For Raspberry Pi4 continuous selfhosted server operations: with and without case fan. This graph show a 20°C decrease, with a slow rpm fan.
The metal case has thermal stickers to reach for main components on both sides, and the fan is what I have in scrap parts, totally not for that case but pushes a lot of air with low noise compared to screaming mini cpu fans.

    So how did you attach that fan to the case? Looks like an interesting idea seeing that its powered through the USB.

      @ddash The fan is just sitting on top of the case, mostly centered as the turbine opening is slightly smaller than the case itself.

      The duct shoots air horizontally in the general direction of another of a LibreComputer Lepotate. I take that as a bonus.
