Zen Variation 9

Hi

I’m working on a ZV9/F3 and need some guidance on where to locate the output device to maximize heat spread across the heatsink. 2 scenarios; one with devices far from each other and the pic they are closer.

Heatsink is fan cooled, 300mm (D) x 180mm (W) with 50mm fins. I have no clue if this setup will be able to stay below 50C while having to dissipate 150W (75W/ch)

Thanks for the advice

Eric

I used 3 separated heatsinks to build a single channel and I noticed that the only one which is really hot is the Q2 heatsink. Its temperature is much higher than the rest. IMO I would advice you to cool the place near Q2 if you want to use a fan and locate Q2 in the middle of heatsink. Of course if we talk about Z9. Mark is according to the schema.
 
Patrick , ZV9 and F3 uses only one LU1014D per Chanel. There is matching process to set the dostortion to the lowest but that is for R3 in ZV9. Don't understand how matching comes into play when there is only one device per channel?
