Description:
The Official Raspberry Pi 5 Active Cooler is a dedicated, permanent clip-on cooling solution for Raspberry Pi 5. It combines an aluminium heatsink with a temperature-controlled blower fan to keep your Raspberry Pi 5 at a comfortable operating temperature even under heavy loads.
The Official Raspberry Pi 5 Active Cooler is a one-piece anodized aluminium heatsink with an integrated fan. It has pre-applied thermal pads for heat transfer and mounts to the Raspberry Pi 5 board directly using spring pins. It connects to the same 4-pin JST connector as the case fan.
The Raspberry Pi Active Cooler provides an alternative cooling solution for users who wish to use their Raspberry Pi 5 under sustained heavy load without a case (but you might want to add one of our Active Cooler Cases for protection!)

Assembly Instructions:
- Remove the backing paper from the thermal pads on the product's underside.
- Make sure your Raspberry Pi 5 is powered off. Position the Official Raspberry Pi 5 Active Cooler carefully in the correct space on Raspberry Pi 5, making sure not to hit any of the connectors. Please refer to the diagram on the front of the box, which shows the correct position and orientation of the product.
- Align the two white push pins with the two dedicated heatsink holes.
- When correctly positioned, press evenly on the tops of the two push pins simultaneously until they click, indicating they are clipped onto the board.
- Once the Official Raspberry Pi 5 Active Cooler is mounted, connect its fan cable to the connector labelled ‘FAN’ on Raspberry Pi 5. Take care to ensure the cable’s connector is the correct way around when inserting it. If you feel any resistance, stop immediately, remove the fan cable connector, and make sure that both it and the connector on Raspberry Pi 5 are undamaged before proceeding. Make sure that the connector on the cable is pushed down fully onto the connector on the Raspberry Pi 5.
- We recommend that the Official Raspberry Pi 5 Active Cooler not be removed once it is fitted to Raspberry Pi 5. Removal of the Official Raspberry Pi 5 Active Cooler will cause the push pins and thermal pads to degrade and is likely to lead to product damage.
- Ensure the push pins are undamaged and can clip onto the Raspberry Pi board securely before use. Discontinue the use of the Official Raspberry Pi 5 Active Cooler and replace the push pins if they are damaged or deformed, or if they do not clip securely.
