they are selling a $5 temp controlled fan assembly to use with it, so you 
probably don't want to run it passivly cooled.

There is a fan power connection on the PRI5  - W8LM comment

Let's make sure everyone knows the RPI5 woul donly be advantageous in LARGE HUBS... not for instance a personal node or hotspot.. But Like LMR400 coax, these unexperienced hams have to that the RPI4 or RPI5 on their ALLSTAR NODE.. Nothing less than "the best" 

Yeh! The best waste of money. RPI2 and 3's work for individual ALLSTAR NODES and have so for 8 years I know of.
