    Even with the fan the thermal resistance is quite high with just the TO-3 package...

      Ugghhh... makers.
      So bad, instead of screaming "good grief," C.B. can only facepalm.

          Well, technically speaking, wood does have better thermal conduction than air.

          As to how much difference this will make instead of running the transistor just in open-air is a whole another topic.

          Oh, and hope that's a genuine 3055 BJT and not a cheapo knockoff China one with a fractional die area.

              Metod for removing glued heatsink from fragile component
              by harp
              I have peltir element glued to heatsink with something thick and sticky like putty... it cant be separate with force or heat without risk of breaking ceramic or damaged semiconductor layers due to force (eg if try twisted, pulled, lifted)... method that I am using is a single thread for needle (thin and firm thread of pure polyester that cant break with bare hands without glowes), and using it like a saw between heatsink and peltir. I holding a heatsink with knee against table. It slowly cut throug putty and release glued parts. It is slow proces, but preserve undamaged component and heatsink....

              Seeking Advice on Enhancing Heatsink for Main Processor on SAMSUNG TV Motherboard
              by Ven
              Hello everyone,

              I'm looking to upgrade the heatsink on the main processor of my TV's motherboard for better cooling performance.

              The current heatsink is a square-shaped one (2.8cm x 2.8cn) with a basic design, and I believe a more efficient heatsink could help with thermal management and potentially extend the life of the TV.

              I'd appreciate any advice on the best type of heatsink to use, specific product recommendations, and tips for installation.

              If you've done a similar upgrade, I'd love to hear about your experience and any challenges you...

              Fixed a Velodyne DPS-12 Subwoofer. Thermal Management + Heatsink Grounding Question
              by nobbnobb1
              Hello,

              I have a Velodyne DPS-12 subwoofer that was making weird noises. Upon taking it apart, I noticed there was yellow glue all over the circuit board which had turned brown, so I scraped it all off and that fixed the problem. I used hot glue instead around the various components.

              There was also one bulging capacitor, and another that must've been in a really hot location because the labelling looked like it was scorched. You can see in the picture the circuit board has discolored over time from this heat. Could either be from the MOSFET (with heatsink), or the resistor....
