I think seanny was wondering if there are any specs /info of this new ACA V1.1 (or #2) that might have leaked out before its official launch at BAF. Only specs I saw was this post from Mr. Pass:
My M2 story
Knowing nothing about heatsinks, I wondered if I could trouble someone to let me know if this spec is ok for the ACA. Length I ordered is 10" (Qty2). This width was like $.30 per inch cheaper than some others close to this size, and now I'm afraid I might have gotten it wrong.
I still don't understand the c/w rating.
Extruded Aluminum Heatsink
Alloy: 6063-T5
Width: 4.850"
Fin Height: .66"
Base: .140"
C/W/3": approximately 2.25
Weight per Inch: .13

Thank you.
So pushing a maximum of 7 watts the temperature would be close to 16c or 60F. That sounds like it should be fine and never go hotter than room temperature unless I'm missing something. Or do I need to factor in ambient temperature as well?
Ok, that's too hot. I need the amp to be on most of the day, and have 2 dogs and a cat, all with a curious nature.
I canceled the order and will get something larger with at least 1inch fins.
Thanks.
