I was feeling confused. Just wanted to be sure that both of you are saying the same thing. Anyway I've received my HW80A. LOL this thing looks like it needs to go on a diet. Seriously something is wrong with the engineers at HW. What were they thinking of when they designed the heatsink/fan? Do u really need 4 M6 screws (total 10g) to hold a 20g fan to a heatsink?
The actual weight of the esc (with all the stock wiring) is 178g.
And what is the white stuff that is sandwiched between the heatsink and the heatspreaders? It is sort of jelly like and doesn't seem to conduct heat very well. It doesn't feel cool to the touch as well. And there is some distance between the heatsink and the heatspreader. They dun actually touch at all. The heat transfer may not be very efficient in this matter.
The white layer din't come into contact with 2 rows of heatspreaders. I had to change the orientation of the layer so that it touches most of the heatspreaders. Can anyone explain what is the white stuff? Is it some kind of thermal pad? Is it safe for the heatspreaders to be eletrically connected? I mean can I place the heatsink directly onto the heatspreaders without the white layer (thermal past will be used in place of that)? Some modding will be neede though if i were to do this.
