Manufacturer description

The iUniker aluminum case turns your Raspberry Pi 4 Model B into a silent, fanless machine. The enclosure body itself acts as the heatsink: four included thermal pads bridge the Pi 4's CPU, RAM, USB controller, and PMIC to the metal shell, so heat moves out through the case instead of a spinning fan. That means no fan noise, no buzzing, and no bearing wear in a bedroom, home office, audio rack, or living-room media center. The compact black aluminum shell resists dust, scratches, and desk handling, with cutouts for USB-C power, micro HDMI, Ethernet, USB, SD card, and the GPIO header area for…

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this case cool a Raspberry Pi 4 well enough without a fan?

The aluminum body acts as a passive heatsink, with four thermal pads transferring heat from the board into the shell. iUniker rates it for normal 24/7 workloads like Pi-hole, Home Assistant, light Jellyfin, media centers, and coding labs. For overclocking or sustained heavy processing, monitor temperatures and add airflow.

Is the Raspberry Pi 4 included?

No. The package contains the aluminum case, 4 thermal pads, rubber feet, a screwdriver, a screw set, and a user guide. You supply the Raspberry Pi 4 Model B board separately.

Can I still reach the GPIO pins and swap the SD card?

Yes. The case is designed with openings for the GPIO header area, SD card access, USB-C power, micro HDMI, Ethernet, and the USB ports, so occasional project wiring and card swaps stay accessible.

What do I need to do before installing the board?

Remove the TF/SD card first, or you risk damaging the card or the board. Then peel the white or clear protective films off all four thermal pads before seating the Pi in the case.
