Thanks VR, the main plate and sides are 1/4", the fins are 1/8". With both fans on high on each heat sink there are completely cool to the touch.

Just an update on the affectivenes of the heat sinks. I checked the temp of the HS with my infra red temp gun this morning & it was 80 degrees F. After all the LED's where at there max setting I have them programmed for about an hour the HS is at 85 degrees F.

I am very happy I didnt spend the $100+ for the Loc-tite Alumafix because in the end I didn't need it. I have all 4 fans running on high, all blues @ 100%, XPG's @ 100%, CW / NW HEWS 50% & reds / greens @ 10% at 1:00 pm.

Is your led light dimmable? If it is how? I just bought two led light fixtures with 4 plugs and I like to dim it down, but don't know how.

All dimmable!! They are completely controlled with my Profilux 2ex controller. The drivers are dimmable & the EVG boards are what makes the 2 communicate.
