Starting with thermal imaging eye-candy.
That's a relative test, but it seems changing the fan might do the trick. I need to figure out proper mounting to conduct a prolonged test, but so far the pico seems to feel better with some fresh air. To check it, I was testing which part of the inside was the hottest. Previously it was the pico, now it's the heatsink of the stressed component.
Temperature before: 84° on the pico and 68
° on the GPU (no case mesh lid).
After (100mm CPU fan, thanks
@BaK for the idea); 15m of Furmark, pico seems to be always cooler than the GPU heatsink/backplate:
Actual temperature a bit higher than pictured because of the mesh, but the pico is not the hottest component (less red in infra) and the test doesn't crash after 13 minutes.
