MiSTer FPGA Aluminum Passively Cooled Armor
Experience the superior performance and protection of the MiSTer FPGA Pre-configured Bundle (with Aluminum Armor). Designed with the passionate user in mind, this bundle has already received rave reviews from satisfied customers all over the world. The case is even used by some of your favorite developers! The industrial-grade DE10-nano FPGA boasts a high max temperature rating of 100C. Trust in the durability and functionality of this top-of-the-line bundle.
Protect your case with Shock+ silicone sleeve!
No fan = no dust = no noise.
MiSTer doesn't require active cooling.
The case is the heatsink, dissipating internal heat to the exterior.
Instructions: https://misteraddons.com/pages/guide
Includes all needed hardware for assembly including aluminum push buttons!
IO Board Button disclaimer
REQUIRES AN IO BOARD WITH ~4.25MM BUTTONS. All IO boards ever sold by misteraddons.com have the correct-sized buttons
WILL NOT WORK WITH IO BOARDS THAT HAVE TALL BUTTONS
USB Hub Requirements
REQUIRES A USB HUB WITH DC POWER JACK AND USB BRACKET. NOT COMPATIBLE WITH THE “C” SHAPED USB BRIDGE. IF YOU DON'T HAVE A USB BRACKET, PLEASE ENSURE YOU HAVE HEADER PINS BEHIND THE MICRO USB PORT. USB BRACKETS ARE AVAILABLE HERE https://misteraddons.com/collections/parts/products/usb-connectors
Thermal Characteristics
This thermal image demonstrates the aluminum case's ability to dissipate heat. The yellow areas are the hottest and black is the coolest.
These measurements were performed in 2020, just before the case was released. Since that time, thousands have been sold and used all around the world. Rest assured the case provides both adequate cooling and protection. The FPGA used by the DE10-nano has a max temp rating (TJmax) of 100C. It's an industrial-class device and this aluminum armor is the best enclosure for it.
It's normal for case temperatures to reach 40-50C. That's 1/2 the rated temperature of the FPGA :)
These charts show measurements of a small heatsink with no fan (No Case (Heatsink), a traditional case with fan and heatsink, and the aluminum case measured on the top and on the heatsink arm itself.

Love MiSTer Addons - this kit was super easy to put together and looks fantastic.
Best MiSTer Stack build you can make. If the MiSTer Pi becomes more widespread, hope you'll make one for that as well.
Looks great, fairly easy to assemble, and no more fan noise!
The MiSTer FPGA Aluminum Passively Cooled Armor is the best case around. A very solid and complete enclosure to protect and cool your MiSTer FPGA.
This case is excellent. I have other mister units I’ve built in other cases and they’re nice but this one is the king. Watch a YouTube video on assembly all the way through before you do it. Looks amazing. Everything is protected.
