At least know what you're talking about.I'm seeing taped up wire. At least use electric tape.
At least know what you're talking about.
That is kapton tape...originally made by DuPont. It is heat resistant to 400C, electrically isolated, and leaves no residue even if you take it off and reposition. So when the heatsink heats up and your electrical tape is melting off leaving a residue and your wires are drooping...his will be secure and tight and he will be telling you what to do.
Ohh, is hard to see. I guess I'm the one who should know what he's talking about. If so, sorry @Jeeyah. Coffee is still brewingDC from the driver looks scotch taped gg....hard to see..

My thoughts exactly with clear tape. I was saying to myself, no way did he have everything else right and then do that.Its clear electrical tape (look it up, they make it). Its also temporary to test. But by all means, continue to make assumptions about "scotch" tape. Do you really think I would use scotch tape to temp wire $470 worth of electrical goodies?

No thermometer or thermocoupler. I am not too worried about the layout being close to the perimeter. We will see if I start dropping wattage. That 230mm fan should be able to push plenty of air to keep them cool.
And as far as tapping and driller, I did not tap. I may venture into that on the next one as I did not even think about it honestly. I used 6mm screws and nuts. The nuts fit perfect (although a pain to install) between the heatsink fins so once they are started, they do not need to be held with a wrench. Do not have to worry about stripping aluminum taps either that way.

@doz do you have an it thermometer, thermocoupler, or something to test heat around the cobs. Love the clean look. Just a little curious with the layout so close to the perimeter.
