Argon NEO 5 case for Raspberry Pi 5: aluminum and fan in a compact format
L'Argon NEO 5 has been redesigned to meet the thermal needs of the Raspberry Pi 5. Its finned aluminum shell acts as a heatsink, air intakes let fresh air in and a 30 mm PWM fan expels the hot air. Compact, assembled in three parts and fitted with a power button, it is one of the best-balanced Pi 5 cases in terms of protection, cooling and footprint.
Highlights
- Passive and active cooling : fins, air intakes and 30 mm PWM fan.
- Quality aluminum that protects the board from knocks.
- Screwed, removable top cover : the ports are protected and all remain accessible once the cover is removed.
- Built-in power button and LED display.
- Optional microSD card cover to protect your data.
- Mounting points to install the case on a bracket.

Which one should you choose?
| Model | NVMe | Cooling | Ideal for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Argon NEO 5 | non | aluminum + 30 mm fan | compact Pi 5 on microSD |
| Argon NEO 5 M.2 NVMe | 1 slot | identical + SSD heatsink | server or home automation box on SSD |
| Flirc Raspberry Pi 5 | non | passive only | living room, total silence |
| Argon Poly+ 5 | non | to be added | HATs, tight budget |
Our advice: if an SSD is in your plans, even in the medium term, go straight for the NEO 5 M.2 NVMe. Otherwise, the NEO 5 is the ideal choice for a well-cooled, discreet Pi 5. The face-off with the Flirc is detailed in our Flirc 5 versus Argon NEO 5 comparison.
Compatibility and pitfalls to avoid
- Raspberry Pi 5 only : for a Pi 4, see the dedicated Argon NEO.
- Cooling included : do not add the official Active Cooler on top of the case fan.
- No NVMe SSD in this version.
- Video outputs : the Pi 5 keeps its micro-HDMI ports; get the right cable.
- Power supply : a 27 W USB-C power supply avoids the Pi 5's USB current limitation.
Recommended accessories
- The official 27 W USB-C power supply : the 5 A the Pi 5 expects.
- The official micro-HDMI to HDMI cable for your screen.
- A SanDisk Ultra microSD card for the system.
- The Raspberry Pi 5 8 GB if you are building a complete setup.
Uses and projects
- Home automation box Compact, reliable Home Assistant.
- Pi-hole or VPN server installed on a bracket using the mounting points.
- Linux desktop or development machine.
- retro gaming console kept cool.

Frequently asked questions
Does the Argon NEO 5 have a fan?
Yes, a built-in 30 mm PWM fan, combined with aluminum fins and air intakes.
Can I fit an NVMe SSD in the Argon NEO 5?
Not in this version. The Argon NEO 5 M.2 NVMe adds an expansion with an SSD slot under the board.
