The ICE Tower CPU Cooling Fan is a high-performance cooler designed for the Raspberry Pi 4 and Pi 3. Its tower structure with a 5 mm copper heat pipe, multi-layer aluminium heat sinks, and 7-blade fan can reduce CPU temperatures from 80°C down to 40°C — even under overclocking conditions.
Powered directly from the Raspberry Pi's 5 V GPIO header at just 0.4 W, it features 7 colour-cycling LEDs for a personalised look. Easy to install with no external power supply needed.
Key Features
- ICE Tower Structure – 5 mm copper heat pipe with multi-layer aluminium heat sinks for superior cooling
- 7-Blade Fan – Powerful airflow to keep temperatures low, even when overclocking
- 40°C Under Load – Reduces CPU temperature from 80°C to 40°C in overclocked conditions
- 7-Colour LED Lighting – Auto-cycling RGB LEDs for a personalised aesthetic
- Pi-Powered – Runs from the Raspberry Pi's 5 V GPIO, no external supply needed
- Easy Installation – Simple setup with included mounting hardware

Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- GPIO
- General-purpose input/output pins are microcontroller pins you can set in software to read signals, switch devices on and off, or connect to peripherals. The number of GPIO pins matters because it limits how many buttons, LEDs, sensors, and other parts you can wire directly to the board.
- LED
- A light-emitting diode is a small electronic component that lights up when current flows through it in the correct direction. In this kit, LEDs create the flashing effect, so polarity and correct soldering matter for the project to work.
- RGB
- Short for red, green and blue, usually referring to an LED that can mix those three colours. It matters because controlling an RGB LED teaches how separate outputs combine to create different colours.
- thermal throttling
- Thermal throttling is when a processor automatically slows down because it is getting too hot. A case designed to reduce throttling can help a small computer maintain performance during heavier tasks.
