The sink temped at 135, the center heat spreader was at 145, and the caps were at 150. The lead connectors were also at 150. I'm wondering if the power leads are heating up the capacitors or vise versa. I think that more caps are definitely in order. I'm going to have to figure out how I'm going to mount this thing. I am now believing that the stock case is less than ideal.
I just can't figure out how so many are running the Quark without heat issues or adding caps.

Looks not bad.
ppkkskskshhhh, no one having heat issues with the Quark?! :005:
Can you read any brand or markings on the stock caps? I would like to find out the specs on them.
The stock case is a piece if you ask me, no way for the heat to escape. I am getting so anxious for my Quark to get back, I want to get my new case machined up. I am still trying to figure out a good way to add caps to it that will secure them well.
150 for the caps is pretty good, they are rated for 221F operation. And 135 for the ESC is great as well.
