GeeekPi Active Cooler for Raspberry Pi 5, Armor Lite V5 Cooler for Raspberry Pi 5, Aluminum Heatsink and Cooling Fan for Raspberry Pi 5 4GB/8GB

The is by far the best low profile active cooler for the Pi 5s I have used, and I have many different coolers for them. All of the I/O is accessible, save for the fan header which the cooler uses, of course, and all of the hot spots are cooled. Enough thermal pads are included in various sizes and thicknesses that you can put them on all the chips and even the Wi-Fi/Bluetooth RF shield. Just use the correct thicknesses so the tops are level and sit flat on the base of the cooler.My overclocked, 3GHz CPU/1GHz GPU Pi 5 16GB runs indefinitely stable and fully loaded on the CPU, GPU, and RAM simultaneously and only gets up into the mid to high 60s C when open to the air on the top side of the Pi, the bottom cover I'm using being in the Pi silicone rubber bumper butt. Ambient room temp is about 20 to 25 C.This is way more extreme than a normal working load would typically be, but the cooler is still able to easily handle it.See attached photos for a picture of it installed on this Pi and a screenshot of testing conditions and results.Highly recommended. Thanks, and happy Pi-ing.

My Pi5 needed to have cooling and I wanted one that was easy to install, worked great and didn't add a bunch of unneeded height as mine is installed in a rack. This one worked excellent!

This heat sink works great and is lowe profile enough that should not block most Pi Hats. Keeps my system cool and I have notice no thermal throttling. Great performance and cost. Recommend!

Simple and easy to install. Fortunately my application doesn't create much heat so the fan kicks on when needed. Very quiet when running.

Apparently this was a opened and returned. At least the box looked pre opened. It was supposed to come with pegs to lock it onto the Pi5, instructions and pads. I did not get them. Used my pads and thought it just stuck on like the little ones I used to use on Arduino, however, it fell off and hit the desk hard it quit working. No fan rotation anymore. Ordered a different one entirely. I hope it comes fully intact. EDIT: GeekPi refunded the cost of this after reaching out. I did leave the review as to let people know of a potential issue but5 as stated above I thyink the package was pre opened either as a returned product that did not have everything or was dammaged before packageing not a direct issue of GeekPi. I have several GeekPi items for Arduino projects and never had an issue so I think this is a fluke.

This cooler does a great job keeping my Raspberry Pi 5 temps in check, even when overclocking. The fan is efficient, and the aluminum heatsink helps dissipate heat really well. Installation was simple, and the build quality feels solid. If you're pushing your Pi to its limits, this is definitely worth it to keep things running cool and stable.

The fan actually seems to run much less than the official Raspberry Pi 5 active cooler. Could be a result of the more efficient and larger heat sink.Cools well, good quality, great fit and quiet fan.

I've gotten several of these. The main issue is that you do not know what you are actually going to receive. First order was fine, the second order one was fine 5/16 and the other two were thicker 1/2 to the point that the POE hat with externders would not seat all the way down due to a cap hitting the top of the heat sync. One the other 7 the cap has a good 1/8" clearance.
