FYI - installed new [heat-sink](https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003955915167.html) on my heavily loaded system and also put thermal pads on memory chips + **it’s possible to close the top part** , which is great (I like the HP23 design)

Used this heatsink : [https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003955915167.html](https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003955915167.html)

**However please note I had to modify it - the cutout for BT+2.4GHz antenna must be much wider !!**

The bad heatsink with **improper** cutout :

The good (original) :

Probably next step will be : [https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005004355749568.html](https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005004355749568.html)

 ![obrazek](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/e/1/e1439f9f3101b37684ca3d7fae003a79ae3b9a18.jpeg) or [https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003237704129.html](https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003237704129.html) - the maximal height seems to be 11mm (10mm with fan) so that you can still close the top part.

…but this will require again soldering of the carrier board as the threads can’t be inserted in reversed way. Also it’s a question, where to connect FAN, probably will do some research around but maybe someone know ? Possibly in the way it can be controlled ? 😉
