Alright. Heatsinks.

In the end, these are the ones we're getting for the thumbs. All the thumbs will come with these.

As for the 8 boards, considering a few options. One is two have two of these guys on the back like so. These are pretty great but they are quite expensive, will come in at $17 for the pair.

Another pretty good looking option is these guys. Will be cheaper and probably pretty good, though we don't know thermal details. This will be $10

Let me know your thoughts on these. We will need to order them very soon. Will probably be easier if we just get a bunch of the same ones, so perhaps the cheaper ones will be more universally appealing, though i guess two options is an option. Can i get a show or hands?

What is the height on those black heatsinks? will they allow enough clearance between two boards in the miniplane? and how much clearance does the silver one allow for?

That was my first thought. In the mini plane you have very little clearance between boards. I thought Barntech said a fraction of an inch?
Anyway, the looks aren't first to me. The Fury chips work fine with heat (and perhaps even better if not running too cool - I heard that somewhere) so we probably don't need the most optimal heat sinks, just something aluminum. (Like that last one).
