Raspberry Pi 5 2GB Model B

The Raspberry Pi 5 2GB Model B is the most affordable way to get Raspberry Pi 5 performance. It has the same 2.4GHz quad-core Arm Cortex-A76 processor, PCIe 2.0 interface and dual 4K outputs as the larger models, with 2GB of LPDDR4X RAM. It runs 2 to 3 times faster than the Raspberry Pi 4, making it ideal for dedicated single-purpose projects where you want speed without paying for memory you won't use.

Board only. The Raspberry Pi 5 does not include a power supply, case, cooler or microSD card. For everything in one box, see the Raspberry Pi 5 2GB Starter Kit - Beginners Collection or the Raspberry Pi 5 2GB Starter Kit - Barebones.

Who Is the 2GB Raspberry Pi 5 For?

The 2GB model suits headless projects that do one job well: a Pi-hole ad blocker, a 3D printer server running OctoPrint or Klipper, a sensor logger, a robot controller, a network appliance or a learning board for Python and electronics. Because these tasks use little memory, you get the full speed of the Pi 5 for less. If you want to run the full desktop, Home Assistant with many add-ons or several Docker containers, choose the Raspberry Pi 5 4GB or Raspberry Pi 5 8GB instead.

Recommended Accessories

• Power supply: The Official Raspberry Pi 5 27W USB-C Power Supply (also in black) delivers the 5V 5A the Pi 5 needs. With a standard 3A USB-C charger, the USB ports are limited to 600mA and you may get undervoltage warnings.
• Cooling: The Pi 5 throttles under sustained load without cooling. The Raspberry Pi 5 Active Cooler clips on and plugs into the fan header, keeping it at full speed.
• Case: Choose the Official Raspberry Pi 5 Case with built-in fan, or the fanless Aluminium Armoured Passive Cooling Case for silent operation. Browse all Raspberry Pi 5 cases.
• Storage: A 32GB microSD card preloaded with Raspberry Pi OS is all most 2GB projects need. For faster boot times, add the Raspberry Pi M.2 HAT+ Compact and a Raspberry Pi 256GB NVMe SSD.
• Display cable: The Pi 5 uses micro HDMI, so you need a 4K Micro HDMI to HDMI cable or a micro HDMI adapter to connect a standard monitor.

Expand Your Raspberry Pi 5

• Sensors and learning: The Raspberry Pi Sense HAT adds temperature, humidity, pressure and motion sensors plus an LED matrix, great for first projects.
• Cameras: Build a wildlife or monitoring camera with the Raspberry Pi Camera Module 3.
• Power over Ethernet: Run the Pi from a single network cable with the Raspberry Pi PoE+ HAT.

Popular Uses

• Pi-hole network-wide ad blocker
