Raspberry Pi ICE Tower Fan(Black)

Previously was using the Vilros passive cooling case with a Sandisk Extreme 32gb card, stock CPU settings. Liked the case as it came in contact with the CPU, ram, ethernet and usb controllers. Looks good too. For my use, got so hot the pi kept slowing down and becoming unresponsive. Too bad. Added this cooler, same conditions but added my own heatsinks to the other chips as this cooler only contacts the CPU. Rock solid at 1.5ghz. Not a single issue. Never overclocked a pi before so gave it a try. Ramped up to 2ghz. Temp never got over 40°C! Run this command via command line to monitor temperature: watch -n 1 vcgencmd measure_temp Even when stressed with near 100% CPU load at a full 2ghz, never skipped for 12 hours and only touched 44°C for a short time. Was performing large file transfers (large and small files, 5 bay raid usb 3.0, four simultaneous transfers and random speedtests via chromium) to test. System is running full Raspbian and OMV (wired ethernet, 5-bay usb 3.0 enclosure). Very usable as a workstation (and background server) for light office use, not video editing or heavy tasks. That is what a PC is for. Fan is a quiet hum and barely noticed it running. Nice touch on the color changing LEDs. Would highly recommend the cooler and would like to know if anyone has tried Retropi while overclocked? Would be interesting.

This is a great product that is built well and has had many review videos on UTUBE. I have installed it on my Raspberry Pi 4B with 8 GB of memory and it keeps everything cool with no throttling of the CPU. I highly recommend the product as it is easy to assemble and works as advertised.

It was able to lower temps on a rpi4b from 83c during a stress test to 37c. You will need longer screws if you want to install a Noctua fan. The original shipment arrived with some damage to the fins but the seller offered a full refund.

I have a Noctua NH-D15S chromax.black in my desktop, so I bought this just because it looks cool and thought it would be a fun compliment. I was halfway thinking this was just a gimmick and wouldn't actually have a real benefit. I installed this on a new Raspberry Pi 4B 4GB. To take the install over the top, I sanded off most of the paint on the base with 400 grit sandpaper and then polished it with 1500 grit to get a nice smooth surface for mating to the CPU. Rather than using the supplied thermal adhesive I used some NT-H1 thermal compound that I had laying around. Attempting to follow the pictures in the installation guide I assembled the mounts backwards the first time, but it was easy to correct. Following the install I thought it would be a good idea to run some thermal stress tests. The case that I ordered is still in transit so for now it is sitting on my desk in open air, ambient temperature is ~24C. I used Stressberry to run 3 tests, Fan Unplugged, Fan connected to 3.3V, Fan connected to 5V. Because I was so excited to install the heatsink I didn't run any stress tests without it installed. Fan unplugged: Idle 33C, Stress 44C 3.3V Fan: Idle 30C, Stress 39C 5V Fan: Idle 29C, Stress 36C At these temperatures there was obviously no throttling. These were short 15 minute tests so I may not have reached stability. Once I get the Pi installed in the case I'll run longer tests to determine how I want to run it long term. I bought a Noctura 40mm fan that I'll be testing as well, just to increase the cool factor a little bit more. If you want your Pi to run cool or just look cool this is the cooler to get. Is it overkill? Yes. Am I happy with my purchase? Yes.

First cooler came in missing all the mounting parts (spacers, nuts and screws) and appeared to be a return that wasn’t checked before sending out again. It was replaced quickly and the replacement had everything needed to set up and install.

When looking for single-board-computer cooling solutions I generally go for utilitarian function, and I'll admit part of the "market appeal" of these units is strictly cosmetic - they just look cool! That being said they are still quite good at what they do, well built and reliable. I bought this one in particular to build a retro-gaming emulator for a friend and the cool look was just an added touch, but considering the impressive quality and affordable price I would consider buying this model again for myself.

Moved from official Pi3+ case. Dropped average temperature by 10 degrees F. And SUPER quiet.

I wouldn’t recommend this to anyone trying to cool down any pi or bitaxe. The black color doesn’t cool down chip. My bitaxe board went pass 69c in seconds and then thought it would work with my Pi4. But instead it killed the processor. Very frustrating and disappointing. This should be given for free so we can dispose it like it deserves.

Highly recommended if your raspberry pi is running hot. Previously running at about 60-65C range with my current workload (case with fan, heatsink). With this it stays well in 40-45C range.

I've been using my RPi 4 as my Homebridge device for my home and it'd get pretty hot sitting in my rack. This cooler has dropped the temp. by 10 degrees and under heavy load only hits about 40 degrees max now. Great product for the price. Definitely recommend. Keep in mind, it will not fit in any case but the ICE branded cooler or larger.

Went together easy and ran great keeping the pi 4- 4gb at a modest 39 to 41 degrees I just feel more relaxed now when stressing the pi.

Works as advertised. My pi an run hd videos for hours and the temps never exceed 32-35. Fantastic addition.

Earlier, I was using metal case with 2 little cooling fan which failed in 1 year. Ever since then, my RPi 4B has been running without fans and reaches ~ 50 to 54 degrees under medium load. After, installing GeeekPi RBG Cooling Fan, it instantly dropped to ~ 35 degrees and never exceeds 40 degrees. Best part is, it comes with extra black (non-RBG) fan, incase if the RGB one fails. Rating is 4/5 because the thermal pads are very thin and this cooler doesn't support cooling for memory module. What I run? Multimedia Stack - Jellyfin, Jellyseerr, Prowlarr, Radarr, Sonarr, Lidarr, qBittorrent, MeTube VPNs. Everything running as docker containers on Ubuntu Server LTS.
