Pretty sweet, fits perfectly as you would expect and the delivery was faster than I expected. Only issue is software - if you use Debian server the fans will default to max and you'll have to manually change it in the configs but sticking to RPi OS will give you 0 issues.

The Pi 5 is quite a warm boi! if you are going to be running it 24/7 (like I do) I highly reccomend that you attach this to your Pi5 to ensure longevity and reliability.

Was a little fiddly to install and needed to install a fan control setting but otherwise it works much better than previous fans I had on pi 4s

Well made, and moves a fair bit of air to keep your Pi cool.

I have several Raspi 5s in use, all actively cooled. This cooler differs significantly from the others because it is much lighter - with the same cooling performance!

You need to be careful to orient the fan connector correctly. If you don't you are likely to bend one of the pins and the fan wont work. Otherwise easy to fit.

Does a good job of keeping my Pi 5 cool and is very quiet (barely audible most of the time -- much quieter than the generic fan I used with my Pi 4).
