How To Improve Pi 5 Cooling (kbin.run)

submitted 5 months ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

So I've got an 8GB Pi 5 with the offical Active Cooler and then the Pineberry NVME HAT on top in the Pi52 tall alumnium cooling case and thermals are not great. Looking for guidance and/or recommendations.

I already have the active cooler so I'm all out of fan headers, and I have 3 hard drives plugged in so I'm not sure about powering a whole USB fan.

I saw that Noctua finally came out with their desk fan and thought that may be a perfect solution. I was thinking of just slapping it under the Pi, but I was wondering if this would even make a difference.

Also wondering what the best configuration would be between push/pull & bottom/top or if anybody has better ideas, I'm all ears. Thank y'all!

I realize that in all reality I was a fool for not getting the Pineberry bottom NVME HAT so that I could still put an ICE tower on the Pi board, but I'm in too deep now
