Yes... ESC mounted to the flat side and the fans on the other. There are screw holes to mount dual 40mm fans on the finned side of the heatsink.
The nice thing about the mount is that its thick enought that you can add extra 3mm screw holes anywhere you need them to mount it anywhere you need it. Ive added screw hols in a couple of mine to make for clean and simple mounting.
I have fournd that the thermal epoxy isnt needed. Arctic silver thermal paste and a couple zip ties do the trick for me. Once the arctic sliver sets after a week and creats a soft bond to help keep it from sliding around also. But the zip ties have been enough for me.
Mounting the fan under the chassis plate is convienient, but the fans dont last very long mounted top side down like that. One big jump and the blades pop right off. See if you can come up with a configuration that puts the fans on their side. or at least at an angle rather than flat.
I can't decide if its more fun
to make it...
or break it...
Silent...But Deadly
