Working on warp speed's simplified hot water circuit I found a need for a cheap heat sink.

The one on the right cost $12 US on Amazon. I think I'm gonna need a robust heat sink please help if you can

So I will try it without the fan with
Will have 2 2" holes for natural ventilation on  (1 at the bottom the other towards the top cut in the back )
This is designed to fit in a 12x12x4" screw lid junction box
It weights in 1 1/2 lbs.68 kilograms
The vents will be 2" reptile vents (screen covered)
Will use curved parts of pizza pan to direct airflow
All I got for now
KindRegards
Steve

I would like to see the Mosfets centered on the heatsinks to make better use of conduction of heat but I like the junction box idea , I use them for outdoor combiner boxes
