4:35 That graph really needs a labeled time axis.
It's like putting a fan in a tupperware container.
Yes but... He is testing a product, not doing a stupid thing.
They should have sold a new top of the case with holes and fan together.
My thinking too.
Probably not achievable for 5 bucks.
@@hassosigbjoernson5738 yet they can include a plastic clip to mount fan. What and extra buck or 2.
I tend to agree with this, a new top cover at a minimum with the fan mount would have made far more sense. I think they kind of fell asleep at the wheel. Kudos to ETA Prime for making this video!
@@jayp3564 They shouldn't sell any case! The Pi is often used in the maker scene or by nerds who gladly craft their own! 😉
Some models as a blueprint on their website or on thingiverse should be enough!
And for those who do not have a 3D printer or a mill there are plenty options on the aftermarket (metal case) with *propper cooling* or online services and cafe's where you can order your printed model.
But it's obvious: they wanted to stay under 5 bucks. If you have extra wishes... make your own! (It could be fun. 😉 )
Given that there's basically nowhere for the air to go I'm surprised that this works at all.
Correct . The air "in" has a very tiny "holes" to go inside the case and i doubt that the fan can work as a good vacuum...also the "exaust" ? Through the micro sd card hole ? Last but not least the provide just the cpu heatsink ..bah, this is the worst thing i've been seen in decades .
for a week i was waiting for this one
Lol, it took forever to get here
Me too
just need to drill some speed holes in the case :)
the official blog has the prototypes with holes explanations
@@RafaCoringaProducoes but did they test it overclocked? Yes, it's great without holes, but with an overclock do the holes help? Especially for exhaust.
what about the sound of the fan? Can you hear it? is it audible? Thats what always annoyed me at this fan size.
Really hoped he would comment on the noise levels in this video. It's an important factor for me.
I like my fans to make sound. It lets me know my computer is doing stuff.
I’m left wondering, why don’t you show us what happens when adding a few, small vent holes? You’d mark up your case for sure, but at least we’d have the answer.
The RPi foundation did this when they developed it and it made a small difference
The engineer who designed this has a very detailed blog post on the raspberry pi website about the development process.Basically, the holes were no help. This is great if you're not overclocking. Serious enthusiasts need a serious cooling solution. I use low profile Ice Coolers and they are fabulous. For the more mundane, this $5 option is great.
@@ninline2000 Noctua RasPi cooler when? And yes I know you can use a noctua 40 mm fan with the raspi, I mean like a supper mini nhd15 w/ heat pipes.
@@levygaming3133 i just ordered noctua fans for my ice towers... But a huge beefy cpu cooler mounted on a pi woulf be pretty funny
You deserved 1 million subs
Deserved?
If you don't have a desktop on your Raspberry Pi, you can use the raspi-config. The fan settings are under "Performance Settings" > "Fan". The pin is 14 if you are setting up everything as it is in this video.
i think that they must ship a replacement cover with holes or a cut off along side with this cooling fan.
Sucking air in through the ports is a terrible afterthought design. The contacts will collect dust.
the ports dont have gaps through the air could get sucked in, it sucks air through the gap between the ports and the case
It IS an afterthought at best and what irritates me most is that still, even after they admit through a product like this that the Pi4 is in dire need of cooling as a computer, they still insist in the "sprint-and-recover" use case for the Pi4, as if it's a smartphone. It's not, and it's not used as one. As a computer I put it through it's paces and I expect a - somewhat limited, sure but - constant performance, whether I do emulation, browsing or programming. Let's hope the next Pi will be designed with cooling from day one, if it actually needs it. The Pi 4 certainly does
@@jimvonmoon Instead of that plastic bracket, why didn't they make it a replacement top which has added holes and fan clips? You would just upgrade your existing Pi case, and keep the original top for if you wish to switch back to passive cooling.
Try to mod the case and see how much different in temperature you will get good idea right
I wondered if this fan was powerful enough to keep the Pi cool when it was under load. Now we know! It’s too bad that didn’t come out with a why to over come the make it work better. Maybe they could just sell a replacement case top with a hole in the top?
Thanks for the report
This fan should have been in the official case since launch.
I wonder, how much it would help to mod the case top with some holes to allow air to circulate in and out with that fan installed.
Personal experience, you'll drop a good 10-15c. Better off getting one of those heatsink type cases off ebay for 15-20 bucks. Worked wonders
Honestly, if you're the type who's going to pick up the Desktop Kit and never go past those parts (kid's teaching tool, gran's email inbox), the extra fiver for this isn't too bad an idea, if only for some peace-of-mind on the cooling front. Hell, maybe they should just include these in the next revision of the Kit, it'd be a good hands-on tutorial for the GPIO pins.
I've been waiting for this video, pitty about the overclock, but it keeps it from throttling at stock speed, that's fine for my needs.
Does anyone know how to stop flickering/tearing on the pi watching RUclips videos?
I wish I had seen this video earlier; I thought the supplied heatsink was too large and I went and I bought a set of 4 heatsinks (3 + 1 flat with rpi logo) about at 1.2$. CPU's heatsink was of a more reasonable size.
Unoftunately, the case wouldn't close with all 3 of them installed. So I took off the two that I had installed (gpu and usb heatsinks), and I installed the flat one, the one with the pi logo that I had deliberately left out to be installed last, on the gpu instead, to help the case to close without touching anything and still be able to heat off the gpu at least a bit.
Now, about that last comment about the ventilation missing, I bought a plastic hand driller and I carefully opened a small hole exactly above the pi logo on the case (white part). I think it worth the effort and it's still beatitul too.
add a small dab of thermal paste to the CPU and put the heatsink back on it then test
Ive noticed that thermal adhesive by itself kinda sucks but adding a small amount of thermal paste greatly helps it.
Worth knowing.
I have found an "official" site here in Japan doing Raspberry Pis, and their package deal for the whole 4B 8GB kit inc case - a better looking one in terms of cooling - is, in your terms anyway, about 135 USD inc shipping.
Just want to be sure I am not going to have to replace a very nearly new case after purchase - the case, I want to o/c it to 2.1 Ghz, is quite important.
Thanks.
Thanks for this. I was wondering whether my official Pi 4 case setup with a fan was sufficient to stop throttling, but have not figured out how to test it yet. This goes a long way toward answering that question.
Great to see a video about this. Very nice that the latest OS update has support for it, or indeed others. They really should make a new vented case. Also, stock is 1.2.
I'd probably set the fan to come on straight away and possibly use the XL heatsink they now make
in the official launch video, people were actually jocking that ETA prime would do a two part 15 minutes videos about the fan!
I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed thad :D
This video game in the nick of time considering the fact that I've pondering on getting a Pi 4.
Get one.
Are you going to do a video after you do some strategic hole drilling in the case?
Mister ETA PRIME, i just check out your "Video list", can you please make a new list about : "RASPBERRY Pi 4 - Review/ All cases and more" ? please, that would be awesome...
DeskPi-Pro is my Pi4 Case... Love It.
Does it not come with fhe screws and washers like the fans usually do if you don't want k use that mounting plastic?
Hey Prime can you do a tutorial on homebrewing a DS Lite in 2020? Will appreciate.
I have one of those cheaper cases you showed last from Amazon (not sure if they're all the same but mine has great build quality and is one of the best cases I've used for my RPi's) and I can say it works great! I have my Pi4 4GB OC'd and run emulators up to the Dreamcast and PS1 for hours without any thermal throttling.
Can see them in future version of this case having the fan all ready built in.
Ventilation-power drill, drill bit. Deburr all holes
I am looking for a 40mmx40mm fan that is controlled by the Pi go on and off based on temperature. Do you know of any?
Hi, thanks for this video. What application did you use to monitoring temperature and prepare this graph?
Please do yourself a favor and just bin the standard pi case. Even with holes drilled in the stop and heatsinks my pi4-8gb would thermal throttle at times.
I installed a generic aluminum dual fan case (which is basically one big heatsink) with some thermal paste and my temps dropped to mid 30s with active cooling and high 40s without (19c ambient temp). I was in the low/mid 60s with the pi case holes drilled and 80c+ without the holes
Cost me like 15 bucks on ebay and well worth the purchase
Can I use a different 5v and gnd pin for the fan? As I already have a shutdown button setup on 5+6 and an LED on 8+39
I wonder if it would perform better by removing the plastic white bits between the ports. Very little difference aesthetics wise but still an increased surface area to draw air from.
I got a ice tower (noctua fan) with thermal grizzly kryonaut paste. Cool
i wonder if you can use the fan control now in pi os for other fans as well
how loud is that fan? does is sound like a jet engine on start?i threw my stock fan in the trash and use instead an 80mm 12v pc fan runns with only 5 volts yea but moves more air und is silent at the same time
Wonder what the difference would be if you snipped those two centre struts in the middle on either side of the centre USB port stack off.
ETA Prime Time means nerd stuff time! I always enjoy your videos!
And I wonder if there are some 3D printable cases on thingiverse, where you can use any standard fan laying around or even some older CPU heat sinks like from an old pentium or athlon ...
Maybe you could do a similar video for your favourite oDroid SBC as a media center with android TV. That in a passive cooled case with fluent video playback would be awesome!
i seen some large heatsinks that cover the whole pi for cheaper and offer better performance but its not as pretty as official case and the pi is kind of exposed
What if you turn the fan the other direction? Just a thought.
With custom DIY case can I run TWO of these? In and Out. Both from GPIO power.
Passive aluminum case with good thermal paste does the job for overclocking
This is the problem i had with this case. There's just nowhere to put a fan or a heatsink. I tried cutting a hole in it for the fan but the plastic is so thin i ended up damaging it.
Please make some entry and exit ventilation holes and do a comparison video.
You make videos on good topics. please make videos on how to play old games on PC.
I've been having a lot of trouble with the pi 4. I can't change the screen resolution. It kicks me back. Kodi often crashes too.
I would love to see if it works better with vent holes
I think I am gonna pass on the case and use that $5 and buy myself a 4 for $4 at Wendys
Nothing better than food😬
@@matthewlosada8781 sex is better than food
What about noise? I'd prefer a bigger fan with low voltage to ensure silent operation.
Can the fan rpm speed be variable based on temperature curve or is it only on and off?
Great video like always. Just curious does stressberry give you those charts or do u make them ?
Love your channel. This makes no sense without adding vent holes to the case, that's just a terrible design/idea
Can you revisit this by just cutting the plastic dividers between the Ethernet and USB ports? And then maybe by drilling a few small holes in the front? And that cheap blue-lidded case with the 40mm fan looks cool, but can the $5 three-pin fan from raspberry fit that case so you can use the built in fan-throttle control in Pi OS?
Version 1.9.3 patch twister os no more sound after update. pi4/8gb - great job, what should i do? Bad patch, bad. The last two upgrades was ok.
This man is awesome
Maybe I'll buy a Raspberry pi
Its ok but the APPLE PI and MINCEMEAT PI are better
Which direction does the air blow?
Is there a way to set the fan parameters via the command line?
I have the Ice Tower, do you think It's better than this fan?
Surely if you have the Pi 4 case, this fan is good and drilling holes too would be better...
Kinda unrelated but can someone recommend the best case fan for the Argon One case? I would like it to be quieter but still have about the same cooling.
EDIT: BTW the fan size is 30mm.
Omg look at that little fan🧐😍
As allways nice vid.
i still prefer the Argon One Case but i assume forthis price it is a good solution.
I would drill some Vent Holes in the top of the Case over the CPU to give that Hot Air a place to escape & it would probly cool decently than.
Would have been interesting to see what overclock it could handle.
yes
Same, I just got my first pi, with this case included. And I'd like to know how far I can push it before modifying the case, and if I do modify it, where would the optimal holes be? Right above the fan? With some exit ones towards the back?
Need more hole vents in this case
I may get some blowback for suggesting this, but worth a shot: if I had this case I’d take off the heat sink. I found in other plastic cases that just a fan does a remarkable job. Don’t ask me for the reason because I don’t know.
Does this fit in the CanaKit Deksop Case?
5 bucks will also (alternatively) buy you a couple nice little 8-packs of RAM heat-sinks that are pure copper if you really want to keep it cool. :-) Pair that with this fan (and use more than 1 per pi, haha) and you'd likely see a much better improvement. Oh, and drill some sort of vent holes at the opposite end, haha. The hot air needs somewhere to go that's not inside the case!
I would really like to see the tests results on this type of setup.
whats the best case for the POE hat add on?
maybe some holes at the other end of that case to have the air go outside of the case.
What about the noise? thank you
The pi40 case would be nice but I'm still waiting for mine from the ks campaign
An ice tower even passively cooled will do a better job than this. The fan being directly detected in raspberry pi os is a cool feature though.
I guess is a step on the right direction
No idea where to post this. Not RUclips savy. Can you do a video on adding themes to recall 7.0? Either way thanks in advance.
Recalbox 7.0 sorry
Best one is M.2 Argon one case i think
I watched this after the trailer
Hi Eta Prime. Just an offtopic question. What's the cheapest android device that can run playstation 2 and gamecube games?
gamecube will be fine on a snap 7xx device like a redmi note 9s/9pro but ps2 might need a 8xx series soc meaning you should find a cheap 2020 or 2019 flagship
Just me or does your voice sound a bit like its under water or sped up in this one?
lol @ 4:51 the 74f must = -23 C lol
Nice one man
Finally fan control its sadly not pwm but still something ^^
is he the new linus tech tips?
Would the fan control software be installable on a retropi install?
No
Drill holes in it?
eeeek telling people to do a full-upgrade just to get a fan working is harsh, for many people going from older version of debian this will cuase lots of problems!
That case still needs an inlet and outlet to let the air flow properly.
fan is noice, noice is pain
What more can you ask for in a $5 case
Just got this fan, it's awful! Constant whine from it's motor, and it doesn't shut down when the pi is shut down. I have on my other pi4 one of the layered cases you show, I should have just got that, it runs home assistant on an SSD and never makes a sound. It's on 24/7
I would NOT recommend CoolerMaster's case - you can see the countless unhappy backers of the project(I am one of them). They screwed with shipment and fulfillment,in addition to that they will be shipping with pins shuffled so the promise of working with regular HATs have been abandoned
Has anyone made a kit for Raspberry pi that looks and works like a coleco desktop mini arcade?
