Why use a heatsink and a case, when you can use a heatsink case?! This sleek, anodised aluminium case for Raspberry Pi 5 will give you 10-15°C of passive cooling under full CPU load. Pretty cool.
It's great for situations where you want completely silent cooling and 100% reduction in dust-bunnies. Ideal for light industrial or home media settings.
It is also compatible with the official Camera and Display connectors and PCIe cables, unlike other heatsink RPI 5 cases we've seen, although you'll have to install these through the case before installing.
It comes with thermal pads to provide thermal contact between the Pi and case, and a handy allen key and set of hex bolts to attach the case together.
The case gives access to everything but the debug and RTC battery ports. You can just about get away with using low-profile HATs and pHATs (those without bulky components on the underside), using one of our booster headers, but be extremely careful not to short any components on the metal top case! If you are using a HAT with components on the bottom (or a ribbon extension cable) you may need to use two booster headers.

Notes
- The case is metal and hence conductive, so be careful not to short any components on it, and ensure that your Pi is powered off and unplugged when fitting the case.
- It may be obvious, but the case will get hot in use especially under sustained heavy system load!
- Dimensions: 87x56x25.5mm
