Note: New Stock from Jan 2020 onwards comes with only TWO thermal tapes. One for CPU and another for RAM IC.
This is a super elegant and practical armor case for Raspberry Pi 4 Model B. It is an upgraded version to support Raspberry Pi 4 Model B, great!
Frankly speaking, it is not an enclosure or case, it should be called heatsink because the case itself is CNC aluminum and comes with thermal paste/tape to effectively dissipate heat generated from the processor, RAM IC. Furthermore, it is also integrated with two cooling fans (assembled, but not fasten to the case), just connect the power to run it. Not to worry the Wifi Signal is not affected due to case open design.
Check out this video, although it's not exactly this version of the case, the assembly steps are the same:
In the video, the thermal tape is not sticking to the case. But we do advise sticking the thermal tape to the respective IC. Without the thermal tape, there will be an air gap between the case and Raspberry Pi, and as we know, the air is a heat insulator :( So please paste the thermal tape. Don't panic, you can simply attach it to the case as shown below.
Note: Please avoid sticking the tape on the RPi 4B so that you can reuse the case with other RPi. Stick the side with a white sticker to the case.
The picture below shows the connection of the fan to the Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+. However, the connection is just the same for Raspberry Pi 4 Model B as the GPIO pinout is the same for both models.
Note: Raspberry Pi main board is NOT Included.
