What does this mean?Pros & Cons
Pros
Icecube keeps my rpi between 26'c-31'c idle in the summer, and 21'c - 24'c in the winter. Comes with thermal pads that cover all the chips. Keeps the cpu temp down from 45 c to about 32 c.
Just make sure things are oriented right. Very quiet even as a small fan, but isn't terribly powerful in terms of cf/m. Comes with 2 fans, one rgb, and one black. Also includes a non-rgb fan if that's more your speed.
Highlights
Quality
This is the only solution that has contact with the cpu, memory and ethernet chips.
It's top quality and really cool looking.
In theory, it would be possibly to run a push/pull config with this product.
With the thicker pad on the memory and usb chips, and the angle of the metal support arms, a gap remains between the heatsink/t... Read More
Price
Well worth the cost definitely recommend buying.
The price is a fair and decent pricing i give it a 5 star and i usually don't write revies for vendors but i will say i like this product.
Packaging/appearance
The fan is nice and quiet, temps have dropped ~5c, led and extra black fan, nice packaging.
Will use these going forward, lower temps and better built, better packaging and thermal pads than the ice tower.
Competitiveness
Stock fans cools very well but it does even better with noctua 5v fan.
Thanks to sunfounder for supplying extra thermal pads with these units, along with a spare, non-led fan for those who prefer it.
I did replace the fan for a noctua one.
I tested a passive cooler, argon one, stock case with a fan and heatsinks (jank case).

I used it on my 3 to overclock even with overclocking the cpu stays below 50c

Had to cut two pins off of the adc i2s header with a pair of wire cutters for the mounting arm thingy to fit but you could also probably get away with just leaving one of the mount arms off
