You can’t really find them anywhere else cheaper, even aliexpress. I haven’t found any other heat sinks as beefy and that fit relatively OK onto the board. It comes with a cutout foam pad to try to keep it level, but it is still gonna be a little unwieldy.
Pair it with a noctua 80mm PWM 5v: https://www.amazon.com/Noctua-NF-A8-5V-PWM-Premium-Quality/dp/B07DXMF32M
Depending on your climate, you may not even need the fan.
I mounted mine so that the fan blows horizontally, tho I may change that depending on how I end up mounting the board in a case.
That will drop temps into the 40s, max 50C unless you’re being dumb. Use a good thermal grease - I go with good ‘ol mx-4. Good longevity.
Still working on the power distribution option. Looking for best bang for the buck.
Going to design a case and print it out. Thinking modular to be able to add more on vertically or horizontally.
