Yes the stock paste is MX4 and it performs great.That's very good to know. Thank you for clearing that up. Have you ever tested the pre applied tim that comes on the arctic alpine 11?
Hi.Can i use stock paste on arctic alpine 64 plus?Yes the stock paste is MX4 and it performs great.
Best thing I read all day,, LOL,, love itNo worries, I was feelin' the love all the way...
DIY kicks ass, brother; we right here on this forum are building things that are changing the face of agriculture as significantly as the advent of the farm tractor.
I'm glad it makes you feel good; it should. On the other hand, I believe the stakes are a lot higher than mere bragging rights; we need to be able to feed ourselves much closer to home than we're now used to, and this technology will become an increasingly important piece of that affordable and available food source picture in the future.Best thing I read all day,, LOL,, love it
Pass that over here.I'm glad it makes you feel good; it should.

Better lighting with less watts, thus needing less cooling, means a dramatic reduction in electricity consumption. That sounds like an agricultural revolution to me! The Age of the Indoor Green Wave cometh; see now our COBs lighting the way!
Awesome manJust hung this up today after a month worth of planning and work. My plan was to make something similar to a hangable shop light(a 4 foot CFL fixture) with passive cooling, so I can add and drop lights as needed. I wanted something to replace my MARS 2 1200 which seemed to have a few dead LEDs. I was planning on dropping around $1000 on a pre-made LED's, but that market is full of snake oil salesmen. I would rather fail making my own LED system than buy into some BS told to me by a salesman. The overall price tag on this was around $1500 for 15 COB's, 5 heatsinks, 5 drivers and other parts. Huge thanks to the master @Growmau5, his videos opened my eyes to DIY LED as well as personal advice he gave me. I can't make anything as good/clean as what he does but I am happy. More thanks to @CanadianONE @SupraSPL @EfficientWatt and many others of which I cant find a name at the moment for guides and tips.

It feels great to have a grow room that doesn't look like a rave. I love the clean look of the white LEDs. There is a bit more work to do but do to time restriction and me wanting to show off, this is what I am showing. Thanks again to everyone in this community that made the process fairly easy for an idiot like myself.

I'm not 100% on this but it sounds like you will be o.k. passively cooling 3 cobs with a 66' heatsink. I have a question of my own. Anyone who orders from Kingbright get confirmation or shipping/shipped notice from them? I've been waiting patiently for a little while but everywhere else that I have made online purchases have sent me at least an order confirmation.
