Well, I bought a 40x40x11 mm heatsink and sawed 10 mm away, so that it could nicely fit in the top opening of the Pibow Coupe case (the 40x30x5mm heatsinks are sold out everywhere...). Then I placed a 5V 40x10mm NOCTUA fan (the normal version, not the PWM one), but connected to the 3.3V pin. This fan is very, very, very quiet. I have not been able to get the temperature above 53 C, despite my best efforts. It usually stays between 37 and 40...
Attached is a picture of the result. Could be more beautiful, but I think that for now it is ok...
And, by the way, 5.4beta2 (or should I cll to 6.0b2?) is quite snappy, except for library building (but TBH I have a 140K file library, and it is on a normal USB hard disk, not an SSD, so this is expected to take time). Loading it is MUCH better than before, the new Pi is really more responsive.
