It Stays hot after hours and hours even whet i shutdown the rpi5.
Oh no. If the Pi has been shutdown, where is the heat coming from? I wonder if the PMIC is giving off heat even when the Pi is off.
That does sound odd, not the expected behaviour. Things do retain heat even when not powered, like a kettle after it has boiled, but I can't see a PMIC putting out enough heat to continually maintain a heatsink at a too hot to touch temperature.

Something defective with the Active Cooler, its fan or connection could potentially keep it hot as suggested, could be hammering the PMIC. Without circuit diagrams we don't know how it's all wired on-board.

I'm not sure it's a systemic issue. If it were I would have thought others would have noticed, reported it. I don't have a Pi 5 so I can't test.
