Raspberry Pi 5 Active Cooling fan

The Raspberry Pi Active Cooler is an innovative cooling solution for Raspberry Pi 5 users who push their systems to the limit. This cooler is specifically designed for scenarios where the Raspberry Pi 5 is subjected to sustained heavy loads, particularly when a case is not being used. It features a large metal heat sink combined with a variable-speed fan, offering efficient cooling performance. The fan and heat sink are powered and controlled via the fan connector and attach directly to the Raspberry Pi 5 board using sprung pins into mounting holes.

This active cooler has proven its efficiency in tests, where it maintained the temperature at a maximum of 64°C during a 10-minute stress test on a 4GB Pi 5. Following the test, the temperature quickly decreased to 48°C. The fan operates at approximately 4600 rpm and is remarkably quiet, even under high load.

However, it's important to note that this cooler is only compatible with Raspberry Pi 5 computers and does not fit in the official Raspberry Pi 5 case. User reviews consistently praise its performance, ease of installation without screws, and near-silent operation under normal conditions. This product is ideal for Raspberry Pi 5 enthusiasts looking to maintain optimal performance and temperature control in their projects.
