i'm on a roll... the kgsshv
the 500v version only needs to change the ccs devices at the output stage iirc, 450 can use the 1968

I have grease but the keratherm conductivity is an order of magnitude higher. Less mess too but I guess that's a secondary concern

What are you guys using for interfacing the brackets? Was looking at Keratherm red but it's almost 100 USD for enough sheets

the dht is direct coupled? I thought you said it'd be similar to the megatron, or was that only applicable to the output stage?

I was able to get it out cleanly by slowly rocking it out of place by heating and reheating the joints.

left is 450v 220u, right is 450v 100u. inu posted some pictures for counterfeit caps, where the negative strip is misaligned. should I throw out the 220u? I soldered a bunch of them to my psu already...

I thought that's what the 009 did under the hood hopefully only 1k or so for a pair, somewhere between the 507 and omega

thanks for suggestions is there a standard way of attaching terminals for the single spots, like the vcc spots, etc? wondering if there's an alternative to directly soldering wires to the board
