Raspberry Pi4 continuous selfhosted server operations
!Selfhosted 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.

But I hate high numbers, excessive heat already shortened a Pi lifetime here, since then I am very cautious about that.

But 0 C is commonly defined as the point at which water turns from solid to liquid and the other way round. Scientifically it's ever so slightly off but still it's defined via Kelvin.

in reply to Ⓜ3️⃣3️⃣ 🌌 • • •That is one beefy fan for a rpi.
I've just got a case similar to this; but all snap together, no screws:
The fan runs off the pin headers. Meant for 5v, but I use the 3.3v line to run it a little quieter/slower.
Even that makes a good 10°c difference.

in reply to Ⓜ3️⃣3️⃣ 🌌 • • •I've got the same Geekworm cases for all my Raspberries. Added some extra thermal pads in some strategic places and have them all without any active cooling at room temperature (20-21℃). They barely go over 55℃:
The 3B+ has soft-throttling (can be disabled) starting at 60℃, full throttling at 70°C. The 4 starts throttling at 80℃ and the 5 at 85℃. So, with that completely passive cooling I'm still far away from these margins. No need for any moving parts that will make noise at some point in the future.
Also, since the cases have ribs on both sides, I have my Pis standing upright to hopefully make use of the stack effect - which might contribute to the slightly lower than OP's values.

Some might state that the CPU is probably gonna live longer, but seriously have you ever had a CPU die on you cause it was old (or even die at all, even)? Again, it's fine.
Having something that mostly agitates the air (not even really moving it) like a low-hundreds-rpm fan would also work. As would using one of those passive heat pipe coolers that are also overkill (especially with a fan, but just leave that off), but have the same "number looks better" effect.
