Designed For On-The-Go Users
Open source, Versatile Design
Standardized GPIO Layout
Pi Case 40 V2, the best performing passive cooling Raspberry Pi case on the market built for high portability and extra durability, has been upgraded with integrated user feedback. Now featuring standardized GPIO ports and a bonus jumper cable for an even wider range of hardware compatibility.
The Pi Case 40 V2 provides a long lasting, premium enclosure for Raspberry Pi pro-users, featuring a sleek aluminum shell, and a high grade TPU bumper for further protection. Once assembled, the system provides silent, efficient cooling without the need of an additional fan, even at high clock speeds thanks to the aluminum shell.
The Pi Case 40 V2 is the best performing passive cooling case of its kind on the market, thanks to the aluminum core which serves as a large heatsink, enabling higher GPU and CPU frequencies out of the box.
The Pi Case 40 V2 comes with a built-in multifunction button, set to power on/off by default. This button can be easily reconfigured to multiple actions via the dedicated Cooler Master designed, open source Pi Tool.
All ports are quickly accessible thanks to a no-interference design. Standardized GPIO ports are rotated 90 degrees and accessible via the side flap in the TPU bumper, allowing for protection when closed and easy access when opened. Display and camera connectors remain within the enclosure for extra protection, with a slit in the TPU bumper to allow cables to be routed outside.
Upgraded with a bonus jumper cable following a series of community feedback collection and implementation, enabling users with a requirement for HATs compatibility to make full use of the Pi Case 40 V2.
Disclaimer: - Pi case 40 V2 does not provide mechanical support for HATs, the jumper cable only provides a way to connect HATs to the system outside the enclosure in case of need.
4 VESA/wall mounting brackets come included to fix your Raspberry Pi to every surface and monitor.
The Pi Case 40 V2 is thoughtfully designed to be portable and durable, keeping your Raspberry Pi safe from impacts, minor liquid splashes, and light dust at all times.
Built as a passion project for the community, the Pi Case 40 V2 is designed to be open source, and fully customizable for a multitude of uses. Design assets are free to download and modified for 3D printing. Retro-compatibility, different mounting attachments, new colorations, customized top designs… anything is possible with the Pi Case 40 V2.
Compared to the first version, Pi Case 40 V2 now offers the original Raspberry Pi GPIO layout. This is to facilitate the use of devices that require 3 or more pins arranged according to the original layout of the internal board.
A new pinout legend is available on the side of the case, under the protective TPU flap.
Pi Tool allows users access to a basic set of overclocking profiles, tested and validated based on the thermal performance of Cooler Master's Pi Case 40 V2 enclosure, monitoring of system metrics, and assignment of multiple functions to the built-in button.
The Pi Tool can be installed on Raspberry Pi OS on a Raspberry Pi 4. Installing it is very simple: Just open a terminal, paste into it the code lines hosted on the Pi Case 40 V2 product page and hit enter.
The installer will then guide you through the installation.
curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/CoolerMasterTechnology/pi-tool/master/install.sh -o pi-tool-install.sh chmod +x pi-tool-install.sh ./pi-tool-install.sh
The overclocking feature included in Pi Tool modifies the following values in /boot/config.txt: over_voltage, arm_freq, gpu_freq.
Users can further modify the overclocking, by editing the values themselves.
⚠️ For this operation, a 3A 5V power supply is highly recommended.
Pi Tool offers a section dedicated to monitoring the system's status and performance, useful to track thermal output and clock speed when adjusting overclocking settings and to have a quick visual representation of the system's status.
Pi Case 40 V2 includes a button that shortens pin 5 and 6 when pressed (GPIO3 and GND). Out of the box, this allows us to wake up a Raspberry Pi from its halt state. Pi Tool builds upon this function by allowing users to not only assign a function to the button to be triggered when the system is running but also to set up sequences of short and long button presses, allowing additional functions to be triggered by the same button.
If you have any feature ideas, want to extend the tool with a button action or metric or found a bug, feel free to open an issue!
Make It Yours.
The design is free to download, modify and optimize for any kind of specific and specialize implementation. Retro-compatibility, different mounting attachments, new colorations, customized top designs... Feel free to express yourself!
In the download section you'll also find free-to-use .STP files with attachments for M.2 and 2.5" drives, DIN mounting compatibility and more!
