SoC pillar is too tall for 1mm thermopad. Either cut it down 0.5mm or provide 0.5mm thermopads. Had to trim the pad in half otherwise rPi board was bowing.

Hi, sorry, it must be related with some invidual thermal pads, you can thermal grease to replace it to get better dissaption.

In the dual fan version, are the fans always on? Or they turn on on-demand when the temp rises?

Hi friend, The fan is always on if it is connected, please try to contact the fan to 3.3V and GND for quiet cooling mode if the temperate is not high.

I do have a design improvement suggestion. One disadvantage of running the armor case is there is no ability to mount any hats to the top of the case even though with the Pi 4 GPIO extensions are provided.

The improvement would be putting mounting screw holes on the top of the case to allow a hat to be mounted but mounted high enough to allow for air flow on the heat sink, likely with a extension installed.

Love the armor case! I modified mine, shaved paint off the contacts, shaved the legs until the cpu contact came in contact with the pad, put thermal compound on the cpu and the pads on the contacts of the 2 other chips. Without a fan I'm seeing 42 to 45C with light use, 65 under load.

With a fan I'm seeing 28 to 29C with light use and 42 under load.

I take that back, I miss typed. 34C under load with a fan but I'm also using a ridiculously fast 12v fan off my 12v power supply that feeds my 12 to 5v regulator. I plan to swap this out later for a Noctua 5v fan with a mosfet to be controlled by the Pi.

For fan controls for the Pi do a search for Pi speed control.

Bottom piece doesn't need anymore RAM cooling, as RAM is upper side, for case with fan.

I want to check if the SD card can be covered by the case. As it put the card in a much safer place then.

Only the very edge of the SD card sticks out just as it would without the case.
