Pros & Cons

Pros

  • ✓ PWM speed control works natively with Raspberry Pi OS fan curves
  • ✓ Armor Lite V5 aluminum heatsink plus 3510 fan pulls heat off the Pi 5 fast
  • ✓ Ships complete: screwdriver, 2 screws, 4 thermal pads, manual
  • ✓ Low-profile lightweight build mounts with just two screws

Cons

  • ✗ Locked to Raspberry Pi 5 4GB/8GB only, no Pi 4 or older boards
  • ✗ Fan is active, not silent, so a passive case stays quieter at idle
  • ✗ GeeekPi publishes no dBA or CFM figures for the 3510 fan
  • ✗ Only 2 mounting screws included, so a lost screw means a hardware-store trip
