I usually glue extra heat sinks on the Bridge(s) as they do run hot and hotter than cpu.

I thought about that, but decided to just throw a fan at it instead. For me, running one basically silent fan is close enough to fanless that I don't worry about it.
One think I forgot to mention before. I don't think the 1230 has graphics built in, pretty sure you need to move up the foodchain to get graphics, that's why people are using the 1265l, because it's lower power and has graphics.
But, if this is a just a music PC, I think you can use a higher TDP processor and still go fanless. I was using a 65w TDP G630 and it barely got warm. I think the entire PC drew around 30 watts when listening to music.
