Hey community,

this is probably very specific but I try anyway:

I am planning on building my first DIY NAS and found this motherboard BKHD 1264 NAS.

You can buy it from AliExpress under the brand name “Topton”

It ticks all the boxes and is not that expensive. The only thing that looks sub par is the cooling. I am aiming for a silent build and these small fans aren’t exactly silent most of the time.

So I consider changing the heatsink to something more confidence-inspiring and relying on good case fans.

My question: Does anyone know where I can find heatsinks that might fit this mount??

    If you have vertical clearance above the board, get a pwm 120mm fan, carefully zip tie and call it a day.

    The added benefit of an oversized fan beyond noise is that it’s actively cooling other parts of the board which normally may not be reached by the smaller fan.
