    Had mine on top of my boards for a week or so. Soon whipped em off and got em outside the tent. They will be going back in for winter tho, might as well use that free heat

    Since I'm working with a fridge I didn't want to screw the driver directly against the insulated wall and was lucky to have a nice thick heat sink laying around so I put that between the driver and fridge wall, right under my extraction filter as well and now it barely even heats up.
    My circulation fan is hanging half above my board blowing half the air down to my plants and the other half over the board so that adds some cooling as well and brings some of the heat down to my plants.
    This was a good thing in winter but now that temps are picking up it is starting to work against me.

    Yeah,mine was pre-built with the driver on the heatsink, now have it hanging just above the QB on some ratchet hangers with a fan blowing at both and now run much cooler.
