GeeekPi Active Cooler for Raspberry Pi 5, Armor Lite V5 Cooler Aluminum Heatsink and Cooling Fan for Raspberry Pi 5 4GB/8GB

Nice active cooler for mi PI5. Looked heavier than the stock one. Works great.

Somebody FINALLY came up with an active cooler design that is decent. Instead of expander plugs which make the cooler non-removable, there folks use nylon screws to hold the cooler down. They also prove an abundance of thermal pads and even a small screwdriver!!!! These guys deserve credit for finally putting together a great active cooler that does not interfere with hats! Great job!!

Works great. One of the plastic screws broke but the package contained doubles of the thermal pads and screws. I guess incase of user error. It is very quiet and sometimes check to see if its spinning but it alwas is and pushes quite a bit of air. Would recommend

Assembled and connected in a couple of minutes. Keeps the processor cool as expected.

Fit perfectly on my Pi5. Helped lower temps even under full load. It’s also much quieter compared to the stock fan. Great deal for the price. Metal doesn’t feel cheap and the fan is balanced.

This cooler works well. It came with more than enough thermal pads. It attaches with nylon screws (Probably keeping you from over-tightening). Plugs into RP4 fan header. I have zero issues and my Pi no longer thermal throttles. I also like the fact it's pretty low profile and doesn't stick out past the usb housing

Apparently this was a opened and returned. At least the box looked pre opened. It was supposed to come with pegs to lock it onto the Pi5, instructions and pads. I did not get them. Used my pads and thought it just stuck on like the little ones I used to use on Arduino, however, it fell off and hit the desk hard it quit working. No fan rotation anymore. Ordered a different one entirely. I hope it comes fully intact. EDIT: GeekPi refunded the cost of this after reaching out. I did leave the review as to let people know of a potential issue but5 as stated above I thyink the package was pre opened either as a returned product that did not have everything or was dammaged before packageing not a direct issue of GeekPi. I have several GeekPi items for Arduino projects and never had an issue so I think this is a fluke.

I hedge my title by saying it's "possibly better" as I don't have the factory cooler with which to compare it. This one cost more than twice as much as the factory cooler, but when you factor in shipping for the very few places that have the factory cooler (at time of purchase and as I write this), it worked out cheaper. I'm not disappointed. It cools extremely well and comes with two full sets of thermal pads that cover more chips than even some of other larger brands. The fan is surprisingly quiet, although I'm not sure if I've been able to get it to spin up all the way due to how effective the heatsink is. Most of the time when it's on at lower speeds, I can't hear it at all (and don't have it in a case yet). Word of warning if you've never worked with thermal pads before: Be very gentle with the thermal pads and use tweezers to remove the protective plastic. The pads themselves are very delicate and easy to damage. FWIW: I also bought one of Geekworm's NVME M.2 adaptors to go with this, the X1002 model.

A solid, thick heatsink with a Pi-controlled fan. Its very low profile allows you to put a Pi-hat and still have reasonable clearance. Good value, excellent cooling. So far it has kept the cpu from throttling down...

I'm trying hard but I can't get my Pi 5 past 66 celsius.

No es el original, faltan unas columnas y es más chiquito en altura

Bought 2 heatsink + fan combos for my raspberry pi 5, the heatsink quality and fan size + speed was much more pleasing than any others on offer.

Works great to keep my pi 5, which is in a warm electronics bay of my 3d printer, cool and running well. Very quiet, and I confirmed my pi to only run it when needed.
