GeeekPi Case for Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ (B Plus), with Cooling Fan and 3PCS Heatsinks for Raspberry Pi 3/2 Model B (Not Include Raspberry Pi Board)(Clear)

Sooo I bought one of those ASUS Tinker Boards on Amazon. All the ports are the same layout and the instructions say that most Rasperry Pi cases should fit fine….most. Wouldn’t you know the cheapest on here doesn’t.Undeterred I broke out my trusty Dremel (Christmas prezzy from the wife) and a few very fun destructive moments later, it fit just fine. ASUS puts its chips in a different layout as you can see. Anyway. Fits fine now. Does the job. I’m happy 😂

Upgrades your pi with cooling fan. Al works great and is so cheap!

Just stuck my Pi 3 B+ into this (so good news for those that have been bitten by the B+ changes) and it's very good. Aesthetics wise, yes it's plastic, but it's a tenner, what do you expect? Anyhow, as plastic goes, it's a nice matt finish, slots together well with no gaps. You get 10 screws, 4 will hold the Pi to the base place, 4 will hold the fan to the top plate, so, yes, you get a spare screw for each! That alone will bump it a star in my book.Assembly instructions are concise, so please read them, they do tell you everything you need to know. The fan will mount either way up if you have a preference but I'd go for the illustrated way. Looking at the temperatures it's saved a few degrees, so that's what you get. A nice case with a fan, well designed, easy to put together, that does have some cooling effect. All in for a tenner, not bad at all.[update] Reading a few of the other comments, yes, the instructions are in 0.01pt font, but as others have pointed out, the Amazon pictures make it clear, or if your eyesight is like mine, use your phone camera. Possibly not obvious for those that have not come across it, the copper heat sink is for the RAM on the underside of the board. Also with respect to possible stripping/breaking of the screw holes, a threadlocker (Loctite Blue is easy to get) will solve any cludges here. Some reported the case covers pin 6, there isn't a lot of room but I had no problems.That's my tuppence worth, in short, recommended.

This is an excellent piece of kit - incredibly well made and supplied with all you need, including a screwdriver. What stops me giving it five stars are two little 'niggles'. Firstly the instructions are truly, utterly, AWFUL. Too small, too brief. The colour photos are tiny, and the steps are not described in enough detail. I have experience of building this kind of thing so it was not a major drawback, but a beginner could have a hard time. The photos on the Amazon page are VITAL when it comes to matching the pins for the fan. The other drawback is that this case has no port for the power/drive lights! Even worse, a big tab to hold the case together comes down right in front of them, so cutting a hole is not that easy. (Oh, and don't over-tighten the screws - the plastic is soft!)OK; pluses? Extremely high quality construction, and looks like something far more expensive. The fan is whisper-quiet in 'slow' mode and everything fits securely. No forcing was required. Nice touch that an extra screw of each type was supplied - they are so small one can easily get away. Blu-tak to hold the screw on the screwdriver is a must (and so is a magnifying glass for connecting the fan pins).Improve the instructions and this is a winner all the way. Sadly without this I can only recommend it for those who are experienced.Reluctantly - four stars instead of the five it really deserves.

This is a review is for the GeeekPi Case for Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ with included 5v cooling fan and three heatsinks.I had my pi in a 3d printed case with only vents. No heat sinks or fans and it got hot! So hot I'd get a lot of throttling.This case solved all of that, and the fan is inaudible on the quiet setting.For a Chinese export this isn't Chinesium at all either. The plastic is solid and when completed it's quite weighty. it's definitely ABS and is well moulded with no flashing. Tolerance is so tight it was a bit difficult to get apart!The included screwdriver is a nice touch but perhaps they could drop that and use the savings to at least double the size of the instructions. The images are absolutely tiny and you will have to reference the images here on the sales page for the correct pins for the fan. Besides, who doesn't have a Phillips screwdriver these days anyway? Chances are if you're buying this you will have one.I'm giving it 4 stars in the hope the manufacturer takes notice of our issues with the instructions. It is a 5 star product though and you should buy it anyway.

This is great little kit at a good price.Couple of things though, the fan is depicted with the sticker face down, blowing air over the heat sink. I would have thought that drawing the hot air away from the heat sink and out the case would be better. (I might try it).The other thing is had they just thought about the pi camera ribbon for a split second, they would have designed the vented grill 90° to the way they are now and simply made one slot slightly bigger then you could feed the ribbon into the case. Simple solution, but it evaded their designers sadly. I will now have to cut a slot at right angles to the existing ones myself, which is a shame.

This is a nice little kit, everything fits well and it does significantly reduce the operating temperature of the pi3, however the fan is very noisy. For such a small fan it makes a heck of a racket. A drop of oil did temporarily silence it but within half an hour the fan was noisy again
