Hey everyone,

I'm building an 6x hopefully within the next month & I wanted to know something that will make a huge difference to my build.

Please write in a very short sentence which you think is the Host with the best heatsinking (including a custom heatsink made by someone on the board).

I want awesome heatsinking, I’ve got arctic silver on hand so each connection I have will have an arctic silver polish to keep certain areas as cool as possible.


Yours sincerely
Tom

I have not personally found thermal compound to be necessary, however a little could not hurt anything. As long as you use it sparingly, and not let it work it's way onto the diode...

The best heatsinks are the ones that have a direct press diode fit. IgorT has a new V3 heatsink design for his builds if you want one of the best.

But I have noticed that you have been making a lot of threads looking for really cheap deals. So just keep in mind that if you want the best, you must pay for it.

You can't have a champagne appetite, on a beer budget! :)

That's a sweet little kit... I'm sure you will like it.

It's addicting isn't it? Once you do a couple of successful builds, your hooked! :cool:
