Do these thermal pads have an Up/Down orientation?

Hey @Kingsley40,

Orientation of the thermal tape won’t matter for these guys!

The pimoroni site says “Stick the side that had the white paper on onto your Pi’s CPU (it’s the stickier of the two sides).”

My problem was removing the white paper.

My Pi now runs 20℃ cooler (and I haven’t turned on the fans)

Hi Ian,

Nice to hear you’re back on track!

Once sandwiched together, it doesn’t matter what way around they are. One side does have more tac than the other, which would likely be the side the pad sticks to if ever the case was disassembled.

Hi guys, are there mechanical drawings or a 3D model available for this heatsink, or even better, for the assembled case? Thank you

Hi Laurence,

Unfortunately I couldn’t find any drawings for this one, but I can measure any of the dimensions not listed on the product page if you like?

All the best with your projects!

Hi James,  
Thank you for your help, we also looked around for a model w/o success. We will pass on the physical device (Raspberry Pi and heatsinks assembled) to our mechanical design engineer and he can measure what he needs to to provide the support inside our chosen enclosure. That way they can also consider the cabling. We appreciate your support.  
Best regards,  
Laurence

Hi, I want to use this case with Pimoroni Touch – HyperPixel 4.0. Do I need another GPIO header riser or one is enough? Thanks

Hey Infinity.

Welcome to the forums!  
I think that one of these [GPIO extenders](https://core-electronics.com.au/extended-gpio-female-header-2x20-pin-16mm-7-30mm.html) should be sufficient for the screen. I do want to point out that you will be unable to use the fan as the Hyperpixel will take up all 40 pins. It may be better to use this [Passive Cooling Case](https://core-electronics.com.au/pimoroni-aluminium-heatsink-case-for-raspberry-pi-4-black.html) instead.

Cheers,  
Blayden

Can anyone help me find some good quality replacement fans for this case?

I’m using a frankencase I have made out of multiple cases which allows me to attach the hq camera, and then screw the case on to a camera mount inside my bearded dragon’s enclosure.

I have used the back half of this case on my frankencase because the extra heat inside the enclosure means I need active cooling to keep temps low.

The problem I’m having is the fans last a few months before emitting a very loud whizzing/buzzing noise. I have tried to lube the shafts up with sewing machine oil but that doesn’t last long.

Surely there has to be some good quality fans out there somewhere that are relatively quiet.

Hi Matt,

Welcome back!

I’ve had some good experiences with this fan: [Delta Electronics Frameless Fan | Buy in Australia | CE07175 | Core Electronics](https://core-electronics.com.au/delta-electronics-frameless-fan-47192.html)

Otherwise, Noctua is a brand that makes the rounds for fans, you’ll likely need a boost converter to step-up 5V from the Pi.
