Dedicated Aluminum Heatsink for Compute Module 4

This aluminum heatsink is designed specifically for the Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4. It provides corrosion and oxidation resistance for durable thermal management. The simple design allows straightforward installation onto the module and compatible base boards.

Upgrades Passive Cooling on CM4 Boards

It replaces the stock thermal pad or bare operation on a Compute Module 4. The jump is worth it when sustained workloads cause throttling or when the module runs in an enclosed case without active airflow. The dedicated fit ensures proper contact with the SoC.

Handles Moderate Sustained Loads in Enclosed Spaces

The heatsink comfortably manages typical compute tasks and moderate sustained workloads by spreading heat across its aluminum body. It runs out of headroom under heavy continuous multi-core loads or in high ambient temperatures where active cooling becomes necessary. Space is reserved for an antenna section, though the antenna itself is not included.
