80-100 bucks for the pi 5. 30 bucks for this cooler. 15 bucks for power supply 30-60 for a decent size sd card 20+ for case. An average pi5 setup these days is easily 150-250 bucks. Long gone are the days of 75 total bucks for a cool decently powered little machine for homelab or emulation. At that price point might as well get a small n100 system that is way more powerful and not that much bigger in foot print and has everything Included.
Or you can go with a used or "refurbed" mini/micro/tiny system from hp/dell/lenovo. Even older ones are far better than any pi or even n100 systems. And they can be upgraded, some even have a pcie slot. Pi5 makes no sense for hobbyists.
Yeah, I remember buying a pi 3 and a power supply, must have cost me about 45 pounds total and playing loads of games on it. Was pretty exciting to have something so cheap that I could do all sorts with (inevitably emulation lol) I guess their main customers are probably now industrial
Came in to say the same thing. The increased cost and power and cooling requirements of these devices make them fairly pointless for anyone but the biggest DIY enthusiasts. Too many better options at that price range. The Pi 5 even has lower efficiency than the n100 as well despite its lower performance, with a tdp of 12w compared to the n100's 6w. The company is making a mistake by chasing performance instead of efficiency when the entire appeal of the pi was that they were small, required little power, and were very cheap.
yeah, i like the pi's but it makes more sense to buy a 5500-5700 amd mini pc. you can find them for 200-250ish bucks and it will just blow the pi away. hell i'd rather have the N100 intel mini pc i have for 140 bucks. only issue with n100 is its single channel ram. if it was dual channel it would be over
My bet is leaving the fan at 10% speed would still be perceptibly silent and get almost the same cooling as the fan at 40%. There is always a massive difference between any amount of forced air movement vs. passive cooling.
I received my 10 days ago, with the stock pi fan settings, (OC to 2.8GHz) the fan doesn’t turn on till 49c when running stress berry. Overkill , Yes, but I like it.
The raspberry pi 5 has a multi core geek bench score around the same as an i5 2400 from 2011. It's getting to the point where these are too expensive to be viable for pretty much anything other than specialist applications
They're $60/80 in stores by me, in stock, and they're going to be making them for a LONG time- prices *should* fall. It's becoming a much more competitive market too
Now just need a board that moves all the side display and power port to the back and it would look like an ITX board, except when you actually compare their size it is so much smaller.
This is mostly just for fun. The Pi 5 doesn't need anything nearly this beefy even when stressed and overclocked, and it's also an aftermarket (IE Raspberry Pi doesn't make this)
@@JaaxfoYeah, the 'mostly' part is what I am concerned about. While the performance of the Pi went from 'a gimmick' to 'almost usable' the power and cooling requirements followed, while on the high end computers are becoming more efficient in these regards. I bet the Pi still beats them bang for buck but its just a practical sentiment I am experiencing (for context: I just want to put a computer in something battery powered and don't worry too much about power and cooling)
@@danosdotnl I think that's entirely fair, depending on what you need it to do, an ESP32 might be a good option. They can drive displays directly and have really good low power modes. I have one that runs a little eInk display. It wakes up and grabs data to display every hour. I have it on a 500mAh LiPo and it has been two months since I charged it. Of course they are much more limited being a microcontroller, but data collection or low-power displays are really good use cases
@@horacegentleman3296 And if your use-case is nothing more than general compute, such as a homelab server, then those are absolutely better options. Hell, even before the global parts shortage I used an Alienware Alpha as a home server because it was more capable than a Pi, still low power, and I got it for the low price of 0$
I prefer noctuas 200mm fans for their low noise and high efficiency. Argon should bring a 2*200mm sandwich design cooler for the pi 5 and maybe pi zero 2w.
That's... A bit much. Looks great, but I would be very happy with a 40mm tower cooler with the same Argon build quality. The old Ice Tower was great, just kinda janky build quality.
I'm sorry but this could keep a low-end AMD or Intel CPU and check. Probably the steam deck if you wanted to and it would do even better than the original stock
Hi everyone, I'm more than a neophyte in the Linux and Raspberry environment, I bought a Pi5 with 8GB of RAM to host a Minecraft server 24/7 with some of my friends. I recently bought this fan but I can't find any "program" or script online that allows me to adjust the speed, at the moment every time I turn it on it goes at maximum rpm and makes a lot of noise. Could anyone help me?
I shouldn't of bought the orange zero 2 , I don't like pi boards that don't have heat sink hole slots . why make a board with no way to lock the heat sink down good.
This has to be the dumbest sh-t I've seen in a while. RBPi needs to get their stuff together and not have a CPU the temp of Mercury on a saltine-sized board.
80-100 bucks for the pi 5.
30 bucks for this cooler.
15 bucks for power supply
30-60 for a decent size sd card
20+ for case.

$100 more you could just buy something like a steam deck kinda sucks that its no longer cheap

What's better than be cool? ICE COLD.

I'm getting Tricked out Honda Civic vibes!
😂
VTEC kicked in YO
I know cooler temps lets you use the CPU to its fullest, but that just makes it look like a snail
It really needs more copper and a back plate to prevent from PCB bending.
The best kill is overkill!
This is going to be dope if we get a Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5!
Not if but when! Though this cooler would need to be adapted to mount in a cm5 depending on what carrier board is used
@@JeffGeerling
And we have special appearance of Jeff Geerling!
What we really need is a Raspberries Pi Cluster board that holds between 4-8 RP 5 compute modules!
(Even better put it in a laptop form factor!)
What about 100% fan?
The raspberry pi 5 has a multi core geek bench score around the same as an i5 2400 from 2011.
It's getting to the point where these are too expensive to be viable for pretty much anything other than specialist applications
They still make the Pi Zero for $15
They're $60/80 in stores by me, in stock, and they're going to be making them for a LONG time- prices *should* fall. It's becoming a much more competitive market too
Not really sure what your point it, a system built on the i5 2400 would draw several times more power, and be physically larger.
Is not overkill for those of us who live in tropical countries :)
Can't wait for an nh-d15 for the pi
What is the enclosure for this combo? Or is it just for the pictures?
Now just need a board that moves all the side display and power port to the back and it would look like an ITX board, except when you actually compare their size it is so much smaller.
Now all it needs is a case...
Anlamıyorum ama dinliyorum 😊😊
Try replacing the thermal pads with GELID extreme 1.5mm
Is RPI reinventing the full desktop tower? Seriously this PI is already more inconvenient to carry than a 12 year old Macbook Air
This is mostly just for fun. The Pi 5 doesn't need anything nearly this beefy even when stressed and overclocked, and it's also an aftermarket (IE Raspberry Pi doesn't make this)
It's also cheaper to buy an old MacBook or thinkpad.

would want this on an am5 mainboard
it says 30 bucks is it 20 on their site?
wheres the case?

I have one, Can't understand how i turn on the fan.
I reached 75 celsius on the cpu and still wont work.
looks like a snail.🐌🐌🐌
i def won't be getting that because it doesn't work with my setup or with any of my chosen cases. very, very niche product.
😂 so big 😮 defeats the whole small form factor....🤔
For the price this is actually a really nice accessory
cute lol tiny cooler
Finally a good video
Hey Aussies. Pi-Mania have these in stock!
i have this with argon poly+ 5 case as a base
Really good video, thank you for sharing :)
So. Fan Disabled - 34*C, Fan 40% - 38.4*C ? :D
how thick is the thermal pad
I'm sorry but this could keep a low-end AMD or Intel CPU and check. Probably the steam deck if you wanted to and it would do even better than the original stock
Nice 😊
dB noise?
Someone needs to make a micro size AIO liquid cooler and then you could keep the chip near room temperature at full workload.
There already is a water cooler for the pi 5 sold by 52pi i believe
The v3 is sold out still.
this is not a cooler for the raspberry, it's a raspberry for the cooler!
Wow, your CPU is cooler than my room temperature.
how can I attach this and a M.2 NVME?
There are many NVMe HAT+ boards that mount below the Pi 5 instead of on top, Pimoroni and PineBerry Pi make some
@@Jaaxfo thank you
Would this fit on the pi 4 b?
Reminds me of the hood of a funny car…. except for SBCs. Part of me wants one lol

Wow 😂😂.Beefy
That Neo 5 performance is horrible. Why didn't your chart include V3?
ETA, are you going to be reviewing the Argon NEO 5 M.2 NVMe PCIe case?
I'm a big proponent of overkill.
I trust a raspberry pi far more than a mass produced Chinese mini pc. The reason they are so cheap is that *you* the consumer are the product.
Now we just need a case to go with it.
Hit that Like Button
when you may only afford accessories for a single Pi but not more Pis:
Bruhh you can just spit on it and it will still be cool since it's so small 😂
What are you people doing with your Pis lmao
Day 90 of asking for a PC for my college.
This needs to stop
What are you referring to?
@@Zoyxuseless pi accessories is my guess. And i agree with that.
Yes, this needs to stop. Everyone knows that water cooling the Pi is the best way to go.
@@ezg8448 - Obviously!
I actually think that cooler is really cool because for example if your fan dies rp will still work at full capacity
This is so d*mb 😂
Can you give me your one unboxed pc
This has to be the dumbest sh-t I've seen in a while. RBPi needs to get their stuff together and not have a CPU the temp of Mercury on a saltine-sized board.
1st
First 😊
Congrats
this completely destroys the purpose of a Rpi... it makes it huge...
When this POS devices got so expensive and inefficient?
Purpose = defeated. Just go for mini-itx at this point.
