I am very interested in the 4x4 setup with 12 cxb 3590's with 2 240 h's, what would you guys suggest for active cooling fans, I was thinking somewhere along the lines of 3 reliable fans with a decent dc driver ( not a phone charger lol) any suggestions will be helpful, links are appreciated

running at 1050ma you won't need any fans with normal sized heatsinks. mine are 7" x 5.886" for each cob.

Hey man, quick question. I've always, always built actively cooled rigs, just because I think they're pretty practical nowadays with CPU fans, etc. Does it feel like there's a good amount of heat radiating from each unit? I recently tried a different COB than a Cree or a Vero, and I realized that my small cpu-cooler heatsinks actually had the potential to be hot to the tough. It was kicking off quite a bit of heat over my ladies, I'll tell you it was. I swapped that sucker back out for a 3070 I did, but it was seriously raising my temperatures in the room, with just 1/20 chips being off keen. (Really weird chip too, Pink Citizen COB). I was wondering if passive heatsinks radiated a lot of heat, rather than just quickly dissipating it with convection currents. Does that make any sense?

Like I remember way back, I had this HPS hood that was super thick, and it would naturally be quite warm after several hours of being on right? And my temperatures were just out of control, like couldn't get them below 81. So what do I do? I get a different hood. Same bulb, just in a slimmer profile that didn't have so much pig-iron broadcasting heat like the old fella. Worked like a charm, both of them were cooltubes, but one was a really beafy undertaking. I think there's something to say about nipping heat in the bud, so to speak.

it dissipates the heat pretty dang well. my heatsinks are always slightly warm to the touch, around 80 to 85 F. i've literally sometimes had problems keeping the canopy temps high enough running at nighttime when the outside temps get below 50 F. running cxb3590s soft is an amazing way to reduce heat.

Yeah I was sure it was just the chip causing the problem, but I was kind of shocked to see the difference with Cree chips' native heat management. How does Cree manage to make a product that's 4x better than any competitive brand? Pretty sweet though, finding out that paying 45 bucks for a single LED is actually well worth the money next to an even slightly cheaper chip.

Seriously??? Why slander???. Or even create the thought of something like this. What the fuck is your problem. Where would you even come up with that shit...who the fuck do you think intoduced GM to DIY??? And does shows with him(my idea)?there are plenty of people on my shit list...but shady legal action(not even possible in this case) and/or tattletaling is not my style. And GM is about as from from that list as possible. I'll call people out and use airline points to show up on the door step to settle things. Delete your pitiful slander pronto bro.

He's busy and has done enough for everyone. I talked to him yesterday. He'll be back when he's back. Or maybe never. But on any account...he's fine and nothing catastrophic at all happened.
It's called life and believing or not...we have one that doesn't center around DIY totorials.

Hey Brother I Myself Had To Re-Read His Post Several Times Before I Got The Meaning Of His Post. He's not Saying You Threw Him Under The Bus However It Does Come Off That Way At First. I Agree He Either Should Either Re-Write It Or Delete It.

There have been post after that that had my real name...clearly referencing me. As well as other post that have been changed since I ranted today.
I saw it right away yesterday(cause I follow my friend thread) but let it go cause it wasn't worth it and all should know that would never be the case. Then 3 more people took it the same way I did. And I'm not letting that stand. And either would growmau5.
Glad my 5/6 years of being here expensing, showing, proving, doing things other won't step up to... now starting a company has somehow made me a bad guy. God forbid I did exactly what everyone wanted me to do. And now I'm an asshole cause my stupid little blue badge.
Good luck RIU @sunni @rollitup @Admin, I'll be talking my advertisements away and not contributing anymore...told you this shit would happen with those stupid blue badges. literrally word for word call it...check sunni's PM's. So much for the RIU community.

Whoa whoa whoa, chill chill chill. You're alright man, don't think it was something more than a dopey internet comment. I didn't even take it seriously reading it, and then immediately defended your character saying that you personally, not even your company, would let that happen. We got your back dude. Why would you sue people for assembling parts that you sell on your website? That's just absurd. Rollitup loves you man, you're everyone's COB dad.

On a side note, I don't even think you need to advertise, I've personally referred like 15 people to PLC, just because there isn't any direction to point someone in! All you really have to advertise is COBs in a general sense, I think, for now at least. There's one thing you can say about RIU; I don't think I have ever seen anyone shit-talk your product here. Some people may have just logged in after internalizing several hours of Real Housewives, this is still basically an anonymous forum, after all. Or is at least treated like one. Good to know Mau5 is okay though, I was worried he ran afoul of the law somehow.

Although something tells me that if Mau5 got busted, he'd probably be anonymously bailed out, then taken to Black Mesa and given a new job constructing a Resonance Cascade.

You GG, where are you from man, I was wondering? I've never seen another dude with your name, and you look all but identical to me. I'm a really weird mix of Turkish, Greek, and Balkan heritage myself, my real name on my birth certificate is Zacharjais. I went by Zaq for a while, then my homies started calling me Zaqueel, then Zaqueece, now I'm just Queece. Are you Serbian or Croatian by chance?

ROFL. Holy shit I wasn't even talking about you, I was talking about Deadmau5! You ever heard of copyright infringement? And someone else brought your name into this, not me.

This guy posts all the time here and at youtube and not one of you pot-heads say shit for pages when he stops posting? Yeah the RIU crew has people's backs! ROFL@U2

And if you've read this website you know he's done nothing selflessly. He's a businessman and your all part of his plan.
