The main parts of the case are made from aluminum and there are two plastic caps for the top and the bottom of the case. The Flirc case is really well made and great looking. and why I really do recommend that case for everyone using Raspberry Pi Model B 2/3 Let me get a bit more into details and you will see for yourself why I really like the case and find it very useful. Not to mention that it is usable for pretty much whatever task you decide to utilize the RPi for. The best thing about it is that the case is officially being sold for just $14.95 USD, so it is good and yet really cheap for what you actually get. The Flirc Raspberry Pi case was designed as a good looking, functional and inexpensive case for Raspberry Pi users that want to turn the RPi board into a multimedia player with Kodi (the former XBMC) or other player. The Flirc Raspberry Pi Case to the Rescue While it will not actually overheat and burn out such high temperatures are definitely what you would want to be getting out of your RPi 3 when it is under load, regardless of what you are using it for - a processing unit or a multimedia center. all the way over 85 degrees Celsius as you can see on the thermal image of the Broadcom chip of a Raspberry Pi 3 that I have taken out of curiosity.
Flirc case 720p#
If you try decoding a 720p H.265 video things get even hotter.
Flirc case 1080p#
When it is decoding 1080p H.264 video the Broadcom processor is quickly reaching over 55 degrees Celsius, when it is without any additional form of cooling on the processor. Here is an example with real tasks and the operating temperatures of the RPi 3. The issue with heat is more serious on the Raspberry Pi 3 than it was on the previous second generation, the Pi 3 can get up to about 40-50 degrees during normal operation and can heat even more under constant maximum load (see the thermal image of a Pi 3 board above). This means that you need to add passive cooling solution in order to keep your RPi cooler when it is under load, especially if you keep it under load for longer periods of time. The Raspberry Pi boards are getting more powerful with each next generation and while that means more processing power available for your computing needs it also means more power used and more heat generated. Let me tell you why I simply love the Flirc case and why you should probably get one for RPi 2/3 as well. Last year I have discovered the Flirc Raspberry Pi Case and ever since I have been using one for my Raspberry Pi 2 and when this year the RPi 3 came out I got another case for it as well. I have used various cases over the years - official ones, unofficial ones made from different materials and have even 3D printed some cases myself. The Raspberry is just a bare small computer board and it really needs a good case to help it look better and function problem free. The RPi is really great and I have been using it since the first generation came out a couple of years ago.
It is a compact, low power and very affordable solution for tasks that do not require too much computing power. The Raspberry Pi is a great little gadget to have handy and use for various things.
