As ZM knows all too well I get things wrong.

I thought I had heard SHE was a woman and then there were so many threads saying to the contrary - so I went along with the usual male chauvinist assumption.

Who knows where the number came from - must have been thinking about DACs at the time.
 
Does this heat sink price seem too good to be true?

Blocked

I know the size is unusual - 36 inches by 2.25 inches.

is there something insurmountable (no pun intended) in using such a "DC-DC converter heat sink"?

A vertical pipe made with two and a small fan blowing upwards; it would make an unusual package = mounting the power supply would require some kind of elevation.

But the price for that thermal resistance spec is very tempting. It says with natural convection 0.07 degrees C/W.

EDIT
In my post where my link says it is blocked. It would let me use the link - I do not know if that is true for others.

feel free to ignore that, due to fact that you don't have transistor long 18 inches and 2.25 inches wide

heat transfer is physical thing ........ and you can't cheat physics

looong heatsink - simply - it'll be hooooooooooot around part, and coooooooold everywhere else
 
Hi ZM.

I'm starting to work on my chassis while I wait for the kits. I will leave the two channels as a single PCB in my arrangement. Can you tell me the dimension between the two holes I've circled in yellow on the attached image - thanks.

except in case of forced air or extremely big heatsink, I wouldn't go with both channels on one heatsink

remember that each channel is having 75-80W of heat

anyway, dimension you are asking for is exactly 99.7mm, never planned to be important as round number

though, take it as 100mm - holes big enough that M3 screws 100mm apart are Bingo!
