Fan for Pi5???

rkorell

@sdetweil , @BKeyport :
In the meantime a GeeekPi Ultra Thin ICE Tower Cooler is arrived and just installed.
Fan is bigger than Pi - looks weird.

After 20 minutes temperature is at 52°C nothing to hear.
Keep you posted…

Thanks for your feedback so far!

@rkorell that is a beast!!!

@sdetweil :-) indeed ….
(Fits millimeter-exactly behind the mirror no more space left…)

But seems to work.

@rkorell I haven’t had any issues - it spreads the heat out much more than many of the setups, but it does work in keeping the system running without much noise. This is on a RasPi 5 that runs two mirrors - one with pages flipping all the time, the other showing camera feeds. Very process intensive. I got it initially because the pi was going to be visible - if I was going to use it in the config I have now, I’d likely go with something with a large heat sink and a quiet (Noctura?) fan.

@BKeyport OK, thanks for your viewpoint!
Than I‘m on the right way - still works today :-)
Temperature was 45°C today in the morning - was at 56° everytime before …
So even passive cooling seems to be much better.

Nice rest of weekeend to all of you.
