> my loud 8” ultraportable Chuwi Minibook, with a Intel Core m3-8100Y, and how much I hate that fan.

Isn't it possible to open it up and replace the fan with a Noctua?

It's a minibook and I don't think Noctua sells fans tiny enough to fit those unique cooling assemblies.
One of Noctua's products is a giant, passively cooled CPU heatsink. It juts out of the case.

They were kind enough to ship the backplate to my motherboard, even though that should have come with the board originally.

I'm glad I could find something that might help me run a quieter home server. Really appreciate their support.
