So replaced heatsink by [https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002536334210.html](https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002536334210.html) - it’s Waveshare brand, match all the specifications but it’s little bit noisy - will be adding also [https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005001710082330.html](https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005001710082330.html), suggested by @spkesDE 😉 The top lid can be closed without any problem, there is even more space compared to the bigger heatsink I used before.

_Beware - the cage needs to be de-soldered due to the mounting mechanism of Waveshare fan._

_Do not comment on way I connected it unless you have some good recommendation instead 😉 But voltage wise seems to be fine for HP23._

Impact on the temperature (please note my HP23 is not like yours, it’s always and permanently doing something) - past 30 days - fluctuates between 49C-52C

_(first is stock - reaching even over 80C, 2nd is heatsink I posted above, 3rd decrease is fan)_
