Description TB-RPI5-Cooler is a Raspberry Pi 5 active cooler compatible heatsink fan module for users who need stable thermal performance in a compact single-board computer setup. As a Raspberry Pi 5 cooler, it combines an aluminium heatsink, a blower fan, push-pin mounting, and a 4-pin fan-header connection, making it suitable for Raspberry Pi 5 development boards used in continuous workloads, embedded prototypes, edge computing, retro gaming, media servers, and maker projects. Note: This is a China-made third-party compatible version for Raspberry Pi 5. It is not manufactured by Raspberry Pi Ltd and is not an official Raspberry Pi accessory. The cooler is designed around the Raspberry Pi 5 cooling layout: the heatsink contacts the major heat sources through thermal pads, the fan connects to the board's dedicated 4-pin FAN header, and PWM speed control helps the system balance cooling and noise. For projects that run CPU-heavy services, compile jobs, AI demos, browser kiosks, home automation hubs, or long uptime tasks, this Raspberry Pi 5 active cooling module helps keep the board more comfortable under load than passive airflow alone. Features Compatible active cooler for Raspberry Pi 5 single-board computers Aluminium heatsink with blower fan for focused Raspberry Pi 5 thermal management 4-pin fan-header connection supports 5V DC input, PWM control, and tachometer feedback Compact clip-on form factor with spring-loaded push-pin mounting Thermal-pad contact area helps transfer heat from Raspberry Pi 5 components to the heatsink Helps reduce thermal throttling during sustained Raspberry Pi 5 workloads Suitable for compact cases and open-frame builds where airflow planning is important Good replacement or spare cooler for Raspberry Pi 5 development, testing, and maintenance benches Specifications Parameter Value SKU TB-RPI5-Cooler Product Type Raspberry Pi 5 active cooler / heatsink fan Compatibility Raspberry Pi 5 Input Voltage 5V DC via Raspberry Pi 5 four-pin fan header Fan Control PWM speed control with tachometer feedback Maximum Airflow 1.09 CFM Maximum Fan Speed 8000 RPM +/- 15% Material Anodised aluminium heatsink reference design Approx. Dimensions 63.50 x 42.50 x 13.70 mm Mounting Spring-loaded push pins for Raspberry Pi 5 heatsink holes Heat Transfer Thermal-pad contact design Use Environment Well-ventilated Raspberry Pi 5 setups; avoid covering the case airflow path Applications Raspberry Pi 5 thermal management for continuous operation Edge computing, AI demos, camera processing, and local inference projects Home server, NAS helper, media server, and dashboard/kiosk builds Robotics, automation controllers, and embedded Linux prototypes Retro gaming, desktop Raspberry Pi 5 setups, and high-load maker projects Repair bench, spare part inventory, lab testing, and Raspberry Pi 5 maintenance Product List 1 x TB-RPI5-Cooler Raspberry Pi 5 active cooler compatible module Other Content Before installation, power off the Raspberry Pi 5 and check that the thermal pads, fan cable, connector, and push pins are intact. Align the cooler with the heatsink holes, press the push pins evenly until secure, then connect the cable to the Raspberry Pi 5 FAN header in the correct orientation. For best cooling performance, keep the fan intake and exhaust path clear and use the cooler in a ventilated case or open build. After the cooler has been fitted, repeated removal is not recommended because push pins and thermal pads can wear or deform. If the cooler is moved between boards, inspect the pads and mounting pins before reuse. During operation the metal heatsink can become hot, so handle it carefully after high-load tasks. Resources Raspberry Pi Active Cooler product brief PDF Raspberry Pi Active Cooler mechanical drawing PDF FAQ Is TB-RPI5-Cooler compatible with Raspberry Pi 4? No. This active cooler is listed for Raspberry Pi 5, which has a dedicated 4-pin FAN header and a different thermal/mechanical layout from Raspberry Pi 4. Does the cooler support automatic fan speed control? The Raspberry Pi 5 fan header supports PWM control with tachometer feedback, allowing the system to manage fan behavior according to temperature settings. Can I remove and reinstall the cooler many times? Repeated removal is not recommended. Push pins and thermal pads can degrade after removal, so inspect them carefully before reuse. Is this an official Raspberry Pi accessory? No. This listing is a third-party compatible Raspberry Pi 5 active cooler, not an official Raspberry Pi Ltd product.
