I did not click the link (“people also bought these…”) at the time of the checkout, and there is no fan in allnet accessories. i think there will be none judging by their statement. The layout of the holes might have changed, you need to wait for the release of the mechanical drawings.

Yes exactly Ive tried to find Rock 5 accessories all I find is Rock Pi 4 rock s etc… Better wait for more accessories
We haven’t gotten to lay our hands on a ROCK5 yet, but we were told this fan should work: https://ameridroid.com/products/cooling-fan

I will order it soon. Just let me do some math on friday cause I have a few more things to order. Thanks.
I think im gonna wait for something oficial cause… paying 19$ for delivery… since I have already ordered the rock5… is a bit overkill if it doesnt fit in the end
This indeed is a VERY nice one to be honest. If a company would create such a case for the 5B, that would be awesome.
The rock5b fan header is xh1.25mm, same as 4C+.
From your picture, the heatsink wire is 2.0mm header, it can not plug directly.
No, the Rock 5 PCB is quite a bit larger than Pi 4B.

I dont know if this one will fit but looks nice too.
Yay Ameridroid has finally a group page of accessories for Rock 5B
This is what we need for our Rock 5B’s

So I just purchased and received my Rock5B, can anyone confirm if there is a standard the heatsink mounting conforms to? Regardless of it being “okay” to run without, I’m seeing 80 degree C temps in an environment with 20 degree C ambient.
Would also really help to either sell a compatible charger with a UK plug option, or link to a recommended one.
Thats ameridroid collection for the rock 5b I hope they add more stuff.
It’s a 55mm mounting hole that lots of PCH coolers also uses. Just look at the official cooler and find a one with same shape and 55mm mounting hole and you will be fine.
I’m trying to add Rock5 to SBC_Model_Framework to ease the process of making a customizable case for Rock5B, and now we have a prototype from the mechanical drawings, and I would like to ask someone who has a 3D printer to do a verification print see if the measurement is correct. I also ordered 3D print from my local store but it may take some time to arrive. Once the verification (and the measurement fixes after the verification) is corrected I will create a pull request to add Rock5 to SBC_Model_Framework.

Please remove the Pi in the name of Radxa SBC for the 3D file name, the correct name should be:
- ROCK 3A
- ROCK 4C+
- ROCK 5B

That’s a very good news. I always prefer a passive cooling route. Any pictures of the sample/prototype?
Thank you for your design.
I had printed the bottom part with my ender 5.
print setting:
0.4 nozzle
0.2 layer height
PLA material
I will print the cover part for test tmr.
I found that there are a few points could be improved.
- sd card
SD card port is not fit. It is better to raise the port up around 0.8 - 1.5 mm and bring it near to the mini hdmi around 2 -3 mm.
- 3.5mm port
The 3.5 mm port make the pcb a little bit tilted. The port could be made larger 0.2 mm.
- The bottom plate
It is better to add some hole or make it honeyhomb for reducing heat of ssd.
- The height between pcb placed and the bottom plate (optional)
There are around 2 - 3 mm spare height. It could be reduced.
8.5 - 9mm from pcb placed to the bottom plate.
only 5.5 - 6 mm from pcb to the m.2 nvme ssd.
