yea i suggest to play it safe and beware the temperature also,just install a nice heatsink and watch your duty cycles :yh:

for the heat sink Ill be taking an intel stock cooler, (75W+TDP rated) and boring a hole through the center slug to mount the laser's 12mm copper module. that should certainly be enough.
