When the Compute Module 5 came out, you couldn't use the IO Case's bundled fan and heatsink at the same time - which was spun as letting people try out passive and active cooling separately.

Well, that definitely-not-a-design-flaw-honest has been fixed: the latest IO Case shifts the fan to allow clearance underneath for the heatsink.

Speaking of the CM5, there's a new carrier board coming out - an open-hardware design which adapts it into a mini-ITX form factor complete with x16 (mechanical, it's still one-lane) PCI Express slot.
