Overview
Geekworm's P173 cools a Raspberry Pi 4 Model B with heatsink pillars and a copper shim instead of a fan, inside an aluminum case that keeps every port, the GPIO header, and the micro SD slot accessible. It fits the 1GB through 8GB Pi 4 boards.
This case is compatible only with the Raspberry Pi 4 Model B, not other Pi models, and thermal grease for the copper shim option isn't included.
- Passive aluminum case for Raspberry Pi 4 Model B (1GB-8GB)
- 4 built-in heatsink pillars plus a copper CPU shim
- All ports, GPIO header, and micro SD slot stay accessible
- Case weighs about 174 grams for added heat dissipation
Who it's for
Fits anyone building a silent, always-on Pi 4 project such as a Pi-hole box or a Home Assistant dashboard, where fan noise or dust intake is a problem. Less suited to sustained heavy loads that a fan-cooled case would keep cooler.
Pros and cons
- Thermal compound for the copper shim option isn't included
- Fits only the Raspberry Pi 4 Model B, no other Pi models
Performance notes
4 built-in heatsink pillars and an aluminum shell weighing about 174 grams draw heat off the board without a fan, and an included copper shim can replace the stock CPU thermal pad for better contact.

Frequently asked questions
Does the Geekworm P173 fit the Raspberry Pi 4?
Yes, it's built specifically for the Raspberry Pi 4 Model B in 1GB, 2GB, 4GB, or 8GB variants, and doesn't fit other Pi models.
Is the micro SD card easy to swap?
Not especially. A reviewer noted the slot cutout is narrow enough that removing the card usually needs needle-nose pliers.
