Most teams don't need that much cooling but there are enough around that could probably use it.

if anyone see one, please post it.
I forgot to account for that scenario .

They do make them, but they are rather heavy duty for what we are doing, and are not an allowed part under R66, not that that matters for demonstration purposes.
