![]() We had power buttons on home computers in the 1970s, but the Raspberry Pi has never had one, until now. I know that for many of us this isn’t earth shattering news. The Raspberry Pi 5 introduces a new feature, a power button. Carefully with some needle nose pliers or using a plastic pen tube to squeeze and push the plastic pins. The active cooler uses push-fit plastic / nylon plugs to hold the cooler in place. One next to the USB C port, the other between the GPIO and the USB ports. Rather than attach to the M2.5 mounting holes, the active cooler has its own mounting holes. It cools the Arm based SoC, RAM and the new RP1 chip. The cooler is a mix of aluminum heatsink (with a lovely anodized Raspberry Pi logo) and blower fan. We tested out the official Raspberry Pi Active Cooler and it worked rather well. The Raspberry Pi 5 is a hot slice of Raspberry Pi and that means, to get the best performance, we need cooling. ![]() But drop in the active cooler and the Pi 5 drops to 59.3 C giving us exceptional processing power while staying relatively cool. Where the Raspberry Pi 4 beats the Pi 5 is its stress test temperature with no cooling: 79.8 C versus the Pi 5’s 86.7 C (thermal throttled). That’s approximately 1W more power for the Pi 5, for a lot more computational power. Under stress, we see the temperature jump to 79.8 C and the Pi 4 consumes 6.2 W of power. The question on your lips right now is “How does this compare to the Raspberry Pi 4?” At idle, the Raspberry Pi 4 runs at 45.7 C and consumes 1.02 W. ![]() Quad core Cortex-A72 64-bit CPU running at 1.8 GHzĨ00 MHz VideoCore VII GPU, supporting OpenGL ES 3.1, Vulkan 1.2Ģ x 4Kp60 HDMI display output with HDR supportĢ × 4-lane MIPI camera/display transceiversĤ-pole stereo audio and composite video port Arm Cortex-A76 64-bit CPU running at 2.4 GHz
