I have the N3. Works great, no issues cooling.

It looks like the problem with the N4 would be the clearance between the CPU and the case. You’d have to have a very low profile flat cooler, or a blower fan (noisy).

I’d check the specs and verify the actual dimensions of what you can use, and whether that would be sufficient for your use case. Remember that you also need room between the fan and case for air to actually move through.

Actually I just looked again and the top of the case is perforated, so maybe that won’t be an issue? It will restrict airflow of course, but it shouldn’t be that much of a problem.

Reminder that unless you are protecting the lives of others, no job is worth your own life. Keeping a hospital online to keep patients alive? Sure, I might stay through a hurricane for that. Keeping email online for Helen in accounting? Nah, that can wait. We have DR plans.

Also, you don’t significantly increase a generator’s efficiency by removing the load. In fact, they need to have a minimum load to run properly (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wet_stacking). If you wanted to save fuel, you’d have to shut it down completely. If you wanted to ensure continuous operation, you’d already have a fuel truck on standby to go in behind the hurricane and refuel.
