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.
