The Raspberry Pi Active Cooler provides a cooling solution for users who wish to use their Raspberry Pi 5 under sustained heavy load without a case. The Active Cooler combines a large metal heatsink with a high-quality variable-speed fan that is powered and controlled via the fan connector on the Board.The Cooler attaches to the board via sprung pins into the dedicated pair of mounting holes that are on the board. The heat from the Pi 5 CPU spreads across the heatsink body and fins and the blower fan pushes cool air over them to keep your Raspberry Pi 5 running at optimal thermal levels. The cooler uses thermal pads that are pre-attached to create a solid thermal connection with the Raspberry Pi 5 as well as hole the cooler in place. The fan is software-controlled, allowing it to remain off (and therefore silent) until temperatures requires cooling. Features Compatible with Raspberry Pi 5 Large metal 'finned' heatsink combined with a high-quality blower fan Fan fitting compatible with the Raspberry Pi 5 fan connector Variable speed fan (software/temperature controlled) Uses the Raspberry Pi 5 heatsink mount holes Thermal pads included (pre-attached) Does NOT include Raspberry Pi Board
