Raspberry Pi 5 Announced!

Pricing is at least a bit more sensible (£46.60)

After setting the CPU to 2.8ghz and running stressberry I was wondering why the active coolers fan was not coming on.
It turns out I was a bit heavy handed when pushing the fan connector onto the header, it's a bit of an awkward angle and the far pin was squashed up against the side of the header.
A precision screwdriver helped to push it back into place and now getting 66c temps. Let's see how much more it can go.
[edit] It refused to boot at 3GHz. 2.8 seems fine enough, added an NVMe on the official hat and temps are still good (72c tops).

Would a 2gb pi 5 be better than 4gb pi4b for running kodi, I have a 4tb hdd to hook up to it with lots of family videos and pics….which would be the better bet?
Whatever is cheaper.
I run a PLEX server off a Pi 4 4GB and no issues as long as it's direct stream.

Anyone powering one of these with a power bank?
I did try it - somehow my power bank ended up melting, mostly unrelated.

Mostly?
Been told it needs to be 5a output. Wanted to make a touch screen little box to take to dialysis 4 times a weeks, only needs to power it for 4 hours at a time. Didn’t think it’ll be a problem when I ordered the pi.

I bought myself a Pi5, and one of the Pironman cases, have no use for it at all as it was bought to put Klipper on for my 3d printer, then I ended up buying a Pad7...
Will see what I can do with the Pi once I've built it into the case...

I see the Pi 500 is out.
I never really understood the need for the models with keyboard like this but I guess that's because pretty much all of my Pis are headless and something like this would be really impractical for me.

Raspberry Pi 500
Raspberry Pi 500 is a fast, powerful computer built into a high-quality keyboard, for the ultimate compact PC experience. It features the same quad-core 64-bit Arm processor and RP1 I/O controller found in Raspberry Pi 5, and 8GB RAM! With a one-piece aluminium heatsink built-in for improved...

I think these were more for the education sector - so that it's a self contained "safe" computer (as opposed to a bare PCB) whilst still having access to the GPIO breakout etc.

Also the CM5 which is more impressive imoI see the Pi 500 is out.

Man of Honour
I have to admit I ordered a Pi 500 purely because I've got a spare monitor and thought it would be handy to have something plugged into it.
Booted it up tonight as I'm rebuilding my Desktop PC and I'm quite impressed actually; it may end up staying on my main desk in my secondary monitor so I can use it for "personal" stuff when my work laptop is plugged into my docking station through the week.

I got the cm5 kit and the 15 inch monitor because why not? Lmao
Man of Honour
I was tempted by the monitor.... but I've already got a 14" Verbatim Touchscreen which is handy, couldn't justify 2!
Anyone had an issue with card corruption on the Pi 5? After a few days it becomes corrupt leading to a reformat. If I use my old Pi 4 card in it, it so far hasn't caused an issue, so perhaps a faulty card? However I've ran several rounds of read/write tests on the card and it's never shown any kind of error. Could it still be a faulty card or would it have shown up during the tests?
I've only had my Pi5 from 30th Nov, I bought the Pi 5 Starter kit so it came with an SD card, only run Pihole and nord meshtnet on, but in the time I've had it so far I've not had any issues with corruption, I'd prob pick up another SD card to try in the Pi5 (it is odd that it works in the Pi4 but SD cards cheap enough to get I'd pick one up just to make sure)
Hope it is just the SD and you get it sorted quick enough.

I think microsd is generally unstable, I've had microsd cards on several devices stop working.
I use USB3-SATA adapter for my 64GB SSD.
For the pi imager, the bootloader (choose boot order, usb, nvme microsd, network) does that update the firmware as well?
