      What Exactly is the Raspeberry Pi 400?
      Is it just a 4 in a Keyboard, or is it a significantly more powerful upgrade?

      I just want to run System 32 games as flawlessly as possible, so any suggestions would be wonderful.

        Technically, It's just a Pi4 with a slightly higher clocked CPU (1.8 Ghz vs. 1.5G Ghz), without the analog jack and just an USB 2.0 port.

          @mitu It also has two usb 3.0 ports.
          @Jiryn My overclocked pi4 at 2Ghz can run system 32 games at full speed using mame 2016. Fbneo now has system32 support but it's too slow for me.

            @darksavior have you had any issues with the Pi 4 crashing from being over clocked ?

            What case are you using to keep it cool ?

              @mtukrvc21 Isn't the 400 its own case?

              Oh, you're asking about a Pi4 case.

                @Jiryn I use a flirc case for my pi4 but it's not enough so I attached a fan. It's stable just don't go beyond 2Ghz. A more elegant solution is getting an argon one v2 since it comes with a fan and you can set it to kick in at a certain temp.

                The pi400 already has a heatsink inside to keep it cool.

                    Same goes for my fanless aluminium Argon Neo case. I like its magnetic cover that can be easily removed to access the Pi's internal ports.
