## Description

The 52Pi Aluminum Heatsink with Active Cooling Fan is a high-performance thermal management solution specifically engineered for the Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5 (CM5). This compact yet powerful cooling assembly combines a precision-machined aluminum heatsink with an integrated high-speed cooling fan to deliver exceptional heat dissipation performance. Designed to maintain optimal operating temperatures under heavy workloads, this heatsink features a low-profile form factor that seamlessly integrates with CM5-based projects. The aluminum construction provides excellent thermal conductivity, while the active fan ensures continuous airflow across the heatsink fins for rapid heat removal. The 4-pin PWM fan connector allows for precise speed control and temperature-based automatic regulation when paired with compatible carrier boards.

<strong>Note: This heatsink is NOT compatible with the Raspberry Pi Super6C carrier board due to mechanical interference and mounting hole misalignment.</strong>
