Look what I found in the trashbin!

Hello all,

Found these heatsinks in the trashbin at work, it took a bit of diplomacy to get the necessary papers to get them past security.
I've got four of them, and I'm building 4 channels of Aleph 5. They are 20cm wide, 32cm high and have 55mm fins on a 15mm base. Does anybody know who could be the manufacturer of these?
I do think that these should be adequate but I would like to know the rating to be sure.

Regards,

Jarno.

Youre lucky working at such a place. At my place nobody throws precious things away

Hello Uli,

It's amazing how much gets thrown away, and it's also quite hard to be able to take something past security. You need to ask permission to certain people, get the necessary forms. So lots of times it's easier to just throw it away, I think this is not a good thing, but I don't want to be known as a "dumpster diver"!

I would cut them to pieces 16cm high and build a case 40cm deep.

They are then plenty enough for 2 Aleph 2 Monos.

Hi Jarno,

Do you have a heavy electrical watercooled saw at your work?
Even then,it's a hell of a job to saw heatsink material.

I have some experience.

B.t.w. it's an attack on the old metal budged of your work. No beer tomorrow at the end of the day.

Regards,
Johan.

Actually a simple bandsaw will do the job in minutes. I have cut quite a number of heatsinks like that.

Holy Heatsink Batman! Great find! It looks as if that will dissapate a good amount of heat.

i agree with magura. i have a relatively small bandsaw in my shop, and it does fine with large heatsinks.
