Product description
A CPU cooler for the single-board computer significantly reduces the processor temperature under load. The aluminum housing dissipates heat from the Broadcom chip, while the 40-millimeter fan generates a constant airflow. The RGB LEDs in the cooling fin can be controlled via a digital data line and illuminate as desired or automatically as a temperature indicator.
The heatsink is attached directly to the processor using the included thermal paste. Installation options include plug-in mounting via the GPIO header or a screw connection to the housing. The fan draws its 5-volt power supply from the GPIO connector, so no additional cable is required. RGB LED control uses one GPIO pin for digital signals.
Cooling is useful wherever the Raspberry Pi 4 performs sustained tasks, requires significant computing power, or is operated in higher temperatures. Examples include long-term measurement data acquisition, demanding image processing, or continuous operation as a network server. Without active cooling, the processor throttles its clock frequency as soon as a threshold is exceeded to protect itself. The cooler significantly prevents or delays this throttling.
A Raspberry Pi 4 is required for operation. RGB LED control requires a Python script or similar software, as the colors do not light up without programming. The heatsink does not fit next to large-volume HAT modules; the height should be measured beforehand when using space-saving add-ons.
Safety information
The device is not intended for connection to the household power supply and is exclusively intended for use in prototyping, testing, and development projects. Care must be taken when applying the thermal paste and attaching the cooler to the processor to avoid contaminating other components. If you have questions about correct installation, consult a qualified electrician before commissioning.
