mbdblue Posted November 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 is that blob before or after the fix....? after, we added a little too much, but tried to fill the cold solder that was there.

Lbox88 Posted November 30, 2011 Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 Did you guys make sure to use that white paste/goop stuff on the MOSFETs when you put it back together and mounted it back to the heatsink? I know its expensive but can't for the life of me remember what its called. Quote UBL | Build Log Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mbdblue Posted November 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 yeah, the thermal paste....there was still a TON of it on the case itself.

Lbox88 Posted November 30, 2011 Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 (edited) Ok good. I tore apart a power acoustic that was insta-protect on power up and there was the bare minimum on that thing. Fixed it up put new paste on and let my buddy hook it up. Didn't watch cuz I thought he knew what he was doing and loaded one channel with 1 ohm. Smoked in less than 5 minutes.

STEvil Posted November 30, 2011 Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 is that blob before or after the fix....? after, we added a little too much, but tried to fill the cold solder that was there. Did you make sure it bonded to the board? As to thermal interface material, you can get it dirt cheap. Just use wheel bearing grease ; ) Oh, and for the record, more is not better. If you've got a poor surface to surface connection and no pressure then adding TIM between does nothing to help. Fix the problem otherwise the TIM is just a thermal insulator. Quote MickyMcD - "Capable of making some serious trouser flapping volumes at where's-my-testicles frequencies, the Servo-Drives used to be fairly jaw dropping..." Any time you have have a power wire next to your frame put some rubber hosing (or cut up an innertube) around it. The wire is bound to wiggle (due to driving or flex) and the casing will eventually wear through. Hammerdown... 1% no links to outside websites, business related FB/YT pages allowed.
