RE: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Heatsinks

You can also use Celeron heatsinks with fan.. The notches on the sides of
the Gecko line up perfectly. You do need to put a 1/8" plate between the
fan/heatsink combo and the Gecko, which is okay because you probably want
to mount them upside down. Basically, get a 2"x~10"x1/8" piece of
aluminum, mount the Geckos on one side and clamp the Celeron heatsink on
the other side, then put in two risers, one on either side..
