I understand and I am sure others felt the same buy just have a look around this site I am sure the guys on here have purchased hundreds if not thousands of COB's from Jerry collectively.

How well do the Arctic heatsinks work? And what do I plug them into?

I have an arctic with a cxa3070 running 50W and does well. I took an old phone charger, snipped the ends and fastened them together. Just be sure to get the polarity right.
 
I would rather have something I can plug 4 or 8 fans into lol and I plan on using thermal paste as the Tim but I was wondering if I can tape the cxb3590 to the heatsink with Kapton tape inside of using a cob holder?

Ok looks like I am using this set up
What type of wire do I need to wire the cxb3590s ? And for the ac plug is there anything specific about the plug I need or can I just use an extension cord?

There inst much if anything out there that you will find for a plug n play setup for any of this and that's why we call it DIY lol You can however simplify things if you dont want to crimp or solder wires together you can go the wago connector (or similar) route.
