Great board, runs hot
Performance is excellent but you definitely need an active cooler. Otherwise very happy with the purchase.

Best Pi yet
The dual 4K output works flawlessly. Great for a desktop replacement scenario with multiple monitors.
Q: Can I use Pi 4 cases?
A: Most Pi 4 cases are not compatible due to component placement changes on the board.
Q: Does this come with a power supply?
A: No, you need a 5V/5A USB-C power supply specifically designed for the Pi 5.
Q: Does it support NVMe SSDs?
A: Yes, via the PCIe 2.0 interface with an appropriate HAT or adapter.
Q: Is Windows 11 supported?
A: Windows 11 on ARM is not officially supported, stick to Linux distributions for best stability.
Q: Is active cooling required?
A: It is highly recommended for sustained workloads to prevent thermal throttling.
