Heat Sink Mod?!?

[canonBoy]

Just got the Daydream headset and love it. This coming from the original Note 4 Gear VR and now the Note 7/S7e Dark Gear VR headset. Each have their pros and cons... but the thing that I would buy in a heart beat is a heat sink mod to keep the battery and CPU temps down on this thing while enjoying some VR.

Just think, snap to the back of the phone and it has a stylish futuristic low profile staggered pin arrangement with a small fan for forced convection. Keep it quiet and battery effecient (even let it run on the phone battery only would be fine). Having it ramp the fan speed based on temp would be sweet too... trying to maintain a 95° Max temp or something.

Even better would be a watercooled mod with a brass radiator for extra bling!.

Heck, even just a nicely designed aluminum heatsink without a fan might be helpful. Have some kind of durable thermal pad to contact the phone's back & help transfer the heat.

I had this mod in my mind too

Any battery pack works as a somewhat decent heat sink. Obviously not as good as the real thing. But it helps a little.
