Pretty durn good thread this one...
Yeah I can see slicing open the case. Adhering a nice copper radiator onto the plate heat sink. This is where the Arctic Silver would come in, certainly not for mounting the MOSFET. The slight capacitance would drive the gate nuts. Downloaded a wonderful piece on heat sinking material. Author complained the commercially available mica material was far too thick. Had to split it with an exacto knife. Then described a vastly superior but slightly poisonous beryllium substrate mounting paste. I became an OEM with Arctic Silver a few months ago, because of the work with LED lighting.
Now if I can only source some Cu heatsinks.
I am happy I am going to be re-charging that new group 31 Lifeline with a pair of the CHEAPOWATTS. And I hope Mena finds better hestsinking in his MegaWatt. Glad now I decided to use that large piece of 16 gauge for the Shottkey pair.
