CM5 Active Cooler: Ultimate Cooling for Raspberry Pi CM5

The EDATEC CM5 Active Cooler (ED-CM5ACOOLER) is a purpose-built thermal solution for the Raspberry Pi CM5, designed to deliver powerful and reliable cooling. Made from a CNC-cut aluminum profile, it offers excellent durability and heat dissipation to keep the CM5 running at peak performance.

In a 25°C environment under full CPU load, the cooler reduces CPU temperature by up to 27°C, lowering it from 84.3°C to 57.6°C. This allows the Raspberry Pi CM5 to maintain its maximum 2.4 GHz frequency without thermal throttling, making it ideal for demanding and long-term applications.

The cooler features a temperature-controlled 5 V blower fan with PWM control and a tachometer, automatically adjusting speed for efficient cooling with low noise. Even at its maximum 8000 RPM, it delivers 1.09 CFM airflow while producing just 27.7 dB of noise. Pre-installed thermal conductive silicone further improves heat transfer.

With compact dimensions (56.5 × 41 × 14.1 mm) and a lightweight 31 g design, it integrates easily into CM5 setups. Installation is simple thanks to the included screws and nylon gaskets. The CM5 Active Cooler is an ideal choice for industrial systems, maker projects, embedded applications, and edge computing that require stable, high-performance operation.

Features and Benefits:

• Exceptional cooling performance: Reduces Raspberry Pi CM5 CPU temperature by 27°C in a 25°C environment, enabling continuous operation at maximum 2.4 GHz frequency
• Temperature-controlled fan: 5 V_DC fan with pulse width modulation control (tachometer included) adjusts speed based on temperature, optimizing cooling efficiency and energy use
• Premium heat dissipation material: Aluminum profile construction (CNC cut) enhances durability and heat transfer, ensuring long-lasting cooling effectiveness
• Pre-installed thermal conductive silicone: Eliminates air gaps between the cooler and components, improving heat transfer for faster temperature reduction
• Quiet operation: Maximum noise level of only 27.7 dB, suitable for noise-sensitive environments
• Compact and lightweight: Dimensions of 56.5 mm x 41 mm x 14.1 mm and a weight of 31 g, fitting seamlessly with Raspberry Pi CM5 setups
• Easy installation: Comes with screws and nylon gaskets, enabling quick and hassle-free assembly with common tools
• Reliable fan specs: Max 8000 RPM speed, 1.09 CFM airflow, 0.75 W power consumption, and 0.15 ±0.02 A rated current for stable performance.

Applications:

• Raspberry Pi CM5-based industrial control systems requiring long-term stable operation
• High-performance maker projects (e.g., AI computing, data processing) that generate significant heat
• Embedded systems using Raspberry Pi CM5 in enclosed or high-temperature environments
• Educational and research setups where consistent CPU performance is essential
