The cooler is highly effective at managing the increased heat generated by the more powerful Raspberry Pi 5. It keeps the CPU temperatures well within safe limits, even under heavy loads, which is crucial for maintaining optimal performance and longevity. The design is compact and integrates seamlessly with the Raspberry Pi 5, making it easy to install without adding much bulk.

It works but may not be good enough on its own. During some heavy computation Pi 5 can go up to 56.0'C, with an extra external fan you can get the temperature of the Pi 5 down to 46 .0'C. So I think on its own its good but needs help. I am also not sure about the impact of a case on this. I am using a piBow, will need to investigate some more to be able to tell.

The active cooler is one of the essentials when using a Pi5. You need to stay cool! And the Active Cooler does just that.

It is a great product that is very well-engineered and easy to install. No software is required, just the most up-to-date version of Raspberry Pi OS.
