I recently picked up an older HFX Micro barebone brand new for 14€

I slightly modded the case to fit a GTX 1060 and by using a flat coolpipe to passively cool an i5 6400T (cheap, efficient and easy to bend) :

The heatsink dimensions are 220 x 80 x 30 mm.

It is enough to handle a i5 6400T in burn : temps stabilize at 65° after 30min of Prime 95
However, temps are slow to get back to normal as the radiator quickly staturates.
Using both radiators wouldn't hurt.

You'd need more cooling surface to cool a 65W APU but it seems very doable
