635ml (21.5oz) Ryzen 2400G Mini-STX Build

Yes, but the 2400G uses TIM, not solder. Point taken on the direct die though - alignment will always be an issue for coolers in non-standard applications.

Socket plastic is a bit higher than CPU

Yes, I watched this video, that’s why I’m going to use 1-1.5mm copper spacer.

Why not just go liquid metal on the stock heat spreader? You'll get about a 10'C decrease in max temps, according to der8auer.

All about the height of the cooler. The highest point of my build will be memory, 20.8-21 mm from the motherboard’s PCB. To keep the size of the case as small as possible, the top panel will be directly above the memory. On the other hand, the height of the processor with stock heat spreader and 12-mm cooler will be about 20.2-20.3 mm. 0.5-0.8 mm between the fan and the top panel is not enough for the fan to work effectively. That’s why any extra mm will be helpful.

Understood. The thickness of the heat spreader, especially considering you'll need to shim it, shouldn't be a deal beaker. Taking SMT's off the die might be, though. The unlidding can be pretty shaky with these Raven Ridge chips as the heat spreader is right up against the SMT's.

I'd heavily reconsider whether you need that extra half millimetre. You can always put more airflow in the case. Check this out for an example:

Wow! Excellent idea, I will consider it.

I wrote a long response about 3D printing. I decided it was better to private message you.

Copper spacers. 25mm x 25mm. Thickness: 0.8, 1.2, 1.5, 2.0

Did you consider going with 2400GE? It seems to be better binned to work at lower power, what will be probably a case in your project.

Nope. On the contrary, I'm going to upgrade 2400G to 3600G (95W) in future

If the 3600G is real, that is. For now, we have zero indication that the """leaked""" wish-list of specifications is anything but pure make-believe.

The motherboard has been modified and cpu has been delidded! Both USB ports work without any issues.

You know what you need? Custom right angle sodimm adapters!

Yes of course! But they are all higher than VLP sodimm. Two weeks ago, I ordered two sticks from enoch.systems and my order is still being processed. What is sad, they do not respond to my emails

Guys, maybe someone knows where can I buy it. I need Innodisk 2x8Gb 2666 VLP SO-DIMM DDR4.

Find someone to design them.

@aquelito do you think c-payne could make VLP right angle sodimm adapters?

Wouldn't one need to be taller than the other, thus meaning longer traces for one memory channel? I might be wrong, but I've read that DRAM is extremely sensitive to trace length (due to how this affects timings) and that this is a major hurdle for motherboard design - wouldn't lengthening the traces by unequal amounts then cause trouble?

Another crazy idea for a cooler for the future overclocked 95W APU:
- aluminum heatsink (147mm x 82mm x 7mm): example
- six fans (40mm x 40mm x 7mm): example

Mockup:

Heat Sink Sizing Calculator

IMO better 15mm height radiator (12mm height radiator) with cutout for 8010 75mm fan and for better transfer heat: two 100mm x 2mm heatpipes (5.5mm or 8.4mm), 100x26x2 aluminum heatpipe or 1.0mm copper plate around socket plastic instead just spacer

The cooler from Zotac 9800 GT Eco has been modified.

After:

Next step is temp testing in Metro Exodus.
