So the internet was out earlier and I got bored so I made a active cooling system on my benchtop heatsink from Mrcrouse.

Used an old CPU heat sink I had sitting around that I usually sit Mrcrouse's heatsink on to line it up with things.


Removed the base and lined it up on top (or the bottom I should say) of the CPU heatsink.


Holes drilled and base was countersunk for the screws.


Thermal paste in between all the metal to metal connections.


And for added "cool-ability" I threw in a small fan and ran it off a 9V. Will make a trip to the electronics store next week and get a 9V bay and a switch and permanently mount that to one of the sides and maybe even an LED for "On". Who knows.

Perfect for one of those single mode diodes :p

Looks good, that should keep anything cooled!
