Official Raspberry Pi 5 Case with Active Cooling Fan | Red/White

Engineered for Optimal Thermal Management The Raspberry Pi 5 generates significantly more heat than its predecessors, making active cooling essential for sustained performance. This official case integrates a high-efficiency, temperature-controlled cooling fan that connects directly to the dedicated 4-pin fan header on the Pi 5 motherboard. Combined with the included 12x17x4mm adhesive CPU heatsink, the system delivers a maximum airflow of 2.79 CFM at 8000 RPM, ensuring your board remains at a comfortable operating temperature even during intense processing tasks. Modular Design for Makers and Developers Designed with flexibility in mind, the four-part ABS and polycarbonate enclosure clips together seamlessly without the need for screws. The top lid is easily removable, exposing the transparent fan assembly and providing unobstructed access to the GPIO pins, camera/display ports, and PCIe interface. For advanced projects, the integrated mounting holes allow you to stack multiple cases or mount HATs directly on top using standard stand-offs and header extenders (sold separately). Technician Tip When assembling the case, always apply the included heatsink to the CPU before installing the Raspberry Pi 5 into the red base. Ensure the fan cable is routed neatly and plugged into the dedicated 'FAN' header on the board, not the GPIO pins. The fan is PWM-controlled, meaning it will remain silent during light tasks and automatically spin up only when the CPU temperature rises.
