==Overview==
This 12mm 15mm thickness aluminum alloy heatsink (C519) is specially designed for Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5 CM5 Motherboard. Made with high-quality aluminum alloy materials, it provides efficient heat dissipation, keeping your device cool even during intensive use. Increase the lifespan of your Raspberry Pi with this essential accessory. It is an efficient, silent and easy-to-install cooling solution for users seeking stability and flexibility. <span class="tb_red">Update:</span> To make installation easier, '''the width of the C519 was changed from 45mm to 41mm in August 2025''', while other specifications remained unchanged. Currently, there are two versions of the C519 available: the '''C519 V1.0''', which is a '''45mm''' wide cooler, and the '''C519 V1.1''', which is a '''41mm''' wide cooler.[[File:C519-IMG-8756-compare.jpg|700px|none|C519 V1.1 VS C519 V1.0]]

Since both the C519 heatsink and PCB holes are threaded, proper alignment and minimal spacing are crucial during assembly. Carefully align the C519 with the PCB mounting holes, press down firmly until the heatsink touches the PCB, then tighten the screws.
Q1: Question 1Does the C519 heatsink fit all CM5 IO boards, including third-party ones like the Waveshare CM5 POE IO Board/CM5-IO-BASE-A?
</div>
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
A: Place The C519 heatsink fits the answer here[https://www.raspberrypi.com/products/compute-module-5-io-board/ official Raspberry Pi CM5 IO board] without issues. However, compatibility with third-party IO boards may vary. For example, on the Waveshare CM5 POE IO Board, the heatsink may interfere with the POE circuit's square inductor. In such cases, slight modification (e.g., trimming a small notch with a Dremel) might be needed to achieve proper fitment. Also not support Waveshare CM5-IO-BASE-A. Please check the layout of your IO board and C519 size before installation.
