Look no further…
Impressive and reusable.
Yes, it is a new technology that popped up for computer CPU’s but the thing is that, when you mount the VIM heatsink, the Vim heatsink, kind of “hovers” over the CPU region, there is not much physical contact area, so we need to raise the height or something…
you can lift the cover with long screws and put a larger radiator, it should be fine
Yeah, but how long?, with the radiator (7-8 mm extra) and Fan (20mm extra) we would need some really Long screws…
I did not offer a fan, I offered to put more radiator
I wanted to say, screw the hinges higher
it all depends on the height of the radiator
This measurement was based on the radiator Bower64 was deciding to use…
ok, you need to look at the situation
A little busy, but I’ll make it quick.
Most heat sinks are designed for ease of manufacture via aluminium extrusion.
A corrugated or spiral heat sink would require an aluminum mould to be made before mass-pro is possible - this makes it prohibitively expensive.
In the past, I did thermal simulations during my university days, and I found that a spiral heatsink paired with a centrifugal fan produced an awesome result - alas spiral heatsinks are very expensive to make.
Are VIM heatsinks extruded ?
I thought they were CNCed…
Extruded, then post-processing is done via CNC.
All extruded blanks need to be CNCed, because the extruder produces a very rough result.
So it is usually:
Moulding -> CNC
Extruding -> CNC
Oh ok, I thought the were made from block aluminium altogether…

Then the heatsink would sell for $50. 
No thanks, 10$ sounds well and good

But how hard would it be to make the VIM heatsink with that wavy fin?, I will export a model of how it looks later for you to look at…
Here is a simple preview.
If its a one-off thing, you could get it 3D printed in metal and sanded. Still not cheap, but easy to produce.
Everything is easy to produce with enough money in the bank.

as you see buddy, this is not profitable, your idea is too expensive

Buddy no offense, This topic is called Extreme cooling ,
you want to do extreme cooling, then you have to break the bank…
