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

Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- DC
- DC means direct current, where electricity flows in one constant direction, as supplied by batteries, USB ports and many plug-pack power supplies. When a product specifies DC, it runs from a DC supply rather than mains AC, so you need to provide the correct voltage and polarity.
- 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 (LED) is a small electronic component that emits light when current flows through it in the correct direction. Because it only conducts one way, its polarity matters, and a through-hole LED must be soldered the correct way around to light up.
- RGB
- Short for red, green and blue, the three primary colours of light that are mixed in varying amounts to make a wide range of colours. In electronics RGB can refer to an LED or pixel that blends these three colours, or to a colour signal or interface that carries separate red, green and blue channels.
- 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.
