I finally got what I think were heat sinks larger than provided, with more surface area, and providing clearance under the fan… Digikey ATS010010010-SF-1I. They needed thermal tape added. Shown is the new sinks next to the provided, and installed on the motherboard.

 ![Taped Sinks](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex031/uploads/maslowcnc/original/3X/7/e/7e4adbac871331e51a94c3444a550a417427340d.jpeg)  
 ![Installed Sinks](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex031/uploads/maslowcnc/original/3X/5/a/5abdfbf1b71493f510be1751be3ecef91d9949b6.jpeg) I should be able to start making some dust soon.
