Verdict

The Argon NEO case receives mixed reviews, with some praising its solid construction and passive cooling capabilities, while others criticize its lack of ventilation and difficulty in assembly. Many users recommend using a fan hat to improve cooling, but note that modifications may be necessary to make it work with the case. Some users also report issues with screws and customer service. Overall, the Argon NEO is a decent option for those looking for a basic, all-metal case for their Raspberry Pi 4, but may not be suitable for those who require more advanced cooling solutions.

Most of my fleet of Raspberry Pi 4b devices are either in Argon ONE M.2 or V2 cases.

Didn’t fit new Poe hat

I read all the reviews and got this case, thinking it could replace my flirc after I got a Poe+ hat. There are a couple of capacitors under the hat that needs you to tilt this to get all the pins inside the hat while the other side is raised. I got a riser for the gpio pins and that helped except no...

Argon NEO case (passive cooling), pi at 25% with 43 degree, or Argone ONE (it have a small fan) if it is not too big for you!

Can't assemble properly with supplied screws

Tried attaching the plastic bottom cover to the metal base but none of the 6 supplied screws are long enough to grab the threads in the mounting holes next to the GPIO pins. All of the screws appear to be the same M2.5 x 6mm, but none of them are actually 6mm long. I measured all of them and each an...

Very solid case, a bit tight-fitting

Excellent case with very solid construction. The fit of the RPI and their extender board into the case is very tight and made it a challenge to get the gpio headers lined up and the boards to pop into the case as flanges on some of the connectors on the RPI collided with the edge of the case. The fo...

Metal/heatsink is great, the plastic and screws are terrible.

This product is great for cooling. Holds its own with any other passive metal heatsink cooling solution for the pi 4. Good temps even with moderate overclocking. I assembled this item with the upmost care and did not overtighten the screws. See the pictures, the plastic cracked within seconds, and t...

First off, I like the case, hence 4 stars for my review. It is solid, looks good, and isn't too big. But I have two issues with it. First, during assembly, one of the four screw holes on the bottom stripped. I did not over tighten, the screw just never stopped spinning. The other three holes are fin...
