BlueRigger HDMI to DVI Cable 6FT vs Geekworm P173 Heavy Duty Passive Cooling… — Head-to-Head (2026)

Our verdict

Geekworm P173 Heavy Duty Passive Cooling… is our pick.

For a Raspberry Pi 4 build in 2026, the Geekworm P173 passive aluminum case is the better budget purchase, because it addresses the Pi 4's actual limiting factor — sustained SoC thermals — while the BlueRigger HDMI-to-DVI cable only matters if you happen to own a DVI-D display. These are complementary accessories rather than rivals: the P173 changes how your Pi performs, the BlueRigger changes what it can plug into.

Buy the BlueRigger HDMI to DVI Cable 6FT if you have a DVI-D (24+1) or DVI-I (24+5) monitor, projector, or KVM you need to drive from a Pi, Mac mini, PS5/PS4/PS3, Xbox, Roku, or a graphics card, and you want a single bi-directional 6 ft run instead of a dongle stack. Buy the Geekworm P173 Heavy Duty Passive Cooling Aluminum Case if you're running a Raspberry Pi 4 Model B (1/2/4/8 GB) under sustained load — a headless server, Pi-hole, NAS front-end, retro emulation box, or overclocked desktop — and you want fanless, silent, zero-moving-parts cooling from a 174 g heatsink chassis.
