Product Description

Case layers

Raspberry Pi 5 Case

The updated case for Raspberry Pi 5, priced at $10, builds on the aesthetic of its Raspberry Pi 4 predecessor, but adds a host of new usability and thermal-management features.

An integrated 2.79 (max) CFM fan, with fluid dynamic bearings selected for low noise and an extended operating lifetime, connects to the four-pin JST connector on Raspberry Pi 5 to provide temperature‑controlled cooling. Air is drawn in through a 360‑degree slot under the lid, blown over a heatsink attached to the BCM2712 AP, and exhausted through connector apertures and vents in the base.

We’ve lengthened the case, and tweaked the retention features, to make it possible to insert the Raspberry Pi 5 board without removing the SD card. And by removing the top of the case, it is now possible to stack multiple cases, as well as to mount HATs on top of the fan, using spacers and GPIO header extensions.

Raspberry Pi Bumper

Protect and secure your Raspberry Pi 5 with Raspberry Pi Bumper, a snap-on silicone cover that protects the bottom and edges of the board.

Type C PSU 27W

27W USB-C Power Supply

Raspberry Pi 5 consumes significantly less power, and runs significantly cooler, than Raspberry Pi 4 when running an identical workload. However, the much higher performance ceiling means that for the most intensive workloads, and in particular for pathological “power virus” workloads, peak power consumption increases to around 12W, versus 8W for Raspberry Pi 4.

When using a standard 5V, 3A (15W) USB-C power adapter with Raspberry Pi 5, by default we must limit downstream USB current to 600mA to ensure that we have sufficient margin to support these workloads. This is lower than the 1.2A limit on Raspberry Pi 4, though generally still sufficient to drive mice, keyboards, and other low‑power peripherals.

Active Cooler

Raspberry Pi 5 has been designed to handle typical client workloads, uncased, with no active cooling. Users who wish to use the board uncased under continuous heavy load, without throttling, have the option of adding a $5 Active Cooler. This attaches to the board via two new mounting holes, and connects to the same four-pin JST connector as the case fan.

A radial blower, again selected for low noise and extended operating lifetime, pushes air through an extruded and milled aluminium heatsink. Both the case and the Active Cooler are able to keep Raspberry Pi 5 well below the thermal throttle point for typical ambient temperatures and worst-case loads. The cooling performance of the Active Cooler is somewhat superior, making it particularly suitable for overclockers.

RTC Battery

Raspberry Pi RTC Battery

ML2020 Manganese Rechargeable Lithium Battery for powering Raspberry Pi 5's real-time clock. Supplied with a pre-fitted two-pin JST plug to connect to Raspberry Pi 5's dedicated RTC battery connector, and an adhesive mounting pad.

Works great!👍 I use it to run a Minecraft server and a nas and keeps nice and cool 🧊. Only things is I wish it was screwed in but it doesn’t really matter in the end. Great product do recommend

Works well and keeps the Pi cool even when overclocked a bit.

Fits and works perfectly. Keeps my RPi5 at or below 60deg even under full load. Be careful about using cases with this cooler as some cases create a heat bubble even with the fan, causing temps to get into the throttling range. I tried an official case and it had this problem with the top on. Removing the top cover plate fixed the over heating. I finally 3D printed a case that avoids the heat bubble by placing a more open area above the fan and vented areas to this sides.

Works well even in hot tropical environments.

This cooler for my Raspberry Pi 5 is pretty rad, man! It keeps my Pi from getting too hot when I'm pushing ithard. Installation was a breeze, and the quiet fan doesn't bother me at all. Amazon has got my back with their solid customer service, and the price is totally cool too.If you're experiencing overheating issues with your Raspberry Pi 5, this cooler is a must-have accessory. It'slike a lifesaver for your little computer buddy! Keep on coolin', my friends!

This is the official heat sink and fan for the Raspberry Pi 5. It does cool down the processor, but I'm sure there are alternatives that could perform better in regards to cooling, but will be much bulkier. It's easy to install and doesn't require any setup from what I can remember. It just works.

It did exactly what it said on the label: Actively Cooled my Raspberry Pi 5.

Great fit, very silent fan. The big heat dissipator helps with RPi5 overclocking. It integrates perfectly with the OS returning realistic RPM values. I would recommend it over the standard case-issued fan

Fa il suo dovere. È pratico da montare e da smontare. Unica cosa, forse ovvia, arriva con i termal pads posizionati a caso sulla faccia inferiore del dissipatore. Vanno rimossi e collocati sopra gli IC che debbono essere raffreddati
