I picked up one of these fanless cases, with aluminum heat sink built in, seems to work pretty well - https://flirc.tv/more/raspberry-pi-4-case

I've been very happy with these as well.

I have an Argon NEO:

It gets hot to the touch, so I presume that it's dissipating heat like it's supposed to.

I use these too! The case contacts with the CPU inside via a thermal pad and the entire outside of the case becomes the heatsink. It's a really clever design. Stays cool, no fan.

Do you know of EU delivery options?

Amazon UK has it, so maybe other Amazons too.

It's also sold at the aliexpress

https://thepihut.com

Dunno about the price of delivery

You can also check if a reseller of rpie for your coutnry has it from the official cite - https://www.raspberrypi.org/products/raspberry-pi-4-model-b/...

Just click buy and choose country.

If only they had a version that leaves the gpio pins accessible...

There is a gap for a ribbon cable, like this one: https://octopart.com/search?q=IDSD-20-D-06.00

From the site: "GPIO pins are accessible through the slot on the bottom of the case"

I wish there was a pic. If you find the one for Pi Zero, it shows a slot for GPIO access.

Ah that's useful, thank you.

I use this one a lot: https://www.kiwi-electronics.nl/aluminium-heatsink-behuizing.... I does get warm to the touch, but not close to throttling.

It seems to be available on Amazon if you do a Google Image search. I have Amazon domains blocked by DNS so I didn’t see the full URL

Have the same one form eBay, works great even with the pi4 overclocked to 1.9Ghz.

Yeah I was looking at that one earlier - are there holes on it to mount it to a wall? I can't quite tell from any of the pictures I can find.

Mine does not.

That's the Pimoroni RPi4 case. I don't want to spam the link a third time though.

Then you'll like the case I got for mine: https://shop.pimoroni.com/products/aluminium-heatsink-case-f...
