Aw, Philip. And there was me thinking that the vet had finally gotten your
meds just about right ... !
Never mind. We all know that it is actually you who is the fucking pig
ignorant moron, not just for what an offensive twat you are, but also
because despite knowing everything there could ever be to know, you have
actually, apparently, learnt nothing in your half arsed life. Sad ...

While I would have to agree with Phil's earlier statement that it
would be ideal to simply screw the diodes into threaded holes on the
heat sink, they are electrically in series, so that is not possible.
The heat sink is also mounted through the extra aluminum I've
subsequently added directly to the chassis, which of course is
building ground. So that would be another disaster. I liked the fan
idea, however sadly there is no room for it, not even a small CPU
cooler type. And while I would admit that this is not a "green" power
supply, once this heat issue is resolved it should be a reliable one.
In the interim I did take another look at my mounting arrangement
though and it appears that I may have used two plastic washers on the
one side of the diodes where I should have used mica. What sort of
brain fart spurned that idea I'll probably never know, but that might
be my problem. I may be attempting to transmit heat through plastic.
Duh? Anyway, If so it's apparently working, to some degree, but
obviously not enough degrees. I'll check this out tomorrow and update
this thread. Thank you for the link to the mounting kits Arfa, and to
everyone else for your input. Lenny
