I was thinking about ways to push this beyond the 2.4-2.5Th reported by other users.
One way could be to use a bigger fan and adapter to funnel more air CFMs into the pod.
For example a 120mm or 140 mm fan can push 2-3x air through the heatsinks, while still staying fairly quiet (<25db).
I've seen some s9 space heater designs (skip to page 9) that are replacing the stock 120mm fan with 140mm fan to allow the machine to run quietly without compromising on cooling.

Would like to know from others here, if this makes sense and is worth a try.
