    Those who have this, is the fan noise that bad?

    • CaveDevil on 03/09/2020 - 23:42
      +3

      There's two options for installing a fan on a raspberry pi, they involve connecting one lead to a ground pin and the other to either a 3.3v pin or a 5v pin. As you might imagine. the fan spins a bit slower on 3.3v and so isn't as loud.

      I've only ever used the 3.3v and it's pretty reasonable.

    • et tu brute on 04/09/2020 - 00:23

      @GeekoMatic
      No. Mine is quiet.. some folks attach the leads to the incorrect GPIO pins pm the M/board resulting in noisy fan. My eyesight is not that good at the moment (cataracts) but a little help from a magnifier light and YouTube videos and I got it right first time.

      Mine is so quiet that I need to peek inside the case holes to check if the little red LED is on.

      P.S. These are nicely prepared and packaged kits. Build time 10-15 mins tops…

      Edit: Since posting this, CaveDevil has the right answer above re the pin voltages.

    • netsurfer on 04/09/2020 - 11:42

      If people are saying use 3.3V instead of 5V, doesn't that imply the fan is a bit too loud on 5V?

      I have an el cheap case which comes with the fan, I put it in 5V and it is fine. I actually made a mini circuit to control the fan speed based on temperature, not because of the fan noise, but trying to save some electricity. Also, one annoying thing with just standard fan 2 pins setup is that, when you shutdown on Pi, the 5V and 3V feeds remain on, so the fan continues spinning even though the Pi is down (but power still connected). The mini circuit addresses the issue as the control IO pin doesn't feed any current when Pi is in shutdown state, thus the transistor switches off so fan is off.

      The more expensive case with integrated fans have software control and that's why you see them take multiple pins on the GPIO. With this case as is, you are stuck with always on option.

      Hobby. The default browser is Chromium (not Chrome).
      youTube through Chromium requires a hack to run decent for 1080p/30. 1080p/60 still not very pleasant.

      People get them due to 3D printer support, home assistant (home automation needs a 24x7 mini server at least and even a lightweight PC seems like an overkill) and anything else that needs linux.

    I've got 1 of these setup for the 5yo to play minecraft full version on (takes a bit of setting up as its not natively supported, but works fine), and also to stream his shows on.

    I got a second one that runs Docker. I have 2 main containers in docker. One container is running transmission tunneled through a vpn. The other container is running a plex server. I have also set up samba on it to have the HDD's that are USB3 connected to serve as a NAS.

    I have a 3rd raspberry pi that I bought 8 years ago, Model 2b, and that just runs pihole.

    If you are wondering what you could use this for, I think there a multiple excellent reasons to buy, but best advice is have a defined project that you want.

    • Tunblor on 04/09/2020 - 09:01

      What format is the media that the Plex Server is serving? How's performance in this role?

      • drjamie on 04/09/2020 - 12:42

        It serves up 4k HDR 10bit media to my nvidia shield devices as direct play without problems. It probably can't do more than 3 streams at once. And it can't transcode 4k (ie if you're trying for remote viewing)

    • zetmandude on 04/09/2020 - 10:29

      yes, a second hand Lenovo thinkcenter tiny will be much better as a NAS or media PC. plenty of those on ebay for around 150 with i5 CPU.
      raspberry pi is for play not production.

      • TRAVELO on 04/09/2020 - 10:42

        No, raspberry pi has actual production value. It's small, discreet form, stable and reliable. We use it for digital signage and manage from the cloud for a bunch of clients.

  • thanatos350 on 04/09/2020 - 10:02

      I won't say cool but some useful things are: downloading machine, parsec stream gaming on big TV, Kodi media centre.

        Ethernet is now on a seperate BUS, and the USB bus is now much bigger. Definitely cheap NAS capable.

    I have been told that due to national holiday, they were unable to respond to my request of tracking number. Even though the replied advising of a national holiday…. when asking for a refund the following day, the next day after, it was another national holiday….. funny that.

    I have requested a refund, have been advised it will take 3 days. I haven't received the funds yet, but I have received the note from the shop that the refund will be processed. We will see.

    Strongly suggest to avoid labist in the future.

    Anyways yesterday after I complained yet again, they informed me they had cancelled my order and a refund would be given in 3 days as well. I have already received the email confirming the cancellation.

    I too would advise others to avoid them in the future and wait for Amazon deals or try other sellers.

    • Dubakur Modi on 12/10/2020 - 23:28

      Make sure you get the same amount. These guys doing money laundering business I think. Make deal when AUD vs USD is very low and return the amount when gaining. I lost AUD 25 money hasn't been credited yet.

      It's a fraud business for sure. Need to be reported.

  • Dubakur Modi on 12/10/2020 - 21:55

    Its a fraud business. They won't post your product for months. They do money exchange business with our money. Fraud website and these cocks*cks need to be punished.

    I make purchase on 7th September 2020 for AUD $264.19 for USD191.99 and they didn't send the product for month when I contact them on Friday 9th Oct they said it will arrive on 12th Oct without any tracking number it didn't arrive ( since they didn't posted it at all) and I ask them to refund they refund AUD $239 for USD 191.99. They s*cks need to be exposed.

    • overkillxx on 20/10/2020 - 18:58

      Do you have any evidence to state this is a fraud business? Im still waiting as well.. If they don't post my order before end of month I will simply request for money back & if they try any games there a chargeback is in order.

      I cannot find anything on the Internet that implies they are a total scam. Yes, crap service (What we are experiencing) but nothing that suggest they are a scam operation.

  • overkillxx on 20/10/2020 - 18:50

    • Dubakur Modi on 20/10/2020 - 22:07

      They return the money there is no issue in that. But you need to aware since they charge in USD there is a chance if exchange rate differs you might lose money or gain money. Go with Amazon sales for any pi product that is the lesson I learned.
