I’ve given up waiting for the Argon Pi5 NVME case (my delivery date keeps moving backwards) so I’ve just ordered one of the 2280 versions of this from Amazon and as a Prime order it will be delivered tomorrow by 1pm. When the Argon one eventually arrives I’ll compare the running temps with 2280 SSDs. Thanks for the timely video. 👏

I think I'm going to hold out for the Argon case, due to the WiFi problem. I have an Argon case on one of my pi 4s and with the plastic bottom shell, it doesn't seem to interfere with the WiFi at all. I have two of my pis on ethernet, but there is no cableing to the room my desk is in, and I have no intention to crawl in the attic or crawlspace to run one.

@@jbuchana I get around this by connecting a remote Pi4, running as a Roon Endpoint in a Pi Touch case which isn’t good for Wi-Fi , to an Ethernet PoE switch and the switch is then connected to a UniFi Wireless Access Point via Ethernet which also powers the AP. I also have 3 other devices in that room connected to the same Ethernet switch and they all share the Wi-Fi connection with no performance problems. [I live in a 300 year old house with very thick solid walls so I get really annoying dead spots].

0:58 the little ridge that goes around the brass fitting fits in the NVME drive recess where the screw would normally secure it to the post and acts as a sort of retention bracket or tab for the drive. It screws into the board from the other side. Many PCIE NVME/M.2 SATA adaptors use them because they're about as low profile as you can get. It acts as both the post and the screw, this way board doesn't have an m.2 nut that has to be removed to fit a longer m.2 drive.

Thank you

I just put one together with this case, a official cooler and a 1001 NVME adapter. I like it!

Would love to see a case that supports both NVMe and PoE.

Great video but would be nice to compare wi-fi speed with and without case. I have concerns about metal case that is not for outdoor usage.

Great case, keeping the raspberry pi OS quite cool.. SD card once inserted in some cases are hard to take out, just because how they mold it, and how it overlaps the complete socket. This doesn't seem to be the issue with this very case here. It is kind of a bummer, that the wifi turned out weak. That is the only thing keeping me away from this. Thanks Lee. By the way Lee, Update on Crimson OS: XFCE version was uploaded and today I will upload the LXQT version and finally the Crimson Desktop Edition (CrDE) tomorrow. A thing to note: upon installing an app from pi-apps, it initially opens up a terminal and yellow highlighted text begins to appear informing that system is incompatible. However, an additional script has been provided which works after 10 seconds of the message. Thus, an app installation will require 10 seconds wait-time before it actually initializes the install process. The reason for this behavior is forking various branches, repositories, which the pi-apps thinks are incompatible. Whenever You Get Time, Thanks, Another Great Video, Pradyot Pachore

Just ordered #4 NVme Adapter and Patriot P310 2280 SSD😎

Thanks for checking WiFi with the case, that was missing in the review of the previous 52Pi metallic case. Just FYI, I have that other one case and the WiFi signal does not get as much affected as with this one.

Very good that the PCB and case top have holes for the air flow. Why don't they put the M.2 on the side of the board instead of right above the CPU? An alternative option is to have the M.2 2242 / 2230 *orthogonal to the board, and near the USB plugs* (with a hole in the PCB board where the CPU is located) to keep the air flowing off the CPU. *KDiskMark*, the HDD / SSD benchmark tool, is also very convenient for speed tests (Qt based, no dependencies to KDE although the name may suggest the opposite)

I got the Geekworm NVME hat and metal case. Seems similar to this setup. Really solid setup and works great. My only complaint is that the Geekworm case doesn't do anything special with the power button like the official case does.

I'd like to see more head to head comparisons of these with the Geekworm P579/X1001 combo as they're awfully similar in design and price. Which is better?

So many hindrances with that annoyingly placed PCI cable... I'm waiting on the CM5 version to which Waveshare will surely add the M.2 slot right underneath exactly like the brilliant CM4 version

If you feed the cable thru the hole before attaching and clamping you remove the possibility of cracking ribbon cable wires.

These are so similar to the Geeekworm cases that I’d be shocked if they had different OEMs lol

Straight up pi5 with nvme is as performative as a $400 laptop 6-7 years ago which imo is pretty impressive and unlike that old machine is still supported

Is there a good case where the ssd below the pi and a good cooler on top ?

Great video, thanks. Do you think that (buying the N05 and the Metal Case For Pi5,support N04 & N05 & Active Cooler) there is space enough to use a NVMe with a heatsink or the heatsink occupy too much space? Thanks

@leepspvideo

Ай бұрын

Some smaller heatsinks will fit, the NVME doesn’t get too hot in my experience with Pi 5. Maybe in a hot climate. More tests with nvme temps shown here Raspberry Pi 5 Overclocking beyond 3Ghz. 4GB & 8GB models Benchmarked kzread.info/dash/bejne/Za6g1seQoJnYn5M.html

Might've been nice if the top of the case could've been used as a heat sink for the NVMe drive. Maybe the next version...

I still feel that the ssd belongs on the bottom so that it is easier to cool the cpu. Maybe I'm wrong but blocking the cpu cooling just doesn't work for me. Thanks for all you share. Maybe all those holes for cooling will work. I'm sure you'll tell us at some time.

Almost looks like it could take a Pimoroni NVMe base on the bottom, almost. Bit more space and ribbon cable consideration would be the crux there. Prefer a base-fitted one, keeps your cooling options open. Using a modded Raspberry case with mine currently, and NVMe base works well. But really would like a metal larger one when the market selections stabilise, or something that's just - that one jumps out. Have to pop the lid off the Rasberry one for those peak moments and the heatsink cooler(good price that one Raspberry).

Exactly, I don’t know why these companies are designing hats to use an NVME SSD. Heat is definitely something that needs to be considered.

🙋

Did you have to take it apart to plug the active cooler into the fan socket? Saw that it wasn't connected when the hat was reattached after popping the cooler onto the rpi5.

@leepspvideo

2 ай бұрын

I did

It’s a sticker, use something small and poke it out and then use the screw provided.

I respect the engineering here but is that fan intake not being blocked on top with all the solutions? Unfortunately the major fail of all this is either not allowing enough height for airflow OR if it's underneath then it'd be potentially blocking several ports with a ribbon cable (unless it was customized in some other way).

Hi, after watching your video I decided to bite the bullet and get my Pi5 and the various bits you mention in this video as this was the build route I had chosen, but had not decided on a case (was going with an Argon), so thanks for the video.
