“A little bit more care during the mounting process to find and hold the optimum position while pushing down. No correction afterward possible.”

“It works but, the CPU still sits at just over 60c ... for the money it's very good, completely silent and a great fit.”

“Attaches easily to the Raspberry Pi 5 and connects to a Pi header and the Pi will use it when it gets hot. Looks good and easy to install too.”

“Seems I am giving 5 star reviews to every PI5 accessory. This cooler simply does the job. All my other Pi's were OK running 24/7 with just a heatsink to keep them cool. I wasn't too sure about active cooling. I hate fans, but this cooler works as advertised. It is quiet and it keeps a 24/7 ffmpeg encoding Pi nicely cool. This cooler is an essential purchase.”
