The problem here is the plastic on the outside of the camera. Plastic for the most part is an insulator, so a Peltier cooler is not going to draw heat through the plastic.
Honestly that sounds like they either put the ice in a bad place or there's some kind of overly conservative software limitation rather than something actually based on the electronics temperature. Would be really interesting if we could get some kind of thermal imaging of the camera to see how it's behaving when overheating.
That is a cool idea I have thermal cameras at work, when I get my unit I will give this a try.Honestly that sounds like they either put the ice in a bad place or there's some kind of overly conservative software limitation rather than something actually based on the electronics temperature.

Not sure a fan and a bigger body is a big leap for Canon.The problem is Canon releasing a camera incapable of not overheating when shooting 8K RAW. A workaround is not a fix. A real fix will be a future release of the R5 line when they have enough technology to shoot 8K RAW without overheating. Until then...

Another thing that keeps bouncing around in my head is someone tested a bunch of cfexpress cards and reported how hot they got. I really want to know how much of a factor that is by testing if I can extend record times by swapping the cards in before I see a thermal warning on screen.
What is 'active' cooling please?The exploded view shows a Peltier module, so it’s active cooling. The fan is cooling for the hot side of the module, not the camera.
