Make your Raspberry Pi seriously cool with Fan SHIM This 30mm no solder, controllable CPU fan with RGB LED and tactile switch will give your Raspberry Pi significantly better thermal performance. Fan SHIM uses a friction fit header, so it just slips onto your Pi's pins and it's ready to go, no soldering required The fan can be controlled in software, so you can do crafty things like toggle it on when the CPU reaches a certain temperature. Use the LED as a handy visual indicator to show fan status, CPU load/temperature, whatever Features 30mm 5V DC fan 4,200 RPM 0.05 m3/min air flow 18.6 dB acoustic noise (whisper quiet) RGB LED (APA102) Tactile switch Compatible with Raspberry Pi 4 (and 3 B+, 3 A+) Python library and daemon Kit contains Fan SHIM PCB 30mm 5V DC fan with JST connector M2.5 nuts and bolts Assembly With the component side of the PCB facing upwards, push the two M2.5 bolts through the holes from below, then screw on the first pair of nuts to secure them and act as spacers. Push the fan's mounting holes down onto the bolts, with the cable side of the fan downwards (as pictured) and the text on the fan upwards. Attach with another two nuts. Push the fan's JST connector into the socket on Fan SHIM. Notes When mounting or detaching the fan, or assembled Fan SHIM, do not push on the fan itself, as it is liable to break. Be careful to mount your Fan SHIM on the correct pins on your Pi, with the Pi shut down and power disconnected. Not heatsink compatible Because Fan SHIM uses pin BCM18 to control the fan, and this pin is also used by I2S audio devices, you won't be able to use I2S DACs at the same time as Fan SHIM Review: Excellent quiet fan - Pros: 1 - It is super easy to install 2 - Unlike the fan in the case I was using before, which had a distracting high-pitched whine, this fan is very quiet and fades into the background 3 - I stress tested it with a script by C. Barnatt and my Pi 3 does stay cool Con: 1 - If you don't press fit securely onto the GPIO pins, it can stop operating. Since I fixed this it has been fine. Review: Reliable after 6 months non-stop - Although the price is a bit high for the size, the simplicity of the design cannot be ignored. There are a few main benefits people may not see at first glance. 1. No fasteners. You simply slide it on the pins. Clever idea. It takes no tools and you are done in 10 seconds. 2. No adhesive pads or paste required. If you ever have to take it off, you don't have to clean the CPU, or pry it off. 3. No software required. You can use some additional software, but you don't need to. 4. Physical button to turn it off. Not sure why you would do this, but it's cool that you can. 5. Fit's inside most cases. Most, not all, but some other coolers eliminate case use completely. One disadvantage is, if for any reason you need "top access" to the Pi mounting hole covered by the fan, you will have to remove the cooler completely and put it back on after. This isn't a big deal at all, but it's worth mentioning. You can hear it. Don't think it's silent, because it isn't. But it is very quiet. It's not annoying either. Sounds a bit like a very small laptop, running at very low idle fan speed, but a bit less loud. In my opinion, for what it does, and the ease of installation, there are very few other products this good. Especially for low noise. It also has some of the best cooling performance for the Pi4, (when running at 100% load) coming in at the 2nd to 3rd best thermal cooling ability on the market IMO... for it's size. There are better coolers, but they are much bigger. I will be using this cooler for many future builds.

Controls heat very effectively, minimal noise
Works really well. Trivial to fit, no soldering. With a small mod to your /boot/config.txt you can program it to come on at a temperature of your choice. It will go off when it's gone down by 10 degrees. Makes a very slight noise while running, not too obtrusive.

Ottimo prodotto. Servizio assistenza ineccepibile
È stato estremamente facile montarlo e configurarlo, andando sul sito ufficiale è possibile anche installare facilmente un daemon o uno script per configurarlo correttamente Edit: a causa di un piccolo malfunzionamento la ventola ha smesso di funzionare dopo neanche un mese, ma anche qui, l'assistenza del venditore e di Amazon sono subito venute in aiuto e ho fatto nel giro di qualche giorno il reso e il riordino. Servizio assistenza ineccepibile.

Boitier en aluminium d'excellente qualité
Le boitier est parfaitement adapté au Raspberry Pi 4. J'ai placé les entretoises de façon à ce que la ventilation soit plus efficace compte tenu de la température de base des éléments du nano-ordinateur. J'ai également installé un ventilateur Pimoroni Fan Shim après avoir placé des dissipateurs thermiques (Jun_Electronics cuivre et aluminium) ce qui m'a permis de diminuer drastiquement la température à 44°C. L'un des dissipateurs a dû être retravaillé en haut à gauche pour permettre l'installation du ventilateur. Le lien Amazon pour les dissipateurs: B07V3CLZSD Le lien Amazon pour le ventilateur: B07TTTCN8H En bref, le Raspberry Pi 4 peut fonctionner à plein régime dès lors que la régulation de la température est active. L'ensemble permet de répondre à ces contraintes.
