Gigabyte Brix BMCE-5105

non-fanless product and often blows

The technical description says "Quiet operation due to fanless design" which is not the case at all.
There is a small fan in the case and it is very often active. It is not very audible, but it is present, which is a disadvantage in my case.
For the rest, it does its job.
I still find it very hot compared to a Core i5-8259U based NUC. For exactly the same installation (Win 10 pro fresh install), the core i5 does not ventilate and heats little, while the N5105 present in the BRIX BMCE-5105 ventilates often and seems to heat more.
