13mm cooler seems quite challenging.

It’s not problem for me, I have expirience

I'm very curious on any thin 13mm cooler concepts or actual apparatus. More specifically what kind of heatsink you're getting and modifying, because the fan is easy. I also wonder if it can handle the load or thermal throttle. What is your idea? Your "expirience"?

Also, I think your IO dillemma is fixed by desoldering the ethernet-usb stuff, like a raspberry pi but that's all I know hueuhue.

I plan to use single slot VGA cooler, something like this. Maybe I’ll make it by myself if I can't find right size.
As for IO dillemma, yes, I’m going to desolder it I’ll use mini pci-e wifi adapter instead of ethernet port.

You'd have to downclock the APU a lot then. Those lil' things can only handle like 30-40W.

Maybe yes, maybe not. I need to test it.
1. This is GTX 750 card, that has 55W TDP. I read some reviews, max temp on full load is only 59C.
2. I plan to delid APU.
3. I don’t play in heavy games, only in CS:GO and Overwatch.

But my priority is the world record I will downclock my APU If it is needed.

Mxm cooler? lolol

You might be best off mounting the whole board on a single 5x5 block of aluminum / copper heatsink, with a rectangle cut into it for memory, and another for a fan. This will easily cool a 45W processor, with the lowest size possible.

 

[rcodi]

Perhaps a two-piece case with the top half used as a heatsink?

Interesting, thanks. I’ll order it.

Good option, I already have this aluminum heatsink and will try this solution.

Maybe you can show some examples?

Something like the Ocelot Cub?

That is a cool design, and looks very doable from CNC milled aluminum. Too bad it was just a concept.

This thread, while going through the whole thing starts to get related to what you're doing with low profile sodimms and the "single block of aluminum" and obscure but niche-fitting coolers from aliexpress.

Yes, I was. I found a lot of ideas in that thread. But as I understood, 0.89L build wasn’t finished.

 

[chinevo]

I chose CustomMOD (nano design) for implementing this project, now I’m just waiting for Asrock and their mobo.

 

[Jello]

Did Asrock even confirm they're making that motherboard, or are you just going off what they showed in the thread?

Asrock haven’t confirmed that mobo yet.

 

[Windfall]

If they do, I have three cases ready for AMD stx: a 3.7L one that supports half height GPU's, a 1.2 L one that would run Igpu, and a 4L one that could handle a full GPU (all use hdplex) If AM4 STX happens, I'm dumping my current project.

 

[chinevo]

Wow, 35W Ryzen 5 2400GE has been released! Asrock, your turn

 

[chinevo]

The project is closed in favor of the new 0.59L KabyLake-G build.
