Black Active Cooler for Raspberry Pi 5

This is an active cooler with a heatsink and a cooling fan integrated for Raspberry Pi 5. As we understand, Raspberry Pi 5 computers deliver great performance and of course, more power will generate more heat for all CPUs. This is especially true for Raspberry Pi 5 as it is the most powerful Raspberry Pi board. So it needs good heat management, hence this active cooler will help to dissipate the heat.

It comes with thermal pads protected by a protective sheet. The thermal pads are for better thermal conductivity. They are particularly for CPU, RAM, and USB Control IC on Raspberry Pi 5 board. The heatsink and fan come in one piece and mounting is through snap-and-fit on dedicated holes on the Raspberry Pi 5 board. The fan on the heatsink comes with a 4-pin connector for you to connect to the dedicated fan connector. 

Did I mention it? The cooling fan is PWM controllable from the latest Raspberry Pi OS (Bookworm). By default, the fan is automated from the latest Raspberry Pi OS, no configuration is needed. There is a 4-pin fan connector. There are 2 wires for Power (+ and GND), another for PWM to control fan speed, and the last for Tachometer to get feedback from the fan.
