There is no RPM control so the fan spins at constant RPM value, but the overall fan isn’t disturbing. During the benchmark, the temperature settled at 45✬ which was about 5✬ improvement over the 52pi Power Board. Once again I used the cpuburn.a53 stress test to put the CPU clock at the max value and run the test, monitoring the temperature. Previously, I run the same tests with 52pi Power Board that comes with a 30mm fan mounted directly over the CPU bringing the temperature of the CPU at idle to about 32-35✬. The Raspberry Pi 4 idles around 50✬ without any heatsink, but with the 52pi ICE Cooling Tower installed that temperature drops to 30✬. The metal bracket exposes the 40-Pin GPIO header, 4-pin PoE socket, camera and display ports as well, but for obvious reasons, you won’t be able to use any HATs once the 52pi ICE Cooling Tower is mounted. Why no other boards despite the similar layout? Older boards are missing the CPU heatsink which raises the profile a little bit.ĥ2pi ICE-Cooling Tower comes with an acrylic base, the 40mm fan featuring RGB LEDs (random colour effect), a metal mounting bracket and stand-off with nuts and bolts to keep everything in place.

The 52pi ICE Cooling Tower is compatible with Raspberry Pi 3B+ and Raspberry Pi 4 only. A 40mm fan wrapped around aluminium fins creates the perception that the whole cooling block is mounted on something much more powerful than a Raspberry Pi 4 ( Seeed studio‘s got you covered if you need the latest RPI4 board). There is no denying that 52pi ICE Cooling Tower looks like a cooling beast.

Plus it looks like a monster, which no doubt will get some “likes” on my Instagram! Raspberry Pi 4 and 52pi ICE Cooling Tower The only exception to this is on the first robot that gets through, that's a freebie and will not hurt your. Each robot that enters the portal in the center, will reduce your HP by 1. The goal is to survive as long as you can, with 25 HP to start. It was designed to be a true test of skill, planning, optimization, and monster placement strategy. Thanks to Seeed Studio, I got my hands on 52pi ICE Cooling Tower, therefore I wanted to share a couple of thoughts in regards to cooling efficiency and performance of this Raspberry Pi accessory. Challenge Mode is a minigame for Idle Monster TD. Challenge Mode is a minigame for Idle Monster TD. The short answer is: Ice-cool! The long answer depends on your needs and a couple of other factors.
