Does anyone know if there are SMT "three pin headers" available?
These (and the PCIe-power connector) are the only through-hole parts, which I will try to avoid (to put the board on one big heatsink). If not, I'll use wires to daisy-chain, or "SMT-bent" pins or something.

Yes of course:

The problem is only that they cannot be put so close on the edge that you can jumper between the boards like designed.

But then again, I think some of the pcb manufacturers does not allow you to get copper that far out, due to panelizing problems? (Vscoring destroys the copper or something)
I guess some very short wires for chaining would be better?
