Great tutorial! Worked first time with a few rewinds on my part. My Pi5 rocks TH-cam, multiple windows and reboots. 512 NVME from Raspberry Pi. Great hardware and project support.
Nice video. I have not heard about that extender for the Cannakit case. Could you make a follow up video with what the thermals are like? That’s something I’d really like to know with the board not being too far up above the heat sink and fan.
Yes, thank you for your feedback! I wanted to show where that could be specifically set. Some may leave the microSD card in the slot and wonder why the Pi 5 isn't booting from the NVMe. This way, it will always boot from the NVMe drive.
Awesome that you got it setup and thank you for your kind comments! The app is called stress. Here is the command to first install it, then run it: wagnerstechtalk.com/rpi5/#Stress_Test
Thanks for the clear video! Question - How do we use the gpio pins after installing the hat? What kind of connectors are needed and what pins are available for use after installing the hat?
I've not tested that since I don't have a 4-pin male cable handy. It "should" be usable as the pins pass through into the gpio but the opposite side (the side facing up) is now a female connector.
@@WagnersTechTalk so I bought the hat and added an nvme storage module. The top of the gpio is not exactly a female now. I wasn't able to stick in a male jumper wire I use with a breadboard. I was however able to verify that the gpio pin works by holding/touching the jumper wire against the top. But it's a bummer that I can't affix a jumper wire anymore with the hat!
The job is going great (long hours and plenty of work), I can't talk specifics and don't want to sound like I'm in marketing (I'm not), so I'll just leave it at that 😎 Thank you for asking!
I have a question 🙋♂️ why was the active cooler used instead of the Mega heat sink with a fan? I would also like to know if there’s any functional difference? I see the active cooler retails for $5 and the Mega heat sink retails for 12
@@PGOLD-DALGO It's held up just fine, it's very quiet. However, I'm going to be releasing a video soon about another option that you may find interesting.
@@WagnersTechTalk outside of Cana kit case extended do you know of any other similar cases that are not metal. I just acquired one with a M.two in the VM on top and thanks to you. I was able to successfully build it.
Glad to hear you got it built! I've not personally used anything other than the Official Pi5 case, CanaKit, MarsKit and now the Pironman 5 - at this point.
Hello I bought a raspberry pi 5 I've got a 32 gig micro SD card I followed your I followed your instructions on TH-cam to do the raspberry pi raspberry pi 5 and for some reason is still not booting up and it still not showing me the screen what you've done on yours I've shot since yesterday afternoon now to get it set up
A couple things that may help: * Power-off the Pi 5. Make sure the microHDMI to HDMI cable is connected to the port nearest the USB-C power cable. * Make sure that the image for the operating system has been written to the microSD card (i.e. Pi Desktop, Ubuntu, etc.) * Power-on connected display, then the Pi 5. If you aren't seeing any video signal, a few things to try: * Check the HDMI Video source on your TV/Monitor to make sure it's set/working properly. * Use a different microHDMI to HDMI cable. I've received at least one bad cable over the years, if you have a 2nd, try it. * Ensure that you see the green LED on the Pi 5 indicating it's powering on and booting (should flash when reading from the microSD card). If not, you may have a defective Pi 5 and reach out to the seller for a replacement. The above should help.
I assume you mean off-grid. If so, then you may want to try adding a monitor like this one (or similar): amzn.to/4fohh0O while running the software you plan to run. Then calculate the power draw for 10 hours to find a power bank that will support it. Exactly the size you'll need will be based on average usage requirements and the solar array that will recharge the battery. Just my general thinking, I've not personally done this before but where I'd start.
I'm wondering if it is compatible with Waveshare PoE HAT (F)? I'm looking into making RPi5 + PoE + NVMe setup. I particulary like Pimoroni NVMe Base for Raspberry Pi 5, however it's bit of a thick assembly, I would like it to be a bit more compact.
I've not personally tested the Waveshare PoE HAT + M.2 HAT + NVMe configuration. I can't honestly say, but there is a bit of extra room in the CanaKit case (with the extender added), which may support both being installed. But I don't know for sure.
Great quick video. Subscribed.
Awesome, thank you!
This video was such a great help. Perfectly instructed.
Thank you so much for your very kind comment and special thanks to the channel! It is very much appreciated!

Thank you so much for sharing your experience, glad it worked out for you!
This is amazing. I am assembling my first Pi (Pi 5) hopefully next week. Subscribed!
Welcome aboard!
Finished it! I have an awesome Pi 5 Retro Gaming setup now. Thanks mate!

Thank you, I'll report back on the max temp using the ActiveCooler + PiHat + NVMe.
thank you! very helpful and easy to understand
You're very welcome, thank you for watching!
Great job on the video! You installed the M.2 HAT over the active cooling fan, does this affect cooling by blocking airflow?
Thank you Sir! It doesn't obstruct the airflow too much, a slight 2-3 degree difference.
the pi will boot from the nvme drive if you simply remove the sd card; no need for the step where you changed the boot order
Yes, thank you for your feedback! I wanted to show where that could be specifically set. Some may leave the microSD card in the slot and wonder why the Pi 5 isn't booting from the NVMe. This way, it will always boot from the NVMe drive.
Could I use the ssd for storage and the operating system sits on the sd card
Sure, just install the OS to the microSd card and plug in the ssd.
what was the software used to show the results of the two speed tests? Is it in the repos? Great video; I just setup my rpi5 to boot from nvme.

I've not done a direct comparison between those two cooling options at this point.
@@WagnersTechTalk thank you for your response how has the active cooler held up with long use periods and is the fan loud?
@@PGOLD-DALGO It's held up just fine, it's very quiet. However, I'm going to be releasing a video soon about another option that you may find interesting.

Instead of copying Raspbian on the SSD, could you use the imager to install an Ubuntu server on the SSD? Thank you in advance!
Yes. You could also use PINN to install both. Please see this : th-cam.com/video/-eICl_RqdAE/w-d-xo.html

i love this. but can cannakit be shipped to the philippines?
Not sure, you could ask them directly here: www.canakit.com/Contact
How effective is the active cooler with the hat above it? does it block airflow? Thanks
It works and slightly obstructs the airflow. That is, temps aren't as good as without the Hat.
I want to run this pi setup for at least 10 hours of grid , by using a powerbank. Is that possible?

can you use fydeOS with this set up? with the NVMe card? sorry i', not good at this 😁
I've not personally tried it on an NVMe, but if you can install to a microSD - most likely.

Do I need to use GPIO header 40 pin? On other videos they didn´t use it. Is it better with GPIO header? Thx
If you're going to use the Active Cooler/heat sinks (recommended), you'll need the extra clearance provided by the GPIO header/extender.
Wouldn't delimiting posts (columns) be enough?
