the POE board almost guarantees they wont move the CPU because they have the opening. Minor tweaks, but I can bet on them not moving it outside a nudge. That's got all the high speed busses, will require simulations, and re-qualification of external interfaces. I don't cool any other chip for a few reasons.īoards are constantly revisioned and parts are moved around.
Flirc pi 4 zip#
In a pinch, I have used mx5 and a pair of zip ties. I do not know if thermal paste + a few dots of high temp hot glue at the corners of the heat sink would work, I don't recall the temp range of the hot glue off the top of my head. Silicone thermal pads can work but ymmv, usually they "unstick" after heat cycling a bit and require some pressure to work.
Flirc pi 4 pro#
I've used K5 pro to make a first gen flirc case work happily with a pi 3b+ despite the offset and it was about 4 degrees hotter on average than the same setup with arctic mx5, but it took a lot longer to heat up to its peak temp (probably the greater surface area). k5 pro's use case is for things like voltage regulator-to-heatsink interfaces, or OEM heatpipe-to-chip solutions (like inside an iMac, where the tiny heatsink does a pretty decent job of cooling a very hot graphics card). It's not necessarily adhesive but it doesn't heat up and "slide" like most thermal grease does. There's also a product called k5-pro thats an almost foam feeling thermal gap filler - it's not quite as conductive as good paste but it's made for "pasting" irregular surfaces or gaps. If you need to take it off you can try freezing the pi with some dessicant packets, but they're cheap enough I'd just get the biggest heatsink that will fit and YOLO it. But without the case, it will reach peak temperature and throttle in only a few minutes.Īrctic makes some thermal epoxy, it's really hard to remove so be sure you really want it on there. It's not a realistic environment to have the CPU's under 100% load continuously. But I imagine the 1G and 2G versions may not get as hot.īut it's significantly better with the case. I'll see how they do in comparison along with different thermal materials. Two more come today that are new, but only the 1G and 2G version. Then I took my heat gun to it, 115C, still didn't throttle. I left it running for nearly an hour, and it gets up to a max of 83ish in 25C ambient, but never throttled once. I run a stress test, and at 100% CPU, it takes about 25 minutes before it will hit 80. And I only just got back.įor example, mine seems to run hotter idle than what I find online.
Flirc pi 4 software#
I couldn't do much testing until recently, my software would crash fairly quick. I'm about ready to say that the early hardware I got has something different about it. It's really hard to say, I got back from my trip on Monday, and have been doing a lot of testing. The best thing? The base model is only $20 $5!.ĭo you know a related subreddit? We'd love to know.
