      I wanted to overclock my pi and i did.. But it was having over heating issues. So after much thought and work i took a motor out of an electric tooth brush and took a propeller off a drone i have laying around. I took the motor and wired it to a usb to be powered by a usb charger and put the propeller on the motor. I took some old game cases and made a prop out of it. Looks like crap and is loud but im getting temps of 42c when i was getting temps of 80c. If you would like to see it let me know and ill upload a pic.!!!0_1502340810248_0809172246.jpg

          Might also try removing the lid from that case (if it's possible, i've never seen that case before).

            It did the job but was so loud i got tired of it quick and set my clock speeds back to normal. I got the kit from amazon came with controllers and everything.
