Alternative cooling for BKHD 1264 NAS mainboard

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??

I have a similar board with a similar cooler and it's very quiet. It's temperature controlled and mostly off or on low RPM. I can't hear it in its case. I haven't stress tested it though.

edit: the N100 has a lower TDP then my CPU
- The N5105 one
- Thanks for your reply! Which board do you have?

- Does yours have 8 sata ports or dual external sf8088 ports per chance and moreram?
