Hi Bjn,

I have not thought about that before. I am working on another design and found out that the heat sink has to contact the back, metal side of the mosfets and diodes. They are designed for 90% of the heat to be transferred through the back.

I will probably just bend the mosfets up so that they are vertical and attach them to the side of the water block. This will work well, but the water will have to run continuously because there is no additional cooling.
