Seems some of the CPU board designers didn't think about the thermal issues. When the CPU is put on the side that is agains the motherboard the heat has a hard time to escape.
It also confused me slightly ;)

Btw, how many layers is the A4000 motherboard?

Layers in this context is the pcb traces within same PCB.
