That's what its supposed to do! Hahaha. Nah I under stand. So to clarify, you got all your fans working on the arctic64's?
Yes my friend! The arctic’s heatsinks and my thermaltake fans that never fácil me haha!
Temps inside tent about 26-27C but the heatsinks are little warm to the touch. The next thing is buy a 4” inline fan because mine is a 4” 110v bathroom extractor and is not sufficient.

And I really happy with my new lights! Hey there’s a way to know if my lights are really 90cri? I know that Cobkits are really great people but also to be sure that they sent me the right thing without mistake.

Anyone know how to wire this:

US $12.87 17% Off | AC 80-260V 100A Voltage Current Watt Power Energy Meter PZEM-061 with Split CT #Sep.07
https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/btvbZoMg

I purchased one and it’s at my country waiting for delivery maybe this week. There’s a video tutorial or something, I’ve seen some videos but not oriented to cobleds build.

It just goes onto the AC side(between wall plug and driver) I think. I really don't know for sure. I'd like to start using one myself honestly.

At aliexpress are so cheap. Will update soon.

And about 90cri I think that too, @CobKits are great and honestly people. They helped me and everything was great.

what kind of chips are they, some have part numbers but youd usually need to unmount (some are on back of chip)

theres no incentive to swap 90s for 80s on a sales basis they are all the same cost....

They are CLU 048 1212 3000K but do not worry my friend, I just wanted to be sure but already the chips are mounted and I would not like to take them out just to see that, I trust that you sent the 90cri, I asked the question because I thought you could know by the color of the light or something like that.

She´s receiving love, thanks for help!

I DIT IT! I´m so happy just did my first DIY Cob very well (I think), special thanks to everyone help me, especially to @Airwalker16 who helped me a lot via PM without telling me that I am annoying HAHA (not yet).

I was able to wiring, drill, screw, test with multimeter and even instal a watt meter without know anything about electricity, i feel so great and proud! None of this would have done without all the knowledge that RIU have been given here.

Run smooth, soft warm to the touch at max, I´ll test better soon (harvested yesterday). I placed the driver on a heatsink that I did not use. It just feels warm. I purchased too 4 AC Infinity S5 fans because the Arctic´s one came bad (or I burned idk). But they are JUST AWESOME.

So, here are some pictures

Any advice to improve I´ll appreciate too. Thanks!

Hey tombom do you have any other pics of how you wired your watt meter and driver? I bought the same one but i cant get it to power up. Thank you.
 
Ok thanks I think I know where I went wrong.

I installed the watt meter after the driver.

The wall outlet is ac going to the driver. But the driver converts it to dc for the quantum boards. This ac unit wont work on dc.

Did you install your watt meter before the driver by chance?

Yes, before the driver. The unit only read the ac power draw from wall.
