Comments: * It is easy to install. Just two plastic buttons to fasten the thing down on a Pi5. * It does its job, keeps the Pi5 cool, though I have not done extensive testing. * It has an "industrial" feel to it. It is not amateurishly constructed. * Price and shipping were reasonable. * I don't like writing reviews until the product has been in service long enough that I can attest to its reliability/longevity. I've had this running for a few days and cannot attest. My observation is that cheap fans die relatively quickly, and good fans do not. I don't know about this one, but I have high hopes. Based on my experience so far, I'd say: buy one now! But time will tell.

I love it, It keeps the device cool and prevents overheating during heavy use. Highly recommended for improved thermal management.

"If you've already installed your Active Cooler, remove it before starting assembly". :-( I wish the bundle I received came with instructions warning about this.

A cooler, with added quiteness.

A little bit more care during the mounting process to find and hold the optimum position while pushing down. No correction afterward possible.

Fit once. Try to remove it at your peril.

It works but, the CPU still sits at just over 60c ... for the money it's very good, completely silent and a great fit.
