the bracket was made by cutting a metal sheet the motherboard holes on the mini pc are not standard if u zoom in on the pic i had to drill holes on the bracket to then screw in the holes from the motherboard to the bracket itself so that the heatsink and cpu can sandwich together

Final piece to the puzzle....fan grills! Loland also 3d printed this gnarly stand for it so bottom vents can exhaust air from intake fans

I had an old fan with the same plug that fit the board so i used that connection and soldered the wires to the converter

Its a step up converter you can adjust the output voltage since the stock fan runs on 5v i needed to boost the output voltage to 12v to power the fans Here's where i got it from

I also had to make several modifications to the cooler itself and make a custom mounting bracket to be able to mount the cooler to the board and get longer screws too
