Akasa Pi-4 Pro Raspberry Pi 4 Case Review

Performance
While I could have shown you the port holes earlier, I figured it makes more sense to do it now, as you can see the ports from the PI-4B PCB more clearly now. On the front, you have a USB C port, two micro-USB ports, and the 3.5mm audio jack.
Down the side, you’ll find two USB 2.0 ports, and two USB 3.0 ports, as well as the LAN port.
There’s a small slot on the other side, allowing you to add/remove the MicroSD card.
Then you have a longer cut-out allow you to pass through cables to the I/O pins.
Of course, the main feature of this case is… well, the case! It’s designed to be completely silent and to passively cool the Pi-4B. If you’re gaming on the Pi, it can get a little hot and you won’t be able to overclock it without some kind of cooling. A tiny fan can do the job, but if you want silence, you’ll be happy you invested in this case. I was able to run some of my arcade images with full overclocking modes turned on with zero issues or overheating. Heck, even the case didn’t ever really seem to get much above room temperature. Check out the arcade stuff here, it’s in my previous Akasa case review!
