Metal Case for Raspberry Pi 5

This metal enclosure protects the Raspberry Pi 5 4GB and 8GB boards from dust, scratches and physical damage. It provides full access to the USB-C power jack, micro HDMI ports, USB ports, Ethernet jack, SD card slot, power button and MIPI DSI/CSI connectors. The package includes the case, an active cooler, a screwdriver and a screw pack.

Active Cooler with PWM Fan

The included active cooler combines an aluminium heatsink with a PWM fan to maintain optimal operating temperatures for the Raspberry Pi 5. This cooling solution replaces passive heatsink-only setups and becomes worthwhile when sustained workloads cause thermal throttling on the bare board. The cooler mounts directly onto the processor for efficient heat dissipation.

PCIe Peripheral Board Support

The case accommodates X1000, X1001, X1003, N04 and N05 PCIe peripheral boards, adding expansion capability for storage or I/O add-ons. It comfortably handles typical maker projects and edge-computing tasks that benefit from active cooling and extra PCIe devices. Builds requiring more than one peripheral board or a different form factor will not fit this enclosure.

Questions about this item

Will this metal case fit a Raspberry Pi 5 with a 1000 PCIe peripheral board attached?

Yes, the case is designed for Raspberry Pi 5 4GB/8GB boards and supports X1000, X1001, X1003, N04 and N05 PCIe peripheral boards.

How do I install the active cooler, and what step is often missed?

Mount the aluminium heatsink onto the Pi 5 CPU, connect the PWM fan to the board's fan header, then secure the metal case using the included screwdriver and screw pack; the step often missed is plugging in the fan cable before closing the case.

What maintenance will the active cooler need over time?

The PWM fan and aluminium heatsink should be cleaned of dust periodically to maintain optimal cooling performance for the Raspberry Pi 5.
