Can I install a fan on top of this case with a heat sink? I have Rpi 3B+
Hi Chirag,
Welcome!
I dont have the kits infront of me so the Core guys would have to confirm that everything fits but here’s my recommendation:
I imagine one of the smaller heatsink kits would definitely work such as these two:

As for a fan take a look at the Fan Shim and the FAN HAT.
And you’ll most likely need a header for additional clearance:
Hi Chirag,
Since you’ve got a Pi 3B+, you don’t need a ton of cooling unless you’re doing heavy work on the Pi all the time, I’d suggest just a small heatsink should do the trick:
If you did want a fan, as Liam said you’d likely need to space it out a bit with the stacking headers.
Did you have a particular product in mind you wanted us to test the fit of?

As said, I probably go for heatsinks as I am only running minimal services.
