This is the low - profile variant of 52Pi's ICE Tower Plus Cooler for Raspberry Pi 5. It offers the same large - scale heatsink style and excellent cooling performance. With a top - mounted fan and an angled heatsink section, it has a more compact design. Four 5mm copper heat pipes connect the aluminium block on the Raspberry Pi 5 to transfer heat to the finned heatsink. The PWM fan (with Pi 5 fan connector) can efficiently draw heat away. The cooler comes with a solid metal base plate that, with the help of a large thermal pad, removes heat from the underside of your Raspberry Pi 5. It looks really cool! Your Raspberry Pi 5 gets a big - computer look and matching cooling performance. The cooler features efficient cooling with a quad - copper pipe design for effective heat dissipation even under heavy loads. Its stylish metal fins not only enhance cooling but also give your setup a big - computer aesthetic. Made from high - quality materials, it's durable. Installation is a breeze with a standard 4 - pin JST Pi 5 fan connector. It's specifically designed for Raspberry Pi 5 and helps prevent thermal throttling for consistent performance. The fan won't spin until your Raspberry Pi 5 reaches 60°C and then speeds up with the temperature, controlled by the Raspberry Pi OS kernel. The package includes 1x Low - profile ICE Tower Plus Cooler, 1x Metal bottom base, 1x Thermal pad set (CPU, RAM and base pads), 1x Fixings and standoffs set, 1x Mini screwdriver, and 1x Hex key. Note that the Raspberry Pi 5 is not included.
Using the Low - profile ICE Tower Plus Cooler for your Raspberry Pi 5 is easy. First, take out all the items from the package, including the cooler, metal bottom base, thermal pad set, fixings and standoffs set, mini screwdriver, and hex key. Apply the thermal pads from the set to the appropriate areas on your Raspberry Pi 5, like the CPU, RAM, and base. Then, attach the cooler to the Raspberry Pi 5 using the fixings and standoffs. Connect the fan to the Pi 5 fan connector. Remember, the Raspberry Pi 5 is not included in the package. The fan won't start spinning until the Raspberry Pi 5 reaches 60°C, and it will speed up as the temperature rises. This is controlled by the Raspberry Pi OS kernel, so there's no need to worry about manual adjustment. For maintenance, occasionally check if the fan is working properly and if there's any dust on the heatsink. You can gently blow the dust away to keep the cooler working at its best. Also, make sure all the connections are secure. With proper use and maintenance, this cooler will keep your Raspberry Pi 5 running smoothly for a long time.
