Installation of Cooling Fin and Cooling Fan
PI-SG565D has excellent performance, which also leads to significant CPU heat generation. An active cooler is an alternative cooling solution to ensure the stable operation of PI-SG565D. The active cooler combines a large metal heat sink with a PWM fan that is also powered and controlled through a fan connector and connected to the PCB of PI-SG565D using a pair of spring pins in the mounting holes. PI-SG565D does not have a cooling fin or cooling fan by default, so you need to install it yourself. You can purchase an active cooler from Waveshare: https://www.waveshare.net/shop/Pi5-Active-Cooler-B.htm.
The active cooler is an anodized aluminum heatsink that is monolithically constructed for optimal heat dissipation. It has a built-in cooling fan and includes a pre-coated thermal conductive pad for heat transfer.
Installation steps:
Directly insert the cooler into the FAN connector provided by PCB.
