Pascal Dornier says that consistent pressure between the CPU and heat spreader is critical. He also says the colored cases have better emissivity: http://pcengines.ch/apucool.htm Some emissivity tests: http://snap.fnal.gov/crshield/crs-mech/emissivity-eoi.html More cooling surface area here (but not colored): http://linitx.com/viewproduct.php?prodid=12745
