    Good price but no need for it atm.
    I have heard some of the previous owners report that the fan is very noisy.
    I still have the Pi version 2 and 3 that I have not use, only use it for a few hours in total :).
    Thinking of offload them for cheap.

    • WhySoSerious on 25/07/2020 - 14:35

      I second that. I recently bought one of these (from a different seller) and i can confirm that the fan is indeed noisy. People may claim it is because id the misconnecting fan cable but i exactly followed what was advised in the instruction manual. It is not super loud, but loud enough to notice.

        I have a couple of pi4s - the best for noise etc is the one with the eleduino case - it is metal, now profile, has silent fans…

      @ Black Hole
      "I have heard some of the previous owners report that the fan is very noisy."
      Only if jumpers are attached to the incorrect GPIO pins incorrectly.

      My PI 4 runs so quietly I have to peek inside the vents to see if the red led is on to know if it is running.

      Strictly Price to performance it's a little better, but the Pi4 is a massive leap in performance on its own.

      I stick with Pi mostly for the community support it has.

      Can't really go wrong either way.

        Community and software support makes a huge difference. For some tasks the slow RPi can be faster simply because there is better support for it.

        I have bought a couple of non RPi boards and ended up very disappointed with one and not that happy/limited by the other.

        Having said that, the RPi boards aren't perfect and they still haven't obtained anything like the full performance from the GPU on the RPi 4.

        • Wonderfool on 26/07/2020 - 14:53

          Well, vulkan got ported to pi3, so we might see it in pi4 someday.

      I've seen people put Android (not AndroidTV) on a pi. So yeah, you could make an Android-based streaming box out of this but I'm not sure I'd bother.

      As the resulting setup wouldn't be certified (Widevine DRM etc) I'm not even sure you'd get 1080 out of Netflix on it, let alone 4K, plus you're gonna have some cobbled together way of interfacing with it as you won't have a remote.

      There's an unofficial LineageOS build doing rounds. Can probably use that. However, since the pi4 has a different architecture and the build is strictly unofficial, you lose out on all the goodness of the upgrade. For example, stable 4k output.

      I tried making an android box out of my pi4, but eventually gave up as it was too buggy for a media center (which is something I want to set up and forget). I've now switched back to LibreElec + Kodi for my streaming needs.

      It's a hobby board, so you can do what ever you want. You can run pi-hole, stream stuff, NAS, install linux, make HAT systems or do gpio programming with a breadboard.

    • WhySoSerious on 25/07/2020 - 15:08

      With some programming knowledge, you can have services like plex, NAS or custom apis/workers running 24x7. There are heaps of possibilities. For example, my LG tv doesnt support smart home assistant integration. So i developed a system that works around this limitation and enables alexa to control my tv.

  • OzzyBrak on 25/07/2020 - 12:21

    I got this same kit for $122 pre-covid. It represents pretty good value with all of the inclusions, however the fan is way too loud to be used. You'd either need to run it at lower voltage or try and build a PWM circuit for it.

  • mrshorty on 25/07/2020 - 12:22

      Man, set it up as a pihole. Such a great device for router DNS ad blocking

      • neonlight on 27/07/2020 - 08:29

        So pihole is just dns server…. I'm guessing you just point all your devices to it for DNS blocking ads. Else how can it sit between devices and router

        • drjamie on 27/07/2020 - 10:30

          yes its acting as the dns server, very easy to setup and run, no impact on speed of browsing. And easy to modify whitelists if something is being blocked that you don't want blocked.

          • neonlight on 27/07/2020 - 13:00

            @drjamie: I have a synology NAS, in that case I might be able to get PiHole running DNS that way without Raspberry Pi. Unsure how to get started, maybe get it on docker? heard you cannot block youtube ads with it due to servers are the same as content what's the workaround?

            • drjamie on 28/07/2020 - 13:19

              @neonlight: I assume you've jumped onto the pihole website, all the distributions are there along with quite clear instructions about how to install the various distros.

              https://pi-hole.net/

              I only have experience installing on raspberry pi and that was very straightforward. The device sits next to my router its a model 2b and just does its job without any issues. I run it headless and just ssh into it if I want to manually update the lists, and i've got it set to clear the logs each week.

        • fookos on 28/07/2020 - 15:37

          Mmmm… interesting - I bought the above deal, but also have an older model 3B lying around somewhere that I could use for this. Also have a Pi Zero, but not sure if that will have sufficient grunt.

          I assume any devices at home you don't want running through the piHole just don't need to be pointed to it? Correct?

          Don't see need for games consoles, for example, requiring it. Or is there value there to?

    Cooler Master have a Kickstarter for a Raspberry Pi case that is passively cooled but still allows for overclocking, and you can slso can get it with a RP4 4GB for about $128.

    • fookos on 25/07/2020 - 15:07

      Or without the Pi for about $45 delivered.

      Anyone know if this will be commercially available from Coolermaster after the Kickstarter too? Looks like they’re going to release the schematics as open source so maybe this is their only production run?

      • garage sale on 25/07/2020 - 16:00

        love to see some chinese copies readily available once their prod run is finished ……got a CNC case from ebay, but slight gap between cpu and case and has to shim with thin copper sheet rather than just thermal compound.

  • virtual81 on 25/07/2020 - 14:23

    I have a 4gb Pi4 and as others have found under a heavy load it overheats and throttles as a naked board or in a basic enclosure.

    To save others the research, a light breeze over the system is enough to solve the issue (surprisingly works well even without heat sinks), but requires a fan to impliment.
    Enclosures that contact the CPU and RAM that offer passive cooling also work exceptionally will with no added noise.

    I have the Argon One case - https://www.argon40.com/catalog/product/view/id/52/s/argon-o…
    The included fan is controlled by a GPIO pin and spins up under high temps.
    Mine has never once spun, the passive cooling alone is sufficient, temps not really passing 50c under extreme load.

    Not yet tried overclocking, but with the excellent passive cooling and custom fan curves (currently kicks in at 55c by default if i recall) i don't think overclocking would be any concern.

    I think the Argon Neo case also cops good reviews and has no fan at all.

    Anyway, can't stress enough, SOMETHING needs to be done about cooling, else it will throttle on peaks or heavy load.

    • jjsnacks on 25/07/2020 - 17:31

      I bought this setup but realised the cut down iot version of raspberry im using doesn't support apt get so I can't install the fan script, so the fun just runs full speed all the time .. only has opkg and I have no idea how to program it up!

    • temperature on 25/07/2020 - 17:38

      I have the Argon Neo fanless case and it's great. Admittedly I am not doing intensive number crunching.
      I bought from Core Electronics in Newcastle who are great local vendor. Not the absolute cheapest deal but it arrived at my house the next day I could not be happier with the results.

  • [Deactivated] on 25/07/2020 - 14:53

      • [Deactivated] on 25/07/2020 - 15:13

        I have but none really stand out, the only thing I could think of would be a good tracker under 5g, that has a magnet and does not need a sim card, that connects based on peoples phones for positioning positioning other then that can't see any thing else.

        Or is used to scramble facial recognition when in close proximity.

        Yeah maybe this device isn't even in the ball park.

      Try them out at least once.

      • [Deactivated] on 25/07/2020 - 15:20

        Ahh those YouTube videos don't really help, especially GitHub it's a graveyard of old code, especially with python.

        Java raspberry pie isn't bad, given android is of that, but I was just emphasising what the case study would be, not a set top box, or light switch, or spy camera, well yes but no.

        Ah an autonomous drone would be epic 😦 sadly it would need a ssd based chipboard.

        The only raspberry pi item I have is based of Linux, it tricks the computer into thinking it's a peripheral or ethernet, and allows to bipass firewalls.

        Don't use it much.
