The Megas need without.doubt better heatsinks plastered onto the outside opposite the power transistors. Go to GOGGLE and query to247 heatsinks. One side has to be flat or have fin edges easy to remove with a flat file. Perfectly flat to plaster against the side of the case.
Not to worry. Arctic Silver or ceramic adhesive will glue the heatsinks right to the case. I am using four heatsinks per side then blowing air over the heatsinks with a fan. Don"t hide the cover's screws when gluing heatsinks on. Both the added fins and the fan air will suck a lot of heat away from those transistors. I chose a 120 mm fan to blow air from the rear. The BORG has 2 Megas. For a reason.
