Hmmm, well that green one looks like a great one to use! With a little fan if you want?

The Athlon heatsink is kinda tall, and too heavy, IMO. Although, would work very well!

You've gotta have a small screw driver that can do this!? :032: :005:

I assure you, the FET's are not well thermally coupled to the case at all! First, the thermal pads are crap, not for high output applications, and there are two of these to go through. Second, where it attaches to the case, it's only touching along the two outer edges, about 1/4 each side. It just can't escape.

BTW, how come you bent down the side of your Quark case?! :002:
