Thank you so much! CanaKit does a fantastic job with their kits. I've used/reviewed many of their products over the years, they have excellent products and equally impressive support.
Thanks for the review on the CanaKit starter kit. But one question: 74 degrees Celsius is approximately 165.2 degrees Fahrenheit. Are you sure the CanaKit gets that hot?
Those are the readings that the stress tool generated. I placed all the commands used for this test here, if anyone wants to re-create/test: wagnerstechtalk.com/rpi5/#Stress_Test
Mine just came in the mail from Amazon. It didn't come with a fan and it doesn't have the vents shown. It also didn't come with a heat sink. Is that a problem? The QR code in the manual sent me to this video.
Did you perhaps pick up the one with the aluminum case (this one amzn.to/3JGlqyo )? If so, you should be good. I've not personally reviewed that model but it uses passive cooling rather than active (fan) cooling.
I'm not sure what the point of the holes at the bottom of the case is. In order for the air to exhaust through them it would have to flow around the Pi5 board and to the backside to get out. Is it basically cooling by creating a positive pressure environment, or is it more likely exhausting around that top edge? I'm thinking about getting one of these to go onto the back of a monitor and I can't help but think that it would cool better with some holes drilled in the sides instead of the bottom.
Might want to check with CanaKit directly on their recommendations. Agree, airflow on the back of a monitor may be obstructed and may increase the amount of heat from the display itself.
Greetings. I'm waiting for this same kit to be shipped from Canakit; I ordered it about a week ago. I'm excited about getting it. I have built many PCs over the past 20 years. This will be a different animal, and surely a lot smaller. I am looking forward to learning some programming and just messing around. I've programmed SPSS+ MS-DOS version back in the 1980s and 1990s, and learned the bare essentials of Fortan back in 1969 (with very little success, using punch cards on a Control Data mainframe). I just fouind this video, and will link up to the Rasp Pi 5 guide as well. Thanks so much for doing this. I just subscribed to your channel and look forward to viewing some of your other videos. I've read about RP for some years now, and decided to take the plunge, especially with Pi 5 freshly released. Thanks again.
Thank you so much for your kind support! One of the applications you may want to download is Visual Studio Code, it's a great code editor for a number of different languages. I use it frequently. In the Pi 5 Getting Started video (came out just prior to this one), I briefly touch on how to install it but not about it's usage. That's awesome that you got started with Fortran and punch cards. I missed out on the punch card era (don't think I missed much from what I hear). My first exposure to computers was using a TI-99/4A, then later on an AS/400 using RPG III, professionally (early 90's). I did some Fortran programming in college, but briefly. Those were exciting times for the both of us! I hope future videos are just as exciting to you. I do want to mention, the next 3-4 videos coming from me likely won't be Pi 5-related (You'll see some virtual pinball content during that time.) However, don't worry more PI 5 content is coming.
Interesting that it would not connect to my Verizon Home 5G internet. My password is not incorrect because I'm still using the one on the bottom of the router they sent me and have used it to connect multiple devices to on my home network which is how I'm streaming your video, in fact. Seems like a network driver/protocol error. Unfortunate.
I had an issue similar to that with a Pi 3B+, but not using by ISPs WiFi router but my own. I wound up resolving it by doing two things: 1) I separated by WiFi 2.4/5Ghz bands into two separate SSIDs. 2) Removed special characters in the WiFi password for the 2.4Ghz band. One or both of the above may help, if a direct Ethernet connection is possible that will also work immediately.
While not a thorough test, you can use your Active Cooler with the CanaKit case. In this video, created for you exclusively, you'll see that you can use the Active Cooler with the CanaKit case: ruclips.net/video/k_-ZGvEAhG0/видео.html (I was also curious). Once you see this video, please comment below that you saw it so that I can delete it.
@@WagnersTechTalkI wish this now deleted video was part of the main video above, as I’m also curious. Regardless thank you for the very thorough videos. Excellent resources for a pi newbie.
@@johnnyc.31 Thank you Johnny for your kind comments. I deleted it as it wasn't a thorough test, but simply installing the active cooler into the CanaKit case which the OP wanted to know. The CanaKit already includes a comparable heatsink and fan (actually, the CanaKit fan is quieter than the active cooler fan). However, I may do a more "official" follow-up video at a later time, if there is demand for it. The active cooler will definitely fit/work with the CanaKit case, but you'll have to remove the CanaKit heatsink, of course.
I loved my Rpi 4, but ultimately sold it. Updates fail in the dumbest ways. Give me something like an .exe or .apk, not some janky process that will fail if one file has trouble downloading.
I hear what you're saying, for me that's been a very uncommon issue that is typically related to not updating the Pi or unstable internet connections. However, there are multiple Android distributions for the Pi as well (for the Pi 4, Pi 5 versions are coming). Even have Win11 on the Pi 4, though not the ideal experience. With the more powerful CPU+GPU on the Pi5, should be some interesting options in the future. Thank you for watching!
Great tutorial! I paid $180 for this kit off Amazon.
Thank you, hope you're enjoying it!
On amazon now is 160 dollars
@@YourLocalBaconYLB that was the 3 months ago price. Looking at pi 3 and pi 4, it looks like the kit trend towards $100
@@TheNextext I have it on amazon and it says that is 160 dollars with no shipping fee what u talking abt
@@YourLocalBaconYLB it was $170 + $10 of tax 3 months ago when I bought it.
Thanks. I was researching how much is covered by the passive heatsink, and your video showed it at 4:25.
Great video! Setup went exactly as demonstrated. Thanks for the immense help.
You're very welcome, happy it was helpful to you!
Thanks for this very good presentation! With years (and experience), Canakit is now my sole seller for RPi...
Thank you so much! CanaKit does a fantastic job with their kits. I've used/reviewed many of their products over the years, they have excellent products and equally impressive support.
I’m excited to learn more about it.
Thank you for the helpful tutorial! Got this kit to set up a kitchen media computer and both the tutorial and the kit were just what I needed.
Awesome project idea!! You're very welcome, thank you for watching!
This video is fantastic. good work.
Thank you very much!
Thanks for the review! Im gonna go with the 256gb white version personally.
Very welcome, thank you for watching!
Thanks brother. Video much appreciated!
No problem 👍
Great video. Thanks for sharing.
Very welcome, thank you for watching!
all plastic and just heatsink and fan with that price? Then argon neo 5 is much better option for sure.
Thank you for your feedback. You might also like this option: ruclips.net/video/Rx9UNRfzjI4/видео.html
no wifis found at startup. Connected Cat5 cable and after software update, the wifi showed up.
If no WiFi SSIDs showed up initially, it's likely the location wasn't set properly. That is needed for them to show up.

Yes, that's it.
Hey my Pi5 is running at 78.5 degrees.. I misaligned the heatsink. Is this too hot? Or should i be fine?
Check with CanaKit on that one, I don't want to tell you wrong. Here's their contact info: www.canakit.com/Contact
Can you overclock with this set up? Mine arrives Thursday.
Yes
@@WagnersTechTalk do a video test of overclocking with the canakit pi 5 with the cpu overclocked to 3 Ghz and the Gpu overclocked to 1 ghz.
This kit is how it should be supplied but the price is almost a pc nuc price now!
It's not a turbine. Not even close.
That is how they named the product: "CanaKit Raspberry Pi 5 Starter Kit - Turbine Black"
I'm not sure what the point of the holes at the bottom of the case is. In order for the air to exhaust through them it would have to flow around the Pi5 board and to the backside to get out.

These are sold out on Amazon
They will sell out from time-to-time. I've seen them locally at my Best Buy, that's another place you can check as well if you have one in your area.
I gonna save $2600 TTD for a screen and this kit

@WagnersTechTalk I'll check these out, thanks!
This only issue I have is that the case falls apart. I have it mounted and the pi-hole machine. BUT it is super quit, stays cool, and works perfectly
Thank you for your feedback, the case snaps together easily which could be a pro/con . Hope you're happy with it overall!
@@WagnersTechTalk I am 100%..
I thought the fan was broken
Is it a metal case or plastic??
The case is plastic.
Excellent tutorial!

With ease no but it does stream 4k safely (from my knowledge anyway)
