Heat over time matters, but the thermal runaway scenario I referenced is the most common failure mechanism I know of in small electronics. It's just something that they do. It's not a matter of if, but when.
More important than cooling is the voltage rails. Reliable PSUs that don't overvolt the load under any scenario are important.
- bullen 5y agoAh, crap! I'm relying on PicoPSUs for this build, thx for the heads up! Will use Mean Well from 220V -> 12V... but after that it's PicoPSUs! (160/180/200W I will try many to see how their 3.3/5/12 look, I think this drive uses 5V but how can I find out? also measuring voltages on a live circuit has burned me before how do you make sure not to short/fry stuff?!)
