Full Product Description
Engineered for Optimal Thermal Management
The Raspberry Pi 5 generates significantly more heat than its predecessors, making active cooling essential for sustained performance. This official case integrates a high-efficiency, temperature-controlled cooling fan that connects directly to the dedicated 4-pin fan header on the Pi 5 motherboard. Combined with the included 12x17x4mm adhesive CPU heatsink, the system delivers a maximum airflow of 2.79 CFM at 8000 RPM, ensuring your board remains at a comfortable operating temperature even during intense processing tasks.
Modular Design for Makers and Developers
Designed with flexibility in mind, the four-part ABS and polycarbonate enclosure clips together seamlessly without the need for screws. The top lid is easily removable, exposing the transparent fan assembly and providing unobstructed access to the GPIO pins, camera/display ports, and PCIe interface. For advanced projects, the integrated mounting holes allow you to stack multiple cases or mount HATs directly on top using standard stand-offs and header extenders (sold separately).
Technician Tip
When assembling the case, always apply the included heatsink to the CPU before installing the Raspberry Pi 5 into the red base. Ensure the fan cable is routed neatly and plugged into the dedicated 'FAN' header on the board, not the GPIO pins. The fan is PWM-controlled, meaning it will remain silent during light tasks and automatically spin up only when the CPU temperature rises.

FAQ Section
FAQ Section
Will this case fit my older Raspberry Pi 4?
No, this case is specifically designed for the Raspberry Pi 5 Model B. The port layout (USB, Ethernet, HDMI) and the dedicated fan header location on the Pi 5 are completely different from the Pi 4, making this case incompatible with older models.
Does the fan run continuously at full speed?
No, the integrated fan is temperature-controlled via Pulse Width Modulation (PWM). The Raspberry Pi OS automatically adjusts the fan speed based on the CPU temperature, ensuring silent operation during light use and maximum cooling only when necessary.
Can I install a HAT (Hardware Attached on Top) with this case?
Yes, you can mount HATs on top of the case. However, you will need to remove the top lid and use suitable stand-offs and GPIO header extenders (which are not included with the case) to clear the fan assembly.
Do I need to buy thermal paste for the heatsink?
No, the included 12x17x4mm aluminum heatsink comes with a pre-applied self-adhesive thermal pad. You simply peel off the protective backing and press it firmly onto the raised section of the CPU.
Is this official Raspberry Pi 5 case available in Hong Kong?
Yes, we stock the official Raspberry Pi 5 Case (SC1159) at our Sham Shui Po physical store. You can order it online for delivery or visit us during business hours for immediate pickup.
