GeeekPi Extreme Cooling Fan Kit for Raspberry Pi 4, Aluminum Heatsink Active Cooler for Raspberry Pi 4B / 3B+ / 3B

This gives excellent cooling to my Pi 4, I can easily get to the GPIO pins and the camera connector.

I purchased this for my Raspberry Pi 3B+ due to an overheating issue. The item works as expected and keeps the Pi about 10ºc cooler during use. The fan is very quiet and not noticeable in general use. The instructions aren't great, but with a bit of common sense it's straightforward enough. The one issue you may notice with the pi 3 is that a small copper square is included, but there are no instructions for where to add it. I eventually found it should go on the underside where the ram chip is (see pic). The fact it includes both a thick and thin thermal sticker may also confuse some. I just went with the thicker one assuming it would hold and dissipate more heat across a greater area, and more quickly. Other than instruction issues, the product is good and working as intended.

I used this heatsink to replace the little cheap ones that i was using in conjunction with a fan and Python script that I wrote. It is easy to fit but you lost one * due to no instructions, which did not inspire my faith. I initially ran it with just the heatsink which gave an almost 10 degrees lower than previously, delightful! My PI is overclocked to 1500 Mhz so I ten played a 1080HD video and monitored the temp. It was still lower than the start temperature was previously. I then reconnected the fan but via the Python script and controller so that it would only run above a preset temperature. I am delighted with this product, but you really need to include instructions for those who are not IT professionals, the Raspberry PI is aimed at hobbyists first and foremost!

Good quality fan that has been running for a year with no issues.

Comes with thermal pads for both PI 3B and PI 4B. Cools the CPU, RAM, and both ethernet and USB controller chips. If I were to use some of the thermal pads in hte package, I could also have it cool the WiFi chip. The Pi 4B should NOT be used without cooling. Out of the box, mine ran 60+ C out of the box, in the high 70s when running something as simple as htop, and thermal throttlet to the point it became unresponsive over SSH, and downloading apt upgrades took ages. I got cheap aluminium heatsinks without a fan, but the CPU temp still kept going over 70C and throttling. With this heatsink, running 4 separate docker containers, temps in mid 40s if using the 3.3V header, or high 30s if using 5V. The heatsing fits inside the basic PiHut enclosure, but since it doesnt have ventilation holes its not the best, still keeps temps in mid 50s. (and you dont need to take heatsink off if you wanna toss the pi in a bag in the enclosure). Tiny bonus, it comes in a small Amazon envelope that fits through your pigeonhole/letterbox, so you dont have to be home for delivery.

Used this on my Pi that I use as a PiHole - it's lived in a closed cupboard for years and was always idling around 56C and above - not terrible but not great - and crashed once or twice from overheating. Long story short, put this on the Pi with the high fan setting ( Noise level not too bad, but I wouldn't want it in an open space or desk ) and it's dropped to a consistent 34C, very nice. Installation is easy, slap the thermal pad on, squish the cooler over that, and follow the product page images for where to put the wires and you're golden. It fits on my Pi no problem, though it does sit at a bit of an angle due to inconsistent heights of components.

The item is a good fit for the pi3b+ but the adhesive on the thermal pads to hold it down does not work well and the noise of the fan is far louder than i would of liked, but it does the job well despite this as long as the pi is kept horizonal and not moved.

I had a pretty robust heatsink solution on my pi 4 running Batocera for playing retro games. I wasn't happy with temps which were around the 60 degrees mark. Fine but a little hot. As the system is running pretty hard playing games and I'm running a overclock at 1800 I needed a beefier heatsink. Swapped the old set out for this and instantly seeing a 20 degrees drop in temps under the same workload. The pi never goes above 45 degrees which is outstanding. Installation was a breeze and the noise from the fan is very low in high speed mode. The heatsink also covers all the components that need cooling like the CPU/GPU/Ram. Overall I highly recommend this as a great cooling solution for a overclocked pi 4. For piece of mind always get the biggest beefiest heatsink you can! Especially if your running your pie in a gaming set up.

Da der PI 4 dazu neigt schneller warm zu werden auch bei wenig Anforderung, war meiner welcher als Druckserver für den 3D Drucker agiert schon nach kurzer Zeit bei 57 Grad CPU Temperatur. Dazu sei zu sagen er steht in der Einhausung vom Drucker wo im Durchschnitt 30 grad sind. Zuerst hab ich es mit nur passiven Komponenten versucht, leider ohne viel Erfolg. Auf der Suche nach einem Lüfter bin ich auf diese massive kühlkombi gestoßen, welche alle Bauteile/Chips abdeckt und zeitgleich via Lüfter die warme Luft wegdrückt. Montage war denkbar einfach da diese für beide Modelle bebildert bei liegt. Die klebepeds sitzen perfekt und lassen sich einfach auf die Chips anbringen. Kühlkörper ausrichten andrücken, die beiden Kabel mit den passend 5V und GND verbinden und schon ist man fertig. Die Leistung macht sich sofort bemerkbar bei der Abfrage in selber Bedingung bewegt sich der PI nun bei rund 50 grad was perfekt ist in meinen Augen. Natürlich macht der Lüfter ein kleines Geräusch, welches aber weder störend noch untragbar ist. Für mich erfüllt die Kühlung sein Zweck, ist preis leistungstechnisch fair und sehr gut verarbeitet sowie verpackt und beschrieben.

Ottimo radiatore per il Rasberry Pi4, si adatta perfettamente coprendo e dissipando il calore del processore e degli altri integrati e la ventolina, silenziosa ed efficiente, è immersa al suo interno.

Impresionante el aparatito señor@s. Merece la pena aunq t ocupe 2 pines. He pasado de 65 grados, ahora en verano por tener en ejecución un modulo de ultrasonidos, a 45 grados. Antes la tocaba y daba miedo de lo caliente q estaba, ahora estoy mas tranquilo. Imprescindible este cacharro. Y cero ruido en 3v, en 5v no lo he probado. Por cierto, he leído un comentario de que queda suelta y si le das la vuelta se cae. Respecto de esto, vienen unas gomas difusoras q les tienes q quitar la pegatina de arriba y de abajo para q agarren abajo en los chips y arriba con el difusor de metal. Así queda todo pegadito y no se cae.

I do not want to post a negative review without receiving some support first but I did not know how to contact support so here it goes: I received two thermal tapes for the raspberry pi 4. The Cpu tape is on good shape. The tape for memory and the controllers gave me a problem. The seal on the upside won't come off taking the glue layer and part of the strip with it. Is there anything I can do about that? Can I use one of the strips for the RPI3 as a replacement?

L'installation d'origine dans un boîtier "Super NES" n'était pas top, et le Raspberry Pi 3B avait tendance à monter en température voire à se mettre en sécurité. J'ai donc installé ce ventirad mais il m'a fallu découper la partie "range carte SD" du boîtier pour qu'il puisse s'insérer convenablement. Le ventilateur est très silencieux (en 3,3V) et la sonde oscille dans les 40/45°C en pleine utilisation ... Pour le prix, que demander de plus ?
