Review Argon Neo 5 Review: Updating the classic

[Admin]

Argon Forty’s latest case is all about the Raspberry Pi 5 and it provides great active and passive cooling in a desirable form factor. But can it keep the Raspberry Pi 5 cool, even under the stress of an overclock?

what do you mean "Color scheme is very 1980s", the 1980's color scheme, if there was one, is beige cases that turned yellow.

I have this case and regarding to the WiFi performance i am loosing 50mbit of what i had before i got the case.
First i bought the RPI5 and i had it without any case, getting a 250mbit connection speed during file transfers in my local network. After the installation of the RPI5 into the case i'm getting a 200mbit connection.
The RPI5 are at the same location as before, same with the router. No changes what so ever except the case.

Where you get your digits from a 74/75mbit WiFi speed is beyond me. It's way worse than it should be.
Now i have not tested my speeds with iperf, i have tested to transfer files (4gb+ size) over samba. I am USB booting my RPI5 from a ssd drive, and the end location of the file transfer is on a nvme disk (PC).

It's absolute garbage. The plastic tab for the on-off switch doesn't fit properly, the fan cable needs blu-tack or superglue to keep it in place while trying to screw the base on, and the thermal pads disintegrate on touch. After deciding to bin it, I had to spend 10 minutes dabbing blu-tack around the PMIC to remove the remains of the disintegrated thermal pads.
