About this item
The PIMORONI Cooling Fan SHIM is a compact, efficient cooling solution designed specifically for the Raspberry Pi. This clever accessory uses a friction-fit GPIO header, allowing you to easily attach it to your Raspberry Pi without any soldering, making it perfect for beginners and enthusiasts alike. Its ultra-slim profile ensures compatibility with most Pi cases, while providing active cooling that helps maintain optimal performance during heavy tasks or prolonged use. Controlled via software, the fan can be automatically activated based on the CPU temperature, reducing noise and power usage when full cooling isn't needed.Ideal for Raspberry Pi 4 and other models with high thermal output, the Fan SHIM enhances system stability and prolongs hardware life. It also includes RGB LED indicators and a tactile button, allowing for visual feedback and user input capabilities. This makes it more than just a cooling fan – it's a smart accessory for any Pi project.
