Are you using IRF610?

Its max junction temperature rating is about 150 deg C. So, in my case, I use them with max in-service heat sink temperature at about 70 deg C which might mean the junction temperature at about 75 deg C. Assuming my temperatures are acceptable, if I compare my sink sizes to yours, mine have wider surface areas.

For you to get better replies, I think you need to measure your sink temperature and post it.

Nice photos Jaac !!! I am using rubycon za im my aleph 3(not finished yet) also.
How your alephs sound with them. I think you are using Rubycon za also.

thanks ruby's ?? where ?? no in my aleph i use panasonics as main caps and also the low esr caps in the amplifier itself. And for the sound i don't know tonight I go to my friend and I will complete the amps, the settings for the currentsourse where incorrect.

To get back to the question: How much voltage are you feeding the psu's with? The psu fets often runs quite hot (depending on the excess voltage they have to burn) and your heatsinks seems a little on the small side.

Hoping this info useful . . .

I often use the used piece of aluminium plate as a heat sink.
The example is shown in the picture.
Four IRF610 dissipate heat about total 5.5W.
I have sink temperature at maximum 65 deg C.
I assume the temp rise is about 40 deg C above room temp.
So the sink has thermal resistance of about 7.5 deg C/W.

It's a chocolete selector.

Size is somewhat big as a result that I just wanted to use the wood box wandering around. The front side is made of copper-clad Epoxy board while the back side is of Phenol board. To reinforce the strength in thickness direction, I doubled Phenol boards with glue. On innner side of the back panel, the copper-clad is used as a ground plane.
