Great video, you answered several questions I had!
Your volume is kind of low relative to other vids on YT.
You're the first person that has shown the official case and cooler in much detail, thank you!
I've never liked the Raspberryp official plastic case. I think it's not the good one for heat cooling.
Yes, I also think it is better to wait for custom cases. But that is the problem when you buy on day one.
I will receive my pi5 this week but I havent ordered the active cooling.. Just the case as of now.
I would be very interested in a comparison of case fan vs active cooling fan for temps/OC as well as noise.
Also the heatsink seems ridiculously tiny, do you think bigger ones will eventually come out? If so, do you recommend waiting and keep using the case without active cooling or just order the active cooler right away.
Thanks
I think the active cooler is noisy. I'd recommend to use the fan in the case and see if you can run it without attaching the heat sink. But I don't recommend overclocking, until you have found a better cooling solution. I'm sure there will come plenty of custom cooling solutions for the Pi 5.
OK thank you
The pi without the active cooling seems to hit the thermal limit quite rapidly tho@@LivingLinux
Here's two options: ruclips.net/video/QUgltsRPlMU/видео.html
You loaded image of ubuntu in sdcard first? Or it comes with inbuild os?
Sorry for this question but I got 8gb version pi 5 but it is my first pi. Thanks.
Yes, I downloaded the Ubuntu image. It doesn't come with any OS. Unless you bought a micro SD with an image.
That case with its top must be used with its original fan, the air going out through the bottom of the case, explaning why the rubber feet and openings. If you strangely use together that case and the active cooler, don't put the top of the case because with it the air enter and goes out by the same openings, that cannot works, furthermore the radiator is enclosed and stay in the hot air making it useless. This is why the fan makes a lot of sound : it is at max speed without result, it is almost like the case has no openings. With the active cooler better use the pibow box.
also, do not force to assemble that case, one side must be inserted before the other each time, just exchange the order of the sides you enter when you cannot, and don't try to enter both sides at the same time
The top of the case still lets air through. Otherwise the original case fan would have a problem too. The fan was running at max speed, because the current Ubuntu image doesn't do temperature control. You can fix this with a script. ruclips.net/video/M--nU_Zg-ZQ/видео.html
@@LivingLinux In the official case, when the top is in place, the ventilator is the alone opening on the top, thanks to the transparent section and the also part of the top closing the opening to access the GPIO pins => when the top is in place and the fan is running, the air enters through the fan and the top, without being able to go out around the fan to reach back the top and then nor to go out from it, the air can only go out from the bottom of the case. So fresh air enters from the top, and hot air goes out from the bottom, no possible mix => that works. But when the active cooler is in the case, of course without the original fan and transparent section, all is open around the fan, rather than to have a part upper the fan separated with the part under the fan => it is the same air that is sucked in and exhaled by the fan => only a small part of the hot air goes out of the case to be replaced by fresh air => that cannot works well. Notice the heatsink is also inside the same section containing hot air, it is quite useless. Opening the top is the only solution for the fan to draw in fresh air, rather than the air it has just expelled, and for the heatsink to hope to get fresh air too. But in fact the active cooler must be used without a case to be fully efficient, or in the pibow which has no top upper the fan nor around the heatsink
I read that the fan is always running full speed at the moment if you use Ubuntu. Only on RaspionOS it can run slower at the moment.
I wonder that your screen has a blue line on the left if you turn it on. I never saw something like that if i use digital video signals like DVI or HDMI. Looks strangely like with an old analog VGA signal.
If you have time, maybe test if it make sense to replace the cooler. So far i used my pi 4 many times full cpu load, but no heat sink at all and just a small fan with 3.3V only. Of course that is not the "best" way to reduce the temperature of the CPU, but also cools the other components at the same time and it is still far away from the highest allowed CPU temperature. So i think i will use that cooling variant also on the Pi 5, if it is still maybe 10°C below the max allowed temperature under full CPU load. Maybe you can test it already, since i didn't got a pi so far :-(
Yes, with RPi OS the fan is temperature controlled.
I think they say that without overclocking, you can use just the small heat sink and small fan in the case.
The blue noise on the screen is probably caused by the strange resolution of my Lenovo Yoga Tab 13 with HDMI input. I also tested with a Radxa Rock 5A and that displays without distortion. The resolution is 2160*1350 (instead of 1920*1080).
ah... ok. Sounds logical. I am a guy that don't like/use overclocking. I always keep it default. In fact if have enough time to use other settings, then i prefer in fact undervolting, but not overclocking.
@@LivingLinux yes, I am sure someone will release an app for Ubuntu to take control of it. The big difference between the Pi 4 and 5, with respect to cooling, is a fan header. I don't believe the Pi 4 has one. Not only did they add a fan header with the Pi 5 but it is PWM so it can be modulated to slow it down. It's really just a matter of software to get that PWM control function working on other Pi OSes.
Others have pointed this out. The heatsink's fins orientation on the active cooler doesn't seem right.
What do you think?
The fan is enclosed, so that would mean I have to screw it out of the enclosure. I think there is enough room, to put the fan on top of the heat sink. Now I think it is blowing air sideways.
sideways blow is correct!! @@LivingLinux
@@LivingLinux Blowing sideways is correct and what it should be doing per the active cooler's design. The concern is the orientation of its fins in relation to the air coming from the fan.
Thanks
Do you know if the Raspberry Pi 5 (overlocked CPU 3GHZ/ GPU 1GHZ) can run RUclips at full HD playback smooth as well as Twitch full HD playback? I might want to buy one but I'm afraid the Pi 5 is not capable of video playback/streams.
Why would really want a Pi 5? I never use Twitch, but there is no guarantee that either RUclips or Twitch will keep using the same codecs for 1080p streams. Sounds to me that you are better off with a RK3588 device or even x86 SBC.
@@LivingLinux Thank you. I want to use it as a small and affordable desktop replacement for mainly browsing the web and watching RUclips/Livestreams. I think a x86 is the best but it's quite pricey. The 680Edge looks promising.
Looks like cheaper options are coming: radxa.com/products/x/x2l/
@@LivingLinux Looking good, shame it only outputs 4k@ 30 Hz, I would say 60Hz should be minimum right?
Good video unboxing and assembling your P5. Yes, the fan is loud in the video and very annoying sound. I would be interested in some benchmark and application videos with this unit. Thank you for content
My first impression is that Ubuntu has a problem with WebGL. Usually I test WebGL Aquarium, but it's really slow. Things are better with RPi OS, but I'm still a bit underwhelmed. Perhaps I need to play around with some settings.
@@LivingLinux Perhaps playing with a board with much better SoC like RK3588 for sometimes makes you feel a bit underwhelming because RPi5 is late and a bit behind the competitors?
@@edrd6257 Yes, as the Pi 5 is quite close to the Orange Pi 5 in price, I am a bit disappointed. And even more if it is really true that they spent $25 million in 7 years to design the Pi 5. It's not bad, but it feels as if they lost their focus on the affordable (price/performance) part. www.raspberrypi.com/news/rp1-the-silicon-controlling-raspberry-pi-5-i-o-designed-here-at-raspberry-pi/
@@LivingLinux I completely understand your disappointment. As for the development cost, yes, that's what i heard too. The 25M is the grand total. I guess they can also recoup the investment from ways other than just the Raspberry Pi 5 sales since the RP1 (or maybe some parts of it) can be used in other product. Perhaps that's why they focus for the 4GB/8GB variants first because of the higher margin. in the end, like you said, they lost focus on the affordability part.
@@LivingLinux Speaking of RPi5 underwhelming performance, what is the score for Orange Pi 5 running WebGL Aquarium? Just curious.
Do I need an external fan or the fan that comes with the case enough.
The fan in the case should be enough. Unless you want to overclock, or push the CPU to 100% for a long time.
If u put Raspberry pi 5 Active cooler & pit it in Raspberry official case , it will cook your Raspberry Pi 5 because of poor design, so think 100 times before buying official case for ur pi 5
Hey, is RASP ACTIVE COOL Raspberry Pi fan for Raspberry Pi 5 compatible with Rock 5 Model B?
Hey ist RASP ACTIVE COOL Raspberry Pi - Lüfter für Raspberry Pi 5 kompatibel für Rock 5 Model B ?
No, the Pi 5 has a 4 pin connector for the fan and the Rock 5B has a 2 pin connector.
@@LivingLinux ok danke you
I want to get it from a store. We have already 4Gb version in stock, but for 8Gb version we need to wait a couple weeks.
Any reason you also want the 8GB version?
@@LivingLinux All my apps are Java. Java is a memory hog . Having just 4Gb is always a risk that OS will start swapping.
Do you need to connect the four screws on the bottom?
I'm not sure what you mean. You don't need to do anything with screws.
@@LivingLinuxThere are four mount screws on the Pi 5 and the case that line up. How could you not know what i mean?
@@RetroGamer_George Did you get screws with your case? You don't get screws with the official plastic Pi 5 case. It's a click system, you don't need screws, unless you have a custom case.
@@LivingLinuxNo Screws with the case but its stupid to have provisions for it... There are 4 holes on the bottom of the case that line up with the Pi 5, My question is why have that on the case if its not meant to be used. It left me thinkng am i suppose to screw it in as well?
That was rather fiddly. I'm glad they there is that small area in the lid to allow air to escape.
Well, now that I know how to do it, I can do it much quicker. But I still have the feeling the active cooler could have been designed better.
Be very careful using GPIO attachments if you do not screw the Pi Board to the case. I plugged a screen on to the GPIO header, when trying to remove it, it pulled the board out of the case and pulled the SD card slot off the board.........not great!
This happened with the official plastic case?
Yes, the same as you have in the video, but the black version.
Thanks for the video.
It's amazing if you give more sound in your voice.
I have one point and it's good if you give my answer.
I want to buy Raspberry device.
So can you please tell me which version should I buy?
Thanks in advance. keep it.👏
I'll try to talk louder next time.
What do you want to do with the Raspberry Pi?
Do you plan on buying the Pi 5? Because if you order now, don't be surprised it will take a couple of weeks.
@@LivingLinux I want to plan for buy raspberry.
I still thinking I do not order.
I dont know which kind of raspberry Pi should I buy?
@@curious_for_music4587 What do you want to do with it? Anything specific, or just as a cheap desktop computer?
I want to make Android box from raspberry Pi latest version.
Is it possible to do?
@@curious_for_music4587 I guess we have to wait for Konstakang to release an image for the Pi 5. konstakang.com/tag/LineageOS/
Dumb question, no need of heat sink with active cooler right
You mean the little one that came with the case? Not much room left with the active cooler.
If you get a Pi 5 you will need a micro HDMI to HDMI cable.
some shaky hands you got there
It must have been the excitement. 😉
Please test more ps2 games
I'm testing AetherSX2. Doesn't seem to work with RPi OS currently (segmentation fault). It works with Ubuntu, but AetherSX2 warns one Vulkan instruction is missing. Final Fantasy X does run, but it's strange that I see the same performance issue as earlier with my Samsung Flip 3 (Snapdragon 888), but that was fixed later on. But I'll try other versions of AetherSX2. ruclips.net/video/AJgjvEGtwYo/видео.html
@@LivingLinux do a video testing ps2 games plssss
@@LivingLinux for next video test pls Emulation
I'm working on it. I want to do some more testing. But it will be my next video.
@@LivingLinux thank youuu
