@nytryder26 the issue is going to be that even if you install a fan, your airflow is just not there. You might even create more heat with it. You will have to modify the case to allow the air to pass through. If you are serious about making this work, I'd take the case to an automotive body shop (or sheet metal fabricators) and see if they can "punch" a couple of louvres in there. Then install the fan in a way that it pulls the air through instead of trying to blow on the circuit boards.

You know the fan in the ps5, it has the same fan but it's blowing hot air at hot air bc Microsoft did not put a vent by the fan in this model. Who can I get to punch some holes in the plastic case?
@nytryder26 any good fabricator can do that for you. Again I rely on body shops a lot for this type of mod. Even with plastics since they now deal with that now too.
@oldturkey03 Ok, thanks for the response.
@oldturkey03 Do you know any that I can search for?
@nytryder26 what's your next bigger city ;-)

Won't that kick me off of live?
@nytryder26 its only a speed regulator
@tech_ni I already opened and cleaned it, It gets so hot It doesn't work properly, now if the case is off it works better but I want the case on so how can I fix this?
@nytryder26 did you change the thermal paste ?
@tech_ni No, but I feel the heat on the heat sink so?

I'd go with the Amazon one. Doesn't involve opening the console and set it to auto and forget it. Beware the more cool air going in the more dust getting into the system too.

@nytryder26 did you replace the thermal paste?
@strongbow No, but I feel the heat on the heat sink so?
@nytryder26 I'd replace it, it dries out over time. Helps take the heat away from the cup.
@strongbow I touched it and its still moist
