4 new variants :
#1 lsi-fan-bracket-v4-Finished Bracket No holes in the pillars v2.stl - Only holes in the pillars removed, for a Noctua fan
#2 lsi-fan-bracket-v4-Finished Bracket Noctua Raised pillar v1.stl - For a Noctua fan, holes in the pillars removed, one leg is raised since it was obstructing an m.2. ssd on my motherboard.
#3 lsi-fan-bracket-v4-Finished Bracket For Cheap Fans v1.stl - Same as #1 but with dimensions optimized for cheap 1 dollar 40x40x10mm 12V fans off Aliexpress and the likes.
#4 lsi-fan-bracket-v4-Finished Bracket Cheap fan Raised pillar v1.stl - Same as #2 but for cheap Aliexpress 40x40x10mm 12V fans.


The heatsink can get burning hot so I would maybe avoid printing this with PLA. And print with 0.10 layer height for a good fit with the board.
Print settings that I've used in Prusa Slicer to make support removal easier and optimize print quality with PETG:

Layer height: 0.10
    Support material:
Generate supports: Yes
Overhang Threshold: 40%
Style: Snug
Pattern Spacing: 0.75
Top interface layers: 0 (off)
XY separation: 100%
     Filament -> Cooling
Bridges fan speed: 100%
