Okay, but don't forget that the limiter is heat in the main regulator. Depending on heat, it could cut off at 15A or so, which is only about 6W per chip.

Also, that's a lot of finagling. I'd say once you're taking stuff apart it becomes "roast at your own risk".

I hear you ;-) I was thinking of adding a side-sink just to cool the regulator area. It will be an afterthought though as I am dealing with the main 8 chips first, I can add-in on the side for the regulator. It would be nice if I could oil cool that section as well, but lot of hills and valleys to deal with. I have the cnc and a laser scanner I can use for 3D profiling, so maybe. The main parts are almost milled, one is done, but I just used a ball mill for now, doesn't have to be perfect and pretty for prototyping, just functional.

I didn't get a lot of setup instruction with these. I can use command line management to control many functions on the R808, but I didn't get anything on jumper settings or the pot function? Would you have that handy?

Cheers
