12. Official Cooling Kit
Comes with Raspberry Pi's original 5.1V5A power supply, official active cooling module, and a five-layer acrylic case. Suitable for users who prioritize original factory stable specifications.
III. Core Highlights
1. Dedicated Stable Power Supply
All kits include a dedicated Pi 5 5.1V 5A PD power supply, enabling full 1.6A USB output; a common 5V3A power supply limits peripheral current to 600mA, which can lead to frequency throttling and disconnections.
2. Multi-stage Cooling Solutions Available
From pure copper passive cooling and fan-equipped cases to high-power active cooling, tested full-load temperatures can be as low as 56℃, eliminating high-temperature throttling and stuttering.
3. Pre-loaded with Complete Development Environment, Eliminating Tedious Configuration
TF cards/SSDs are pre-flashed with scene-specific images at the factory, and abundant development tutorials are included:
• 37 lessons for Pi 5 basic入門
• 33 advanced OpenCV AI vision tutorials (complete YOLO26 environment)
• 79 ROS robot development tutorials (ROS1+ROS2 dual versions)
• Complete documentation for OpenClaw edge computing deployment
• Multiple open-source large model offline execution examples
4. Highly Flexible DIY Expansion
Native PCIe slot supports M.2 SSD expansion; 40-Pin GPIO allows connection of sensors, servos; dual camera interfaces enable multi-camera vision projects; the "Ocean View" case integrates lighting effects and hardware monitoring screen, combining aesthetics with practicality.
5. Multi-functional for Diverse Scenarios
Can be used as: a micro home computer, NAS network storage, AI edge computing host, robot control core, media player, soft router, industrial automation controller.
IV. How to Use
1. Memory Card Installation: Insert the pre-flashed system TF card into the on-board TF slot.
2. Hardware Assembly: Install the case, heatsink, camera/expansion board, and screen according to the kit accessories.
3. Power On: Connect the dedicated Type-C power supply, HDMI to the screen, Ethernet cable, mouse, and keyboard.
4. System Initialization: First boot guides you through setting language, time zone, and password. Corresponding development tools are pre-installed.
5. Development Use: Refer to the included tutorial documents to directly run AI models, image recognition, and robot control programs.
V. Real User Reviews
1. "The 8GB memory runs Qwen offline large models very smoothly. The pre-flashed system saves two or three days of environment setup time, making it super friendly for beginners."
2. "The 'Ocean View' case has incredible aesthetics, with RGB lighting and OLED temperature monitoring. On the desk as a mini host, it's just as good as a gaming case."
3. "The 'Cool Pi' heatsink keeps the temperature around 60 degrees during long periods of YOLO image recognition, unlike the bare board which gets hot and stutters."
4. "The OpenClaw kit with servos can create an automatic robotic claw. With remote commands via Feishu on a mobile phone, students can get all the hardware for their projects in one go."
5. "The M.2 SSD version boots and loads models three times faster than a TF card. When used as a NAS for video storage, there's absolutely no read/write delay."
VI. Important Notes
1. Raspberry Pi 5 generates significant heat natively. Do not run the bare board for extended periods. At least use a case with a fan. For AI/overclocking, an active cooling kit is a must.
2. The power supply must be the dedicated 5.1V5A PD power supply included in this kit. A standard 5V3A phone PD charger will limit USB current, causing peripherals to malfunction and system frequency to throttle.
3. The 1GB memory version is only suitable for ultra-lightweight learning and cannot run any AI large models or image deep learning programs. For such development, 4GB or higher versions are recommended.
4. The M.2 SSD expansion board only supports the Pi 5 PCIe slot. Older Pi 4 models are not compatible. The SSD image is pre-flashed; if you need a custom system, back up your data before re-flashing.
5. When installing the MIPI camera, ensure the ribbon cable's metal contacts face the motherboard slot. Do not insert it in reverse to avoid damaging the video interface. Please remove the protective film from the camera lens before use.
6. ROS, YOLO, and large model development have high memory requirements. For multitasking, 8GB/16GB versions are recommended to prevent program crashes due to insufficient memory.
7. The acrylic panels of the "Ocean View" case are fragile; handle them gently during assembly and disassembly. The magnetic dust filters can be regularly removed and cleaned to maintain cooling efficiency.
