Regarding derating, keep in mind that microSD card is affected too – and running it at 80˚C plus its own temperature rise makes frying it way more likely. I have a FLIRC case ordered too, so that might be good enough with no moving parts.
Maybe your fan with a drilled case would be acceptable. When the tasks run and there’s new data it loads 100%, but most of the time it’s idle, so the off state will greatly extend life and reliability. I’m using it to replicate ZFS from a NAS to an external HDD.

It works much better with CPU about 43C under full load, but it’s always on and it’s similarly noisy. On another Pi4 I have a smaller fan (20x20x5) zip-tied to a case lid with a hole, and exit holes drilled along the GPIO pin region. If I split the case open a little to circulate air, it goes back to cycling. Under heavy load it cycles between 65C and 75C a few times then builds up heat in the case and stays on around 67C. It looks like there is 10 degrees of hysteresis below the 75C limit. I used the firmware setting “dtoverlay=gpio-fan,gpiopin=14,temp=75000” in /boot/firmware/usercfg.txt on Ubuntu. They have a whiny noise that would be annoying in an office, even when snapped closed in the case.

If your country isn’t on the list yet, don’t worry, we’re constantly working to add further countries and resellers to the list. Simply head over to the Case Fan page and select your country from the drop-down menu. Get your Raspberry Pi 4 Case Fan todayĪs with all our products, the Raspberry Pi Case Fan is available from our Raspberry Pi Approved Resellers. Gordon Hollingworth will be here on Wednesday to talk about how he designed the Raspberry Pi 4 Case Fan ducting with the aid of a stack of Chinese takeout boxes and a glue gun. Here’s our workload running with the case fan: now the board remains well below 70C, and as expected the compile job takes the same amount of time as on the uncased board. It draws air in over the USB and Ethernet connectors, passes it over a small finned heatsink attached to the processor, and exhausts it through the SD card slot. To run indefinitely at full speed under these conditions you’ll need either a passive cooling solution (like the excellent Flirc case), or an active one like the Raspberry Pi 4 Case Fan. Quad-core kernel compile in Raspberry Pi 4 Official Case Here’s the same workload running on a board in a Raspberry Pi official case: now we hit the 80C throttle point and slow down, and the compile job takes (slightly) longer to complete.
All of these things can put us back in sprint-and-recover mode. Quad-core kernel compile without case Turning your Raspberry Pi “up to eleven”īut maybe you want to put your Raspberry Pi in a case or you’ve noticed that your Raspberry Pi will overclock to 1.8GHz or more or you want to use it in a higher ambient temperature. Here’s a graph of temperature during a quad-core compile of the Linux kernel: you can see the temperature barely exceeds 70C. In practice, the power optimisation work that we’ve done over the last eighteen months has largely eliminated throttling for an uncased board, operating at the stock clock frequency of 1.5GHz, and in a typical ambient temperature. Along with most fanless products – like most mobile phones – Raspberry Pi 4 was originally designed to operate in a “sprint-and-recover” mode: if run at maximum performance for an extended period it would heat up, and eventually throttle back to limit its temperature.
#Flirc usb raspberry pi Bluetooth
Some other metal cases are not as well designed (a few are downright stupid), so I wouldn't be surprised if they caused a more significant loss of Bluetooth and WiFi signal strength.Like all electronic products, Raspberry Pi generates waste heat as it works. Flirc cases are plastic on the bottom, and that extends a bit up the side where the antenna is, so they are designed allow wireless signals to pass through the case. The Flirc case doesn't interfere with WiFi enough to be a problem for me, but it is a bit more noticeable on the 4B than it was on the older Pi3 models. My experience with the 3B, 3B+ and 4B in aluminum alloy Flirc cases has been pretty good. Likewise, desktop motherboards with WiFi usually include an external antenna. Yes, but laptops usually have their WiFi antenna in the lid with the screen (usually on the top area where it's raised and away from the system board and other electronics). I mean, many laptops have their wifi encased in metal and it works. I would be very surprised if a case could block a wifi signal that much.
