Anyone recalls my raspberry's hotfix for overheating problem?

Frankly I am considering it as a long-term solution. I currently have a proper rpi fan applied but it's just too freaking noisy! I thought my work lappy is noisy when at 90C. But this tiny rpi fan is just.. Painfully loud! Especially when rpi is suppised to be tiny and invisible.

Soo.. Yeah.. 3"" fan for an rpi it is!

    I just plugged in a USB fan. Looks ghetto AF, but it does its job pretty well and quietly.

    Raspberry Pis are designed to be fan free. I would try and add a heatsink if it's really overheating

    i have a heatsink and a noctura fan on my Pi (they do the tiny ones that fit on the cases you can get on amazon). The fan is silent, powered full speed on 5V from GPIO, and the Pi never goes above 60 on full load (it is a 3B overclocked to 1.3GHz)

    @dmoa try hooking a 4k display on a rpi4 and open up some cpu-intensive graphs and leave them 24/7. It starts thermal throttling after 2 minutes. I think we are way past the heatsinks as a solution :)

    @netikras Noctua NF-A4x10 5V - 3-Pin Premium Quiet Fan (40mm, Brown) https://amazon.co.uk/dp/B00NEMGCIA/...

    then it is hooked up to one of these: the fan this came with died after a week hence why I got the noctura one.
