Hi,
Will the PI 5 Official Active Cooler fit in PI 5 Official Case if Case Fan removed.?
Many Thanks…
As I understand it, the active cooler and official case are not compatible (although we’ve not had any of the cases through yet to check!)
The active cooler will definitely work with our new Pibow case though 😎
This was asked and answered on the Pi Forms with a link to this.
Look’s like it will work.

I’ll likely still go with a Pibow, if a Red one happens. ;)
Ooh, thanks for the link - that’s good to know!
Many Thanks
Will add one to my order…
Thanks…
Wanting something with a bit more cover
I’ve added the Pibow difussers to my Pibow cases as covers.

I use the extended bolt pack

I put spacers in so its raised up and lets the air in and out. The nuts that come with the Pibow cases will work, if you have some extras.
