Raspberry Pi Raspberry Pi 5 Active Cooler – Aluminum Heatsink – SC1148

Description

Product Overview

The Raspberry Pi 5 Active Cooler is engineered to deliver superior heat management for the latest Raspberry Pi 5 single‑board computer. Constructed from high‑grade anodized aluminum, the heatsink offers a lightweight yet robust platform that maximizes surface area for rapid heat transfer. Integrated directly onto the heatsink is a temperature‑controlled blower fan, securely attached with three precision screws to ensure stability during prolonged operation. Pre‑applied thermal pads on the contact points eliminate the need for additional adhesive, providing instant and consistent thermal conductivity out of the box. The design incorporates spring‑loaded push pins that align perfectly with the Pi 5 mounting holes, allowing for a tool‑free installation that saves time and reduces the risk of damage. Dimensions of 2.56 x 0.26 x 1.3 inches make the cooler compact enough to fit within tight enclosures while still delivering the airflow required for demanding workloads such as media streaming, AI inference, and intensive computational tasks. With a weight of just 0.705 ounces, the cooler adds minimal bulk, preserving the portability that Raspberry Pi users expect. The product has earned a strong reputation, reflected in a 4.8‑star rating from over 900 verified customers and a #3 ranking in the heatsink category on major retail platforms, confirming its reliability and popularity among hobbyists and professionals alike.

Usage

Designed for a wide range of environments, this active cooler excels in both hobbyist projects and professional deployments. Whether you are building a home media server, a portable retro‑gaming console, an edge‑AI device, or a network‑attached storage unit, the cooler maintains optimal operating temperatures, extending the lifespan of the Raspberry Pi 5 and preventing thermal throttling. Its quiet, temperature‑regulated fan adapts to workload demands, delivering high airflow when the CPU is under stress and reducing speed during idle periods to keep noise levels low in office or classroom settings. The compact form factor allows installation in confined spaces such as 3D‑printed cases, metal enclosures, or even custom‑machined housings, making it ideal for projects where space is at a premium. Additionally, the pre‑applied thermal pads simplify the assembly process for educators and students who need a quick, reliable cooling solution for classroom labs or maker‑space workshops. The cooler is also suitable for outdoor or industrial applications where temperature fluctuations are common, as the aluminum construction resists corrosion and the fan’s built‑in controller adjusts to ambient conditions automatically.

FAQ

Is the cooler compatible with all Raspberry Pi 5 cases?

Yes, the cooler’s compact dimensions and spring‑loaded push pins are designed to fit standard Raspberry Pi 5 mounting holes, making it compatible with most off‑the‑shelf cases as well as custom‑built enclosures.

Do I need to apply additional thermal paste?

No additional thermal paste is required. The cooler comes with pre‑applied thermal pads that provide optimal thermal conductivity right out of the box.

How does the temperature‑controlled fan work?

The fan includes an integrated sensor that monitors the CPU temperature. When the temperature rises, the fan speed increases to provide more airflow; as the system cools, the fan slows down to minimize noise.

What is the warranty period for this product?

We offer a one‑year limited warranty covering any manufacturing defects. If you encounter any issues, our support team will assist you with a replacement or repair.

Can this cooler be used for overclocking the Raspberry Pi 5?

Absolutely. The active cooling solution is designed to handle the extra heat generated by overclocked CPUs, helping maintain stable performance and preventing thermal throttling during intensive tasks.
