“The official active cooler for the Raspberry Pi 5 is exactly what you need if you want better thermal performance. It’s easy to install, feels solidly built, and runs quietly. Once fitted, it keeps the Pi noticeably cooler under loadm great for sustained use or when running heavier tasks.
No surprises, no fuss, it does its job well and feels like a quality official accessory.”
“I was dubious at how well this works, but I can tell you the fan is brilliant. Installation takes all of 1 minute.
The service and delivery from Pimoroni was spot on.”
“It's a very cheap addition to keep things reliable. It responds to cpu temp so only runs when needed. If you're lashing out on a pi5 it's a sensible choice for little more than the price of some passive heatsinks.”
