Why not use an old laptop at that point? Pi4 isn't fanless anymore, and there is not a good reason to use one when there are better spec SBC, lower price ones, fanless ones, not even sure who the audience for it is.
Edit: can't reply but show the specs to the Pi4 model that you want me to compare, and I didn't know about the new fanless Pi4, but they are still not stronger than many other SBCs that exist, and don't have fast interfaces in comparison to other SBCs, the Pine rockchip SBC comes to mind as one that has great performance for cheaper prices.

- GhettoComputers 5y agoSure you can run them hot, but do you want to? Which Pi4 model are you talking about, at which price?
- zozbot234 5y agoThe Pi 4 has just been re-released with the newer and cooler chip revision from the Pi 400. This should make passive cooling (w/ a heatsink) viable for most workloads. Though the Pi 400 heatsink design still adds a lot of heat capacity which helps performance there.
