Argon NEO 5 Aluminum Alloy Case for Raspberry Pi 5 with PWM Cooling Fan, Standard/M.2 Options

Overview

The Argon NEO 5 is an aluminum alloy case customized for Raspberry Pi 5, featuring a built-in PWM cooling fan and side ventilation to help speed up heat dissipation. The top cover uses aluminum alloy for heat conduction, while the bottom cover/base is plastic (ABS injection material). All cutouts are aligned to Raspberry Pi 5 interfaces for protected installation without blocking external connections.

Key Features

• Two versions available: Standard version and M.2 version (top covers are the same; bottom covers differ).
• Built-in PWM speed adjustable cooling fan with multiple ventilation holes; top cover is removable/sliding design.
• Fan wiring (line sequence): Red (+), Black (-), Blue (PWM), Yellow (FG).
• PWM fan size: 30*30*8mm. (Comparison shown: normal fan 30*30*7mm.)
• 4-PIN JST interface (stated to help prevent reverse connection).
• Material construction: black aluminum alloy top cover + ABS injection bottom cover; designed for heat conduction.
• Integrated power button; equipped with 4 anti-slip pads (manual installation noted).
• Interface access reserved: DSI/CSI interface, UART connector, PCIe interface, RTC power interface, 40Pin GPIO interface, Type-C power interface, microHDMI interface, USB 2.0, USB 3.0, Ethernet interface.
• Designed specifically for Raspberry Pi 5: cases are not universal for Raspberry Pi 4B/3B+ due to different interfaces.
• Standard version: SD card supported, with a hidden SD card slot cover on the base to help protect the SD card.
• M.2 version: supports installation of an M.2 solid state drive and connects via the Raspberry Pi 5 PCIe slot (only for Argon NEO 5 M.2 version). Stated support: SSD with M.2 Key B and M.2 Key B+M SATA interface; M.2 SATA SSD are noted as not supported.
• Bottom silk screen design for quickly identifying Raspberry Pi 5 interface definitions.

Details

Choose between the Standard case or the taller M.2 versionboth keep Raspberry Pi 5 ports accessible while improving cooling.

The two versions share the same aluminum top cover, while the bottom cover changes to support SD card or M.2 storage.

A built-in PWM fan and side ventilation help move heat away from the Raspberry Pi 5 during sustained workloads.

The aluminum alloy top cover is designed for heat conduction, paired with an ABS base for a secure fit.

Bottom silkscreen labels make it easier to identify Raspberry Pi 5 interfaces during setup and wiring.

Precise cutouts keep key connections reachable, including GPIO, USB, Ethernet, microHDMI, and TypeC power.

The M.2 version adds space for an SSD connected through the Raspberry Pi 5 PCIe interface.

An integrated power button and four anti-slip pads help keep the enclosure stable on a desk or bench.

A slide-off top and layered design make assembly straightforward, with included thermal material for the CPU contact area.

Each version includes the case parts, cooling fan layer, thermal pad/sticker, screws, and accessories for installation.
