Hello, i got my hands on a little mighty ASRock IMB-180 industrial motherboard with a tiny CPU cooler, which is kinda enough for the 49000MQ under it as long as you dont do any overclocking. The problem is that it has really bad cpu fan control that makes the system to be unbearably loud at load with that tiny 60mm fan. I cant seem to find a bigger CPU cooler for this board and making a custom heatsink is not easy since there is not much width around the cpu socket. Maybe someone knows where i could get a decent cpu cooler for this?

Why not use a zalman fanmate, resistor, or something similar?
I've got one of these boards in an unused old psile build of mine and attached a 80mm fan.
Have a nice copper heatsink which I think are unfortunately no longer available, but that helps a lot.
You might still find those on eBay maybe. Or buy some heatsink and drill some holes yourself.
