The Tinker Dad | DIY Raspberry Pi 4 Cooler - It's a Monster And I Love It! @TheTinkerDad | Uploaded June 2020 | Updated October 2024, 8 minutes ago.
Here's a quick project - I needed a cooler for a Raspberry Pi 4 server and I needed a powerful one, so I've made one and the result... well, it's beyond my wildest expectations!
Parts needed:
- A 3D printed adapter (Thigiverse: thingiverse.com/thing:4591456 )
- A small heatsink for the Raspberry's CPU - pretty much any heatsink will do.
- A cheap 12cm cooler - you don't need a fancy PWM one, as we'll chop off its connector anyway.
- A USB cable/cord - you can cut it off from a dead USB mouse, etc. Basically what you need is a cable with a working USB-A connector on one end.
- Some screws
Here's the command I've used for stress testing:
"sysbench --threads=4 --validate=on --cpu-max-prime=50000000 cpu run"
