I got Linksys E8450 aka. Belkin RT3200 ( https://fcc.io/K7S-03571 ) as
well as Ubiquiti UniFi 6 LR ( https://fcc.io/SWX-U6LR ). Both got quite
massive customized heatsinks (see internal photos on FCC submission),
which results in much better heat dissipation than just having the
naked chip like on the BPi-R64.
Hence I also can't test the fan approach on boards other than the R64.
