goney3 Posted October 28, 2021 Report Share Posted October 28, 2021 Is the metal Raspberry Pi Zero case compatible with the new Zero 2 W that was announced today? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goney3 Posted October 29, 2021 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2021 Going to answer my own question... YES ETA Prime on YouTube did a video with it and will have an additional review video in the near future. The thermal differences he found using the new Zero2 have been: No Case @ 1.0 Ghz = 67.4c No Case @ 1.3 Ghz Overclocked = 77.8c Flirc Case @ 1.0 Ghz = 51.4c Flirc Case @ 1.3 Ghz Overclocked = 68.3c As you can see, the Flirc Case for the Zero works so well that it cools the Overclocked Zero2 down to non-overclocked thermals at standard clocks without a case. This is outstanding and I am looking forward to having my Zero2 use the Flirc case! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deveth0 Posted October 31, 2021 Report Share Posted October 31, 2021 Hey, I just got a pi zero 2 and yes, the case is compatible with a minor drawback: the original thermal pad is a bit too think and the board gets a bit bended. I replaced it with a thinner one and the board is fine now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would something like this work? https://www.amazon.com/Outus-Silicone-Reusable-Conductive-Conduction/dp/B094PWW9TM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
