Alternative cooling for BKHD 1264 NAS mainboard (sh.itjust.works)

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??

Edit in April 2024 for those who are looking for this specific board:

I bought the board and it's running my homeserver now. In general it works very well, the performance is good, it is stable (no crashes or any hardware hiccups).

The biggest downside is that fan control doesn't seem to work. The board has a CPU_FAN and a SYS_FAN header, both 4 pin but both headers seem to run at full speed all the time even though BIOS offers some basic fan control settings. I don't know if this is because of my incompetence or an error in BIOS but if you're looking for a silent build with case fans, this may not be your board.
