Due to supply bottlenecks, there are currently not many mini-ITX motherboards that offer 10GbE onboard. The Supermicro X10SDV-4C-TLN4F has two of them, making it particularly suitable for a NAS. I would have preferred a more modern board without a fixed CPU, but the small Xenon with 35W does the job. Around CHF 680 for a board from 2015 is very expensive, but there is currently a lack of choice on the market.
The passive heat sink on the CPU expects a cool air flow, which a fan in the case must generate. However, my plan was to install the board in the Streacom DB4 case and use its passive cooling. Therefore, I removed the heat sink.
The M3 screws are easy to loosen but the thermal paste keeps the heat sink in place. Here you have to heat the heat sink slightly with a hairdryer for a few seconds. The heat sink can then be removed. The heat sink from Streacom also uses M3 screws. The existing backplate of the X10SDV-4C-TLN4F can be used (it would be complicated to remove the backplate and you would risk damaging the board). You still need the optional CPU attachment "ST-MU40" from Streacom for socketless CPUs, as the enclosed attachment is too large.
Cooling the 35W CPU with it is no problem. Other components of the board nevertheless expect an active air flow, which I tackled with the Akasa PCI slot fan and a quiet Noctua 80mm fan.

1 month in use, everything good. Installation easy, functions good. Download drivers from the SM website and install.

cpu cooling is a bit problem, heat sink small or better to add small fan
