HTC Vive Pro Wireless Fan Mount

You can purchase the fan I used here: https://amzn.to/2CuSAPj - Although, I did shorten the wires and solder them together to minimize clutter on my head. I sought a solution that was compact and easy to detach. Most other alternatives involved attaching something directly to the entire headset, but considering the light weight of the fan, I decided to utilize the USB port instead, as it's a standard A port after all. This setup could potentially work even without the Pro model, simply by plugging the fan into the USB outlet on the headset. Note: I also reversed the fan grill. Given the gap between the fan and the unit, it made more sense to blow air onto it rather than pulling it inwards, so I placed the grill on the back to prevent accidental finger injuries. Results? After an hour of use, I previously reached temperatures of 80-90C with frequent gray screens and disconnections. Now, with the fan set to low, I achieve a temperature of about 60C, which completely eliminates the issues, and the noise is inaudible even when wearing the ear cups down, provided the game has no audio. Switching to high will drop the temperature to 40C, but the noise becomes audible through the headset.
