Flirc Raspberry Pi 4 Caseĭesigned to blend in with home theatre products, the Flirc case is undeniably attractive Specifications Its cooling performance, though, is the weakest.
The Raspberry Pi 4 Stand is smart, free, and the only case on test to support more than a single board. Without additional cooling, the Raspberry Pi 4 Stand can’t prevent Raspberry Pi 4 from hitting its throttle point during testing. The Raspberry Pi 4 Stand improves the bare performance, but Raspberry Pi 4 still gets hot under sustained synthetic load.
FLIRC CASE INSTRUCTIONS INSTALL
Whether you install one, two, or three boards, the Raspberry Pi 4 Stand is surprisingly stable and not unattractive – and it retains access to all ports and headers. There’s a bonus trick up the Raspberry Pi 4 Stand’s sleeve, too: it holds up to three Raspberry Pi 4 boards side-by-side, making a very cost-effective computing cluster. Previous thermal testing in issue 88 showed this is surprisingly effective, and the Raspberry Pi 4 Stand solves the stability issue which comes from balancing the board on its edge. The stand is designed to improve cooling by aligning Raspberry Pi 4 vertically, rather than flat on a desk. Laser-cut from a single piece of acrylic, there’s no complex assembly required: simply slot the stand between the Power over Ethernet (PoE) header and Ethernet port of Raspberry Pi 4 and pop it on your desk. The Raspberry Pi 4 Stand is about as simple as a case could possibly be. Weight (including one Raspberry Pi 4): 54 g Made by Pimoroni from a single piece of acrylic, the Raspberry Pi 4 Stand is as pure as it gets (and comes free with issue 90 of The MagPi magazine) Specifications
FLIRC CASE INSTRUCTIONS FULL
Full details of the workload can be found in The MagPi issue 88. This workload, which stresses both the central and graphics processors, runs for ten minutes followed by a five-minute cooldown period. How we testedĮach case was given a heavy synthetic workload to represent a worst-case scenario. You’ll find one, the Raspberry Pi 4 Stand, mounted on the cover of this magazine, while the others in this group test can be found at all major retailers.Įach case here has been tested for aesthetics, complexity of assembly, and its performance in keeping Raspberry Pi 4 running cool. Raspberry Pi 4 – like all the other members of the ever-growing Raspberry Pi family – is entirely usable as is, and plenty of people appreciate the aesthetic of a bare board on a desk.įor those who don’t, there are a wealth of cases – both first- and third-party – available.
