The Raspberry Pi 5 Heatsink with Active Cooling Fan is an official cooling solution designed by the Raspberry Pi team for Raspberry Pi 5 boards. It integrates a one-piece aluminum heatsink and active fan to manage thermal output from high-performance CPU operation. The cooler includes three thermal pads for efficient heat transfer from the CPU, RAM IC, and Wi-Fi shield can. It mounts directly onto the board using a snap-fit mechanism and connects via a dedicated 4-pin fan header. This cooling solution is suitable for sustained workloads, development environments, and educational applications requiring stable thermal performance.
