Plopped the VLP ram from supermicro on a x570 Aorus board, 3950x w/ Blackridge cooler & 120mm slim noctua fan. I'm confirming they fit in an S4 Mini but it's literally sitting on top of the ram. 0mm of clearance.
In order to get it to fit I had to toss the vibration pads on the noctua as well as the 2 sided tape i was using. The fan clips do not work with the x570 aorus as it hits the (vram/io?) heatsink. Since there is 0 clearance, one retaining screw on the fan is enough to hold it snug against the heatsink (sandwiched between the ram).
Also, there was a fair amount of uhh...
this. I was a little bit more cautious and heated up the pipes before hand. even then, there was a deeply uncomfortable moment when I was test fitting the side panel and the entire motherboard assembly was flexing 1-2mm in order for me to be able to screw the panel in place.
Is it sexy? Yes. Is it safe? At this point, if the mobo cracks in half I'll consider it a win as long as the CPU makes it out ok. I'm waiting on my HDPlex psu and cables from Josh @ NFC (i think they ship tomorrow or next day) and will post update on my build log.
