The Raspberry Pi 5 Case is purpose-built to house your Raspberry Pi 5 board while providing essential features for optimal performance and protection. Here’s what you need to know:

 

Design and Construction:

    • The case is a clip-together four-part enclosure, making assembly straightforward. No need for screws or complicated maneuvers.
    • It features the iconic Raspberry Pi red and white color scheme, instantly recognizable to enthusiasts.
    • The material composition includes ABS (base, frame, and lid) and PC (fan assembly), ensuring durability.

Active Cooling Fan:

    • The standout feature of this case is its integrated variable-speed cooling fan. This fan is as clever as it is cool!
    • The fan connects directly to the dedicated fan header on the Raspberry Pi 5 PCB.
    • Why is this important? Well, it keeps your Raspberry Pi 5 at a comfortable operating temperature, even when you’re pushing it hard with resource-intensive tasks.

Thermal Considerations:

    • The case has been refined from the Raspberry Pi 4 case to accommodate the higher peak power consumption of the Raspberry Pi 5.
    • Improved thermal features ensure that your Pi 5 remains cool and stable during demanding workloads.

Additional Features:

    • A 12mm × 17mm × 4mm heatsink with a self-adhesive pad enhances heat transfer from the processor.
    • The lid is easily removable, allowing access to the fan and providing a breakout slot for cables and GPIO.
    • Integrated mounting features allow for stacking multiple cases if needed.
    • You can also attach HATs (Hardware Attached on Top) to the enclosure using stand-offs and GPIO header extenders (not included).

Technical Specifications:

    • Input voltage: 5V DC supplied via the four-pin fan header on the Raspberry Pi 5.
    • Fan speed control: Pulse width modulation (PWM) control with tachometer.
    • Maximum airflow: 2.79 CFM.
    • Maximum fan speed: 8000 RPM ± 15%.

 

In summary, this case combines form and function, ensuring your Raspberry Pi 5 stays both stylish and cool. Whether you’re building a media center, a home server, or an IoT project, this case has your back!
