Heat sink for Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5

Description

Visit Compute Module 5 Passive Cooler is a heat sink custom-designed for the Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5 (CM5). Constructed from high-quality aluminum, it provides reliable, noise-free passive cooling to maintain the CM5's stability and performance, even under intensive or prolonged use.

Optimized heat dissipation

The solid aluminum design with dissipation fins maximizes heat transfer to the surrounding air. A pre-installed thermal pad ensures efficient heat conduction from the processor and the CM5's main components to the heatsink. As a result, the module remains under thermal control, avoiding the risk of overheating and throttling.

Compact, perfect fit

The heatsink adopts the exact dimensions of the Compute Module 5 (56 × 41 × 12.7 mm). Its carefully designed size enables conflict-free integration on official or third-party carrier boards, while maintaining access to connectors and ensuring clean assembly.

Simple, secure installation

The kit includes the heatsink, an integrated thermal pad and a set of screws/washers (M2.5). Installation is intuitive: simply attach the heatsink directly to the module inserted in its IO board. The uniform pressure exerted by the screws ensures optimal, long-lasting contact.

Silent cooling

Unlike active solutions (fans), this cooler is entirely passive. With no moving parts, it produces no noise, requires no maintenance, and is unlikely to wear out mechanically. It's the perfect solution for noise-sensitive environments such as classrooms, laboratories or studios.

Durability and reliability

Made from sturdy aluminum, it is designed to last and support the long production life expected of the CM5. Its simple, solid design makes it equally well-suited to educational projects as to industrial or embedded applications, where reliability is a priority.

Recommended uses

• Compact servers NAS, mini-servers or CM5-based network systems.
• Embedded projects Where the absence of active ventilation is an advantage (robots, stand-alone installations).
• Industrial applications monitoring, automation, embedded systems in continuous operation.
• Educational facilities Perfect for workshops or classrooms, thanks to its ease of installation and safety features.

Thermal performance

Tests show that with this heatsink, Compute Module 5 maintains temperatures well below critical thresholds even under full load. This improves overall system stability and extends hardware life by limiting extreme thermal cycling.

Conclusion

Visit Compute Module 5 Passive Cooler is a simple, effective and durable solution for managing the CM5's heat. With its compact design, absolute silence and effortless installation, it is the essential accessory for reliable operation of the Compute Module 5, whether for educational, professional or industrial purposes.
