First the hardware can survive at over 90 degrees without any issues and it can save itself if it gets dangerous, second I don’t think you’d want better cooling, not like this at least - there are other parts that need to be cooled that don’t have temperature sensors on them, and making the fan run at lower speeds might be a bad idea. However, third, cooling fans positioned like this (which this apparently isnt?) are worthless, cooling off the plastic cover is hard enough for them which doesn’t do much for the hardware itself.
Respecting the designed airflow (which imo is important) I think you’d have better results for your money if you play the Deck in front of a fan lol, that way lower temp air will be pushed on the intakes and you’d be kept cool as well.

Thanks for the input. What do you think of something like this?
