Announced at the end of September 2023, the Raspberry Pi 5 stood out for coming with its own processor and has faced problems with heat dissipation. Now, a microcomputer unit has been customized to prevent any overheating.
The customization was carried out by manufacturer Ivan Kuleshov, who created a version aimed at maximum possible cooling, with the ability to reach temperatures below 0°C. To do this, he inserted a Peltier element and several heatpipes which direct heat to a copper heatsink. Check out the “work” in the publication below:
In practice, the Peltier element and the thermoelectric cooler used by the professional connect the hottest side of the object to the heat sink, while the cold part is next to the chipset.
The passive cooling process still uses three copper tubes held by a custom 3D printed element, which draw heat down to a copper heatsink.
The procedure – called Delidding or DEAL – it is considered risky for people without technical knowledge of the procedure to try to risk it. This is because, if there is a wrong movement, it could render the entire equipment useless.
Furthermore, Kuleshov’s action ended up exposing the internal components of the Raspberry Pi 5. More specifically, the BCM2712 platform, accompanied by the 64-bit Arm Cortex-A76 CPU at 2.4 GHz and the VideoCore VII GPU at 800 MHz.
Although the technique is capable of reaching negative temperatures, Kuleshov has not yet completed his tests to provide precisely how many degrees the microcomputer can be cooled using this system.
