Seems to work well. No problems.

Pretty good at cooling - there are heatsinks for almost every chip in the Raspberry Pi 4I use my Raspberry Pi 4 for Home Assistant with a lot of add-ons so it tends to get a little warm from time to time. These heat sink is great at helping keep it cool.The fan is pretty small and I ended up not installing it originally due to case size and it was still able to cool the Raspberry Pi with just the heatsinks on top of the CPU chip. After I installed the fan on there it did cool it off a bit more.I usually ran average around 95-100 before installation and now run 89 to 93 when idle. Even when I crank up the processing power it ends up cooling it back off faster than without this. The room my Pi sits in is 73 degrees so it isn't the coldest already.There are directions on where to put the pins to have it run full speed (I chose this) or to have it run in quiet mode. I can't hear the fan either way, but I do have a case fan that makes a lot more noise.Overall, glad that I ordered this. It is easy to remove the sticky backing and put it right on the chip sets and you will see at least 5 degrees Fahrenheit of cooling at the minimum.

I purchased this to install on a Libre Computer Board AML-S905X-CC (Le Potato) build (similar to Raspberry Pi 3/3b) and it does what it was designed to do. The problem for me is only the MAIN heatsink works for my Libre Computer board because the chips used on these boards are very different compared to the Raspberry Pi 3/3b. I wasn't aware of this until I received my board and this fan kit, so there is no reason to blame anyone but myself, and this fan kit is everything it is supposed to be. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone with a Raspberry Pi (any), but if you have a Libre Computer Board like I do, you might want a different design/kit.

Put this on a Raspberry Pi 3B+ that lives inside my 3D printer enclosure running OctoPrint. I noticed it was getting hot on long print jobs, and this little fan and heat sync cooled it down perfectly.
