Pi 3 B+ Case, Miuzei Pi 3B Case Aluminium Passive Cooling Case with Heat-Sinks

As soon as I opened the package I was impressed. This thing is beautiful. I know that's a weird thing to say about a case, but it is. It's solid aluminum, with a black finish and it's a striking piece of kit. More importantly it does a tremendous job cooling the Raspberry Pi. I'm using it with a 3 b+ and it fits really well. At first I thought it didn't fit properly but I think I didn't have the board in the right spot. Once I got it in properly, it was perfect. This is going in my attic which is really hot. Despite the temperature up there being over 45°C the maximum CPU temperature I got was 60°C. I have another Pi in a plastic case with just a tiny heat sink on it and it runs at 51°C, and it's in the cool air conditioned house. Update! I bought another of these metal cases and that same Pi now runs at 35°C.So it does a great job of passive cooling. Why might this case not be for? If you regularly want to open up your pi and poke around, or regularly want to swap SD cards, then this is not for you. While it's possible to get the SD card out, it's a pain to do so. But if you want to fit and forget and want a really well built case that will keep your Pi cool, then this is for you.

I am very happy with the three I bought for my RPI 3B+ boards, they even have a cutout for the Wi-Fi antenna, I did not notice any noticeable drop in dBm though I am close to one of my access points.Could not get CPU temperature beyond 60c running stress or cpuburn_a53.High quality anodized aluminum case, isopropyl alcohol safe, had to clean them to stick labels on them.Very happy with this heat sink! I wish I would have known about this sooner since all the fans in my active coolers are squealing. Lol

Good cover for my projects.

This Miuzei Raspberry Pi 3 B/B+ case looks and feels substantial. It comes with several thermal pads, which might be the difference between the two models. I used two on the top side and one on the bottom. It all fits together tight and could probably dissipate a lot of heat. Having it all passive is nice because adding a small diameter fan is just a noisy proposition.I found though that once it is together it is difficult to get the microSD card out. This is important because my image became corrupted and I need to get a new card installed. I had to take it back apart and put on the missing thermal pad on the bottom and that changed it where I could actually get the card out, but not without it scraping/rubbing on the heatsink. Once I know more about how it all works I'll update this review.

I had picked another pi 3 b+ case that im positive said it would fit raspberry pi b3+ case... .after much time spent trying to get the pi 3b+ board to fit .I gave up.i orderd a diffrent brand of alumium box that dropped right in perfect. Now i have to return the first one .i dont want to look like someone that cant put a pi b3+ box together.but the first one said pib3+will fit.IT DID NOT FIT.. The second box said pi3b+IT WOULD FIT IT FITTY PERFECT

I am repurposing my 3b after upgrading my RetroPi setup. The original case fan was loud and getting louder. the passive cooling works great. The only issue I had was that the installation was a bit finicky and the instructions didn’t make it obvious where the long screws went. In the long run it doesn’t matter as won’t be opening the case up again.

Very tough case. Hard to get together at first but once you do it holds the pi securely. All ports are accessible, as card is accessible, status lights are visible. There are tools and compound for attaching to heat sinks better but they are optional. I didn’t use because the pi 3 doesn’t get that hot anyway in my experience.

Fits perfectly and keeps my Pi 3B+ cool
