RPi 5 Aluminum Heatsink Case with Dual Fan
- Brands China Code: BO-PI5-AL-FAN
This is a super elegant and practical armor case for Raspberry Pi 5. It is an upgraded version to support Raspberry Pi 5, great!
Frankly speaking, it is not an enclosure or case, it should be called heatsink because the case itself is CNC aluminum and comes with thermal paste/tape to effectively dissipate heat generated from the processor, RAM IC. Furthermore, it is also integrated with two cooling fans (assembled, but not fasten to the case), just connect the power to run it. Not to worry the Wifi Signal is not affected due to case open design.
Note: The Raspberry Pi 5 mainboard is NOT included in the packing list.
Check out this video, although it's not exactly this version of the case, the assembly steps are the same:
In the video, the thermal tape is not sticking to the case. But we do advise sticking the thermal tape to the respective IC. Without the thermal tape, there will be an air gap between the case and Raspberry Pi, and as we know, the air is a heat insulator :( So please paste the thermal tape. Don't panic, you can simply attach it to the case as shown below.
Note: The figure shown above is the Aluminum Heatsink Case for Raspberry Pi 4 but the assembly of the thermal pad is similar.
We performed a thermal stress test with Raspberry Pi 5 together with this Aluminum Heatsink Case and the result is quite impressive! The heat difference is around 20 degrees Celsius.
