I have picked up the following boards
I would expect the one running at a lower % would get less hot given they are both 15W, but only the 5v one has a heat sync
the 12v board has a STPS20S100CT with no heat sync and the 5v has a STPS30S45CT (assuming it starts with ST, there is a cap in the way) with a heat sync
If anyone is curious both boards have a mix of United Chemi-Con and Rubycon caps:
I am trying to deiced which board should get the more favorable position (top) for cooling, probably does not matter, but you know what lets over optimize cause we can

- KMG 33uf 400v cap X 1
- YXM cap 10uf 50 X 1
- ZLH 16v 1000uf X 2 (5v board only)
- KY 25v 1000uf X 2 (12v board only)
