passive cooling
The case doesn't have a fancy look, but I like it's passive cooling. I could easily run the Orange Pi 5 plus without plugging the fan. The highest temperature stays at 58 celsius degree with 95% of CPU usage. And it's price is cheap

Hard to install and doesn’t touch the chips without mods
I don’t normally do reviews but I felt this was needed, don’t bother unless you’re handy and have resources to mod it.The fan it comes with is junk barely moves air at all, I used a 5v blower fan I had left over from another project.Stock the heat pads don’t make contact with the chips and the nvme drive isn’t level across so it doesn’t contact the bottom evenly. As you can see from my pics I used some spacers I 3d printed all M3 size off thiniverse, a 1mm for the nvme standoff and 7.6mm all around (even where there was no screw in the middle to keep the board from bending) and hand tightened them one turn at a time going crossways until it was all snug. It does look amazing though. I’ll post the cooling performance and name of the fan when I can update but I wouldn’t do it again if I was purchasing another one! They need to seriously update the design.

Poor contact with ICs; difficult assembly
Overall: OK heatsink/case, but if I find any better designs, I will replace itCons:- The assembly was very fiddly (seems like the obvious design choice would have been to leverage the mounting holes for OEM heatsink so that the top heatsink can be fixed in place...)- Stand-offs are used rather than shaping the metal to conform to board (without standoffs, the top heatsink rests on the E-key M.2 slot)- The thermal pads are extremely thick, and don't transfer heat particularly well (with standoffs installed, top heatsink is ~5mm or more from RK3388 IC)- Bottom heatsink is ~5mm from NVMe drive -- no thermal pad is provided to help dissipate heat into bottom heatsink- Fan position/orientation does not really allow airflowPros:- Heatsink cases look badass- Much thinner than other case options- Better than nothing
