Hi there I just thought of a nice use for an old computer powersupply (at/atx) and a pair of tin-snips

makes a nice heatsink.

kind of looks like the the others in the case I think

Nice work.

no it's not superglue

Some heat conductive glue (epoxy)
by the way I have been running the setup for the past 2 hours (lid on)

and I must say above the chip, if you hold your finger there it is only "luke" warm if I can call it that

so I think it is a success
