I used a 12v fan and a mosfet to control the fan it comes on at 65 and turns off at 55. if you want i will send you my freecad rpi4 case design.

picture please! - and thanks for making your design available for downloading.

It is simple. Take an alumium case with a pilar connection to the processor. Then the whole case is acting as as cooling plate.

There is the Flirc case or the Argon40. Both have a plastic lid so that Wifi is still possible.
