Official Raspberry Pi 5 Active Cooler

The Official Raspberry Pi 5 Active Cooler is a dedicated cooling accessory designed specifically for the Raspberry Pi 5 board. It combines a large anodised aluminium heatsink with a temperature controlled blower fan to efficiently dissipate heat generated by the processor and power management components.

This cooler connects directly to the Raspberry Pi 5 fan header and is controlled by the firmware using pulse width modulation. The fan automatically adjusts speed according to CPU temperature, helping prevent thermal throttling during heavy workloads such as compiling software, running servers, or intensive computing tasks.
