Key Features
- 【Efficient heat dissipation】 Based on a large-area insulated silicone thermal pad, paired with a honeycomb aluminum alloy large-area radiator and a PWM speed-adjustable fan with extra-large blades, multiple methods of rapid heat dissipation can ensure that the Raspberry Pi 5 works normally and efficiently under high load conditions, actual measurement The cooling efficiency is better than the official active cooler.
- 【Fully compatible with Raspberry Pi 5】Precise silicone thermal pad design, efficient heat dissipation and will not cause short circuits in peripheral components. The PWM speed-adjustable fan uses a 4-pin JST connector and is fully compatible with Pi 5.
- 【Easy to install】cool cooler pi50 only needs to be installed directly on the Raspberry Pi 5 through 2 screw holes, and it can be used after connecting the cooling fan.
- 【Silent speed-adjustable fan】The PWM speed-adjustable fan can adjust the corresponding speed according to the temperature of the Raspberry Pi 5, and achieves cooling by adding cold air inward and pushing out hot airflow.
- 【High-efficiency silicone thermal pad】The silicone thermal pad is customized according to the chip size and height. It has been installed at the bottom of the radiator and is not sticky. Please fix the thermal pad before installation. If the thermal pad is lost or damaged, please replace the silicone thermal pad. Use the radiator again.
