Pironman 5 Pro MAXο
Thanks for choosing our Pironman 5 Pro Max.
Elevate your Raspberry Pi 5 experience with the Pironman 5 Pro Max, our new flagship high-performance aluminum chassis. Designed for ultimate cooling, expansion, and a complete desktop-like experience, itβs perfect for demanding applications like NAS, AI development, media centers, and advanced projects.
Key Features:
Dual NVMe & AI Expansion Hub: Integrated PCIe Gen 2 switch with two M.2 M-key slots (2230/2242/2260/2280) for SSDs or AI accelerators (fully compatible with Hailo-8/8L). Configure for RAID 0/1 NAS, SSD+AI, or dual AI setups.
Comprehensive Cooling System: Massive tower cooler with a PWM fan, plus three addressable RGB PWM fans, maintaining excellent thermal performance even under full load.
Dual Display & Multimedia:
4.3β DSI Touchscreen (800x480): Use as a secondary info display, status dashboard, or even a primary desktop monitor.
0.96β Smart OLED Display: Shows real-time CPU, memory, temperature, disk usage, and IP.
Stereo 3W Speakers & 5MP Camera: Ready for multimedia, video conferencing, or computer vision projects.
Enhanced User Interface & Control:
Customizable RGB Ecosystem: Six WS2812B addressable LEDs and three synchronized RGB fans for dynamic lighting effects.
IR Receiver for media center remote control (e.g., Kodi, Volumio).
Safe Retro-style Metal Power Button for graceful shutdown and boot.
RTC Battery Compartment (for CR1220) for time-keeping.
Professional Connectivity & Layout:
Rear-panel Reorganization: Power input and dual standard HDMI ports are relocated to align with the USB ports for a clean, unified cable management look.
Full Port Access: Dual HDMI, Gigabit LAN, 2x USB 3.0, 2x USB 2.0.
Labeled External GPIO Extender for easy accessory connection.
Premium Industrial Design: Robust dark aluminum alloy chassis with dark acrylic side panels, spring-loaded microSD card slot, and a modern desktop PC-inspired aesthetic.
Note
It is strongly recommended to use the official Raspberry Pi 27W power supply or a compatible high-quality alternative like the SunFounder 27W PD Power Supply for the Pironman 5 Pro Max. Insufficient power may cause instability or reboots of the Raspberry Pi 5, especially under high load with NVMe drives and accessories.
