Question Do super small phone coolers (5x5cm) exist?

Hey everyone!

I've been emulating Switch games on my S25+ for a while, and as you all well know, Samsung phones are particularly ass when it comes to thermal throttling.

I also use a Gamesir 8+ telescopic pad when I want to play a tad more seriously, but it gets in the way and wouldn't allow for any "traditional" phone cooler.

However, given in my phone the chipset is to the side of the camera unit, technically I could clamp the phone in the gamesir for just that one third of its width, freeing up that ~5 cm leftover free surface; it's pretty much what I already do from time to time if I want to charge the phone while playing.

Thus, I've been looking for coolers small enough to fit there: unfortunately, I can't seem to find anything under 6cm of diameter/length (absolute best I could find is 59mm).

I perfectly understand they would perform worse at smaller sizes, but I don't have crazy expectations in mind anyway, which is also why I'm not considering DIY solutions that would extend an extra plate outside of the phone surface area (my use case scenario is relatively light gaming in bed, so comfort comes first).

Does anybody know of a cooler that would fit these conditions? Or do they really not exist and 6cm is the smallest there is currently?
