**Type:** Product page · **SKU:** CE10298 · **Brand:** [52Pi](https://core-electronics.com.au/brands/52pi-australia)
**Page:** https://core-electronics.com.au/52pi-low-profile-cooler-for-pi-5.html ([markdown](https://core-electronics.com.au/52pi-low-profile-cooler-for-pi-5.html.md))

Efficient compact cooler with quad heat pipes and aluminium fins, Raspberry Pi OS natively controls the fan and adjusts speed automatically.

## Pricing

- **Price:** $34.95 (inc GST) — $31.77 AUD, exc GST

## Availability & dispatch

- In stock, ships same business day if ordered before 2PM (Australia/Sydney).
- We can dispatch 10 today; more stock is typically available with a 12–35 day lead time.

## How to buy

- **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=CE10298:1` (comma-separated SKU:qty pairs) and share the link. Opening it shows a confirmation page with live pricing and stock before anything is added to the cart.
- **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/CE10298:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.)
- **Checkout** is completed on-site and includes a captcha at the payment step. Share the cart link; checkout takes it from there.
- **Search the catalogue:** `https://core-electronics.com.au/search/{query}.md` (URL-encode the query; pages 2-3 at `search/{query}/{page}.md`; `search.md?q=` also works)

## Description

Low-Profile Plus CPU Cooler keeps the high-performance processor in the Pi 5 running at stable temperatures easily. A dense aluminium fin stack, copper heatpipes and an integrated, direct-exhaust fan work together to move heat away fast.

Built for tidy, quiet systems, it suits space-constrained projects and media centres while delivering consistent thermal headroom.

Four 5mm copper heat pipes connect the aluminium block attached to the Raspberry Pi 5 *(we think it looks like an exhaust manifold!)* to transfer heat to the finned heatsink section where the PWM fan (with Pi 5 fan connector) can efficiently draw heat away.

The cooler includes a solid metal base plate that removes heat from the underside of your Raspberry Pi 5, assisted with a huge thermal pad.

Above all - it really does look awesome! Your little computer now has big computer looks, and the cooling performance to match.

### Technical Specifications

- Product: Low-Profile Plus CPU Cooler
- Thermal design: Copper heatpipe array with aluminium fins for high surface area and efficient heat transfer
- Cooling airflow: Integrated direct heat exhaust fan, optimised for quiet operation
- Form factor: Low-profile design for compact enclosures and HTPC-style builds
- Usage note: Strong passive dissipation can keep temperatures below the first threshold, so the fan may not spin during light loads. Stress testing can briefly raise temperature above 50 C to verify operation.
 
### Features

- **Efficient Cooling**: The quad-copper pipe design ensures effective heat dissipation, keeping your Raspberry Pi 5 operating at optimal temperatures even under heavy loads.
- **Stylish Design**: The metal fins enhance cooling performance and add 'big computer' looks to your Raspberry Pi setup.
- **Durable Construction**: Constructed from high-quality materials, built to last
- **Easy Installation**: With a standard 4-pin JST Pi 5 fan connector, installation is quick and hassle-free
- **Compatibility**: Designed specifically for Raspberry Pi 5
- **Enhanced Performance**: By effectively dissipating heat, the Low-profile ICE Tower Plus helps prevent thermal throttling, ensuring consistent performance

**Note**: The fan will not spin until your Raspberry Pi 5 hits 60°C, and will then gradually increase speed with the temperature. This is controlled by the Raspberry Pi OS kernel.
