It's true, it doesn't come with a fan, and for some cases maybe doesn't need one, but I picked one up since it's running builds constantly: https://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/X15FANKIT/X15FANKIT-ND/5822502 Main problem is the fan turns on and off multiple times per minute, rather than running long enough to actually cool the heat sink down each time it turns on... presumably that's solvable through software or a kernel setting, but I haven't delved into it. Quieter fans also probably exist. In general, I prefer fanless systems... live well, vagrant
