Raspberry iUniker Heatsink Model Single
Amazon's catalog no longer lists this product (checked 2026-11-02). The name comes from the link HN users posted.
Good call. Those are pretty cases.
I saw some tests indicating open+fan really dropped temps vs closed+fan so I ordered one of these: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01LXSMY1N
I have one of these cases[1] for my Pi4 4GB from Amazon. Comes with heatsink and small fan (very quiet). Right now running "watch -n 1 vcgencmd measure_temp" puts it at 36C idle. Well I guess it is actually running k3s with no deployments/pods, so fairly idle.
I do remember it running a bit hotter before I updated to the latest firmware via "sudo apt full-upgrade" a few days ago.
Running "stress -c 4" gets it up to about 50C ...
