Argon One Case with Cooling Fan for Raspberry Pi 4 | Includes 5.25V/3.5A Power Supply | Aluminum Heatsink | Power Button | Supports Retro Gaming, Movies, and Music

Havent fired up yet, but case quality nice. Using it for a fixture.

This case is great! The design looks great and works great. I like that all connections are on the back. The passive and active cooling work excellent. Im overclocked the Pi4 to the max 2.2 and set the fan to come on at 60 c, the fan has only come on once, that was running two video programs and and multi programs. The temp rarely reaches 50 c no matter how hard you push the pi. I like the case so much I bought another one for my Pi 3.

Sleak design. No issues with over heating while using the Raspberry Pi 4 . Great little case ...Cant complain at all.

Does exactly as described. Love the quality and stays cool.

Just an excellent case, love the conversion to regular HDMI for my retro console setup. Keeps the Pi4 nice and cool with overclocking as well. Install was super easy and everything just worked.

Ive had RPis since they came out. Never liked the way the power and i/os were all over the place until this case appeared. Works great for a permanent installs. Buying another one for my garage RPi.

I am very impressed by how well thought out this is...except for one thing which is enough to knock off a star. The micro SD card can only be inserted when the case is on. This means it must be removed in order to take off the case. However this is near impossible to do because there is no room to grip the SD card to remove it. I had to use a knife to push at it at an angle with the case supporting it from the other side to finally remove the thing. But the other features of this case put it ahead of the other offerings that if I ever in the market for another one, Ill probably be coming back to this one.

I originally purchased this case so I could also make use of the GPIO pins of the Raspberry Pi 4, but I am impressed with the quality and other features of the case.

Board didn’t align with all screw holes. Thought I might have just got a bad one but Amazon was OOO for a replacement. So 3 star review due to board quality of my existing unit.

I purchased this enclosure based on reviews Ive read about how well the temperature control of the RPI board is kept. The enclosure does include a fan and there is an open-sourced bash script that you can install to adjust the fan to trigger the fan speed based on the temperature sensed in the RPI CPU. Keep in mind that my application is a nameserver for my internal network and does not stress the RPI CPU anywhere near the performance hit (temperature-wise) you would experience for gaming or other high-CPU utilization applications. To verify that the RPI CPU was not overheating, I set up a cron job to log the CPU temperature to a text file every minute. A Python program retrieves the log file via SSH on my MacBook Pro. I used matplotlib to view the temperature variation is (see photo). The graph is nothing fancy as I am new to Python. What you see in the attached plot is the temperature fluctuation, of the RPI CPU, in a nominal house environment with low CPU utilization. I plan on characterizing other RPIs I have with greater CPU demand but thought Id share this case as a reference. Finally, the enclosure, as a whole, is excellent, well designed, and easy to assemble. I have at least 5 of these thus far and am using them to build components for my local network. UPDATE 6Aug2022 Argon has come out with the Argon M.2 and I am in the process of upgrading all my NAS servers to use the M.2. It eliminated my external SSD, and reduces the wire mess. The M.2 uses only the SATA M.2 according to the instruction booklet that came with my M.2. I LOVE the M.2! Oh, only one complaint. The tiny screw that holds the SSD inside the bottom cover...mine popped out of my hand and I lost it. I wish Argon would include at least one extra screw of each size used in the case! That, or mention the screw sizes in the instructions.
