## Description

Give your [Raspberry Pi 5](https://core-electronics.com.au/raspberry-pi/raspberry-pi-5-boards-kits-and-accessories.html#category_4580) the a way to keep itself cool along with the rock-solid protection it deserves. Machined from aluminium, this two-part enclosure turns the entire case into a heatsink THEN a single larger fan pushes air past the fins cooling the main chips on the board.

Keep noise down with a [passive](https://core-electronics.com.au/passive-pi-5-heatsink-case-black.html) case or if you want to keep your Pi 5 super cool we have a case with [dual-fans](https://core-electronics.com.au/dual-fan-case-for-raspberry-pi-5-black.html).

### What’s in the box?

- **CNC-milled aluminium top & bottom shell** – tough, lightweight
- **A larger single fan** – Actively push air across the fins of the heatsink, the fans connect easily through the Pi 5's fan connector
- **Pre-cut thermal pads** – create a direct thermal bridge from the Pi 5’s CPU (and RAM if you wish) to the case
- **Hex bolts + hex key** – for quick, secure assembly
- Full access to every **port, pin-header and connector** on the Raspberry Pi 5
- Compatible with [Raspberry Pi 5 only](https://core-electronics.com.au/raspberry-pi/raspberry-pi-5-boards-kits-and-accessories.html#category_4580)
 
### Assembly (5 minutes, tool included)

1. **Power down & unplug** your Pi 5.
2. **Apply thermal pad**: peel both films and place the pad on the CPU. Add a second pad on the RAM and other ICs if you’d like extra coverage.
3. **Sandwich the board**: align the top shell (fins up) over the CPU, position the bottom shell beneath the board, and hold together.
4. **Bolt it up** with the supplied hex screws.
5. **Connect the Fan**
 
### Using HATs & add-ons

Because the case hugs the Pi, standard HATs will need [2×20 header extenders](https://core-electronics.com.au/stacking-2x20.html) or a [ribbon cable](https://core-electronics.com.au/raspberry-pi-b-gpio-ribbon-cable-40-pin-6.html) to clear the case.

### Good-to-know

- The enclosure conducts heat and electricity – watch for accidental shorts when wiring up external circuits.
- The fans
- Dimensions: 87 × 56 × 25 mm (excluding port overhangs).
