Hey folks, I have Pi 4 model B (4GB with LineageOS 22.2 Konstakang flashed) and bought this fan ![Image]()
with it (it was recommended on the website where I bought the Pi) but it is way bigger than the CPU, as you can see here

side by side with the Pi just by itself. So I was wondering if I bought the correct one or not and a few questions popped in my mind with that:

side by side with the Pi just by itself. So I was wondering if I bought the correct one or not and a few questions popped in my mind with that: - Can I still use it with heatsink as is? If yes, how? As in the photo previously showed (centered on the CPU), as in this photo

or this photo ![Image]()
covering a bit of the RAM - in which case, should I put a thermal padto have a contact with the heatsink? - Could I buy/build a heat disipator to have every chip refreshed?
- Should I ditch this fan, keep it for another project and just buy another refreshment system?
