With a 3 A power supply, the total current of the USB ports is limited to 600 mA.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cooling<\/strong> : under sustained load, add an active cooler or a ventilated case, never both on the same fan connector.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cameras and displays<\/strong> : the Pi 5 connectors use the small 22-pin format. A camera with a 15-pin ribbon requires an adapter cable.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Pi 4 accessories<\/strong> : Pi 4 cases and PoE HATs are not compatible (ports and PoE header relocated).<\/li>\n<li><strong>PCIe<\/strong> : the connector is an FFC ribbon; an NVMe SSD is mounted via an M.2 HAT or an equivalent board.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Bare board<\/strong> : the Pi 5 is supplied without a case or accessories.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Recommended accessories<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/monraspberry.com\/en\/product\/raspberry-pi-usb-c-27w-power-supply\/\">Official 27 W USB-C power supply<\/a> : negotiates the 5 V 5 A profile and unlocks 1.6 A on the USB ports.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/monraspberry.com\/en\/product\/ventilateur-dissipateur-pour-raspberry-pi-5\/\">Official fan \/ heatsink (Active Cooler)<\/a> : PWM-controlled fan for use without a case.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/monraspberry.com\/en\/product\/boitier-officiel-raspberry-pi-5\/\">Official Raspberry Pi 5 case<\/a> : built-in fan, to choose instead of the Active Cooler.<\/li>\n<li>Official M.2 HAT+: for a 2230 or 2242 NVMe SSD.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/monraspberry.com\/en\/product\/official-raspberry-pi-micro-hdmi-to-hdmi-cable\/\">official micro-HDMI to HDMI cable<\/a> : essential for connecting an HDMI display.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Uses and projects<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Network ad blocker<\/strong> such as Pi-hole or AdGuard Home: 2 GB is very comfortable.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Home automation<\/strong> : a reasonably sized Home Assistant installation.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Vision and robotics<\/strong> : official camera, sensors on the GPIO and motors.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Beginner station<\/strong> : Python programming and electronics.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Read: <a href=\"https:\/\/monraspberry.com\/en\/decouvrez-le-raspberry-pi-5-en-version-2gb-ram\/\">our overview of the Raspberry Pi 5 2GB<\/a> and the Raspberry Pi 5 vs Raspberry Pi 4 comparison.<\/p>\n<h2>Frequently asked questions<\/h2>\n<h3>Is the Raspberry Pi 5 2GB slower than the 8GB?<\/h3>\n<p>No, the processor and GPU are identical.
