Ace or idol somehow regulated by fan? (3-6)
I believe the answer is:
air-cooled
'regulated by fan?' is the definition.
(cooled with a fan)
'ace or idol somehow' is the wordplay.
'somehow' indicates an anagram.
'ace'+'or'+'idol'='aceoridol'
'aceoridol' with letters rearranged gives 'AIR-COOLED'.
I've seen this clue in The Times.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
