Adafruit Official Raspberry Pi 5 Active Cooler

The Raspberry Pi 5 Active Cooler, compatible with both the Raspberry Pi 5 and the official Raspberry Pi 5 Case, maximizes performance and prevents overheating during intense computing tasks. Ideal for high-demand scenarios like machine learning or video rendering, it ensures consistent operation without thermal throttling.

The component includes a mini heatsink placed directly on the CPU and a quiet radial blower fan designed to fit seamlessly into the official Raspberry Pi 5 Case. Its precision engineering includes mounting via new board holes and a four-pin JST connector for straightforward installation.

Specifications highlight a temperature-controlled fan, providing up to 1.4CFM of airflow. This advanced cooling system is particularly effective for overclockers, maintaining optimal temperatures even under extreme workloads. Note that while the cooler is sold separately, it provides superior thermal management for uncased or heavily loaded boards.
