This is a placeholder topic for “Aluminium Heatsink Case for Raspberry Pi 4 Black (Passive Cooling, Silent)” comments.
Why use a heatsink and a case, when you can use a heatsink case?! This sleek, anodised aluminium case for Raspberry Pi 4 will give you 10-15°C of passive cooling under full CPU load. Pretty cool.

I designed a 3D printable bracket to allow this case to be secured to a panel for a mobile application. Details here:

if your over clocking i would go with this unit it has dual fans …in my op passive just does not cut it for over clocking…i suggest this unit it looks like the extra vesa adapter the guy made will still adapt to it…

This will be my go to for a basic setup …
Tested a couple of programmable fan modules and in my opinion, this passive cooler worked better.
In all my PC experience, processors need a heat sink and the air flow to remove the heat from around the heat sink. The fan modules were very close to the board not allowing the use of heat sinks. The fans were right over the processor but the hear ramped up much quicker than this passive device. Not using a heat sink caused a PC processor to die pretty quick some years back.
As @brian86770 said above if you are overclocking; the Dual Fan Aluminium Heatsink Case for the Raspberry Pi 4 Black would be the one.
