I have i question about this image
It shows that the AVALON chips are at the top of the board and radiator is on the bottom. It is correct or a mistake or am I missing something?
The chips put the heat at the bottom. They are designed this way. The pcb itself is a bad heat transporter so in the pcb are vias included that transport the heat through the pcb. Then on the other side the heatsink takes the heat and is cooling the chip.

Makes perfect sense to me. Imagine replacing one faulty chip, with all that sticky paste to get rid of.
This way, they are all easy accessible.
One thing i thought of, why dont you have these snapmounts put on the boards? that way we can all mount the chips with our thumbs in each socket. Or will it induce cooling problems raising the chip from the board?
