Wii U CPU + GPU clock speeds increased? Is it even possible?

WOW Did you guys never used any external cooling system for the consoles?

I used a lot in PS2 age... now for PS3 and Wii I didn't use but that because my room is really below the avg. temperature here (my girlfriend says my bedroom is so cold sometimes lol)... and I have a PS3 Slim model.

I think the consoles are made/projeted to temperatures like EU, US and Japan... I know these place have hot times too but for me it is cold yet lol lol lol... eg. I can't enter in the sea in Europe .

I find this quite interesting because where I live in Australia and temperatures around 35 are the norm through summer and days above 40 aren't even that unusual yet I've never heard of anyone having console overheating problems. (except RROD which is a slightly different issue)

Conventional wisdom here suggests it's unwise to stack your consoles or keep them in a very confined space but I've never seen or heard of anyone using external fans.  I've just run my Wii U all through summer in a room that get's direct sun all through the middle of the day and the system always runs cool, so it makes we wonder if there are other factors at play.
