Raspberry Pi 4 now has an official case with fan cooling. The Raspberry Pi Foundation has announced a number of exciting products this year. The Raspberry Pi 4 is one of the star products, but also the Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4 or the interesting Raspberry Pi 400, a keyboard with an integrated computer. Now a new product has been added to the catalog, it is a fan.

Now more humble than a liquid cooling system, the new Raspberry Pi Foundation fan is officially designed for the Raspberry Pi 4. It comes integrated with separate housing for this small computer.
Raspberry Pi 4 (and other models as well) can reach considerably high temperatures when sent through complex processes. This has a direct consequence on the physical appearance of the computer: it gets very hot due to the processes.
The Raspberry Pi 4 Case Fan is a fan that costs only $5. It is designed to be attached to the Raspberry Pi 4 with a case. But it also comes with a plate to dissipate the heat that sticks to the processor. From there you only have to place the (very small) fan inside the case and connect it to a power port inside the Raspberry Pi 4 itself.
The temperatures that can be reached inside the Raspberry Pi 4 can be up to 80 °C. However, with this official fan, the heat can be reduced to 70 °C. This is certainly a great idea for those who put a lot of work into the Raspberry Pi 4 on a daily basis.
