I like the hard mount the ones like a cpu mount , you can swap COB's easy peasy sell the old tech add new COBs
did ya see the mars hack ?

ya got a p/n ? I got the cree pdf CBX chart I don't understand which one you refer to I've yet to watch that GG vid so bare with me
I got post concussive syndrome , math is out but can do a recipe & can hack all day long in my garage
I stumbled on the DIY COB's about 3 months ago. I am very interested as well. What I was reading seemed like the people with electrical engineering backgrounds. My electrical experience is only hooking up car amps |:
Water Cooling would work great in a grow room.
Wish I thought of using water cooling before I bought the heatsink / fan combos.
You could use a water barrel and a 12 or 24v magnetic pump to cycle water threw a line of CPU waterblocks.

After this full spectrum build I am going to buy a 3590 with a purpose made reflector for $80 CA online , then water cool it with one of those stand alone waterblock pump radiator combos.
They can be had for $50 $60 bucks online and come complete , perfect for single builds being they are portable.
A standard CPU water block can be found for 20 bucks or less so its a fairly affordable route to go if you have a need to cool more then one of them.
The thing with water cooling is the Cobs could last 1000,000 hrs instead of 50,000 hrs ( I have read )
Water cooling is much more effective at cooling and will cool the Cobs much better.
The CPU Overclockers have proven its benefit
side note:
I think a water cooled cob would *also* look awesome !
I got a bunch of new old stock PC water cool radiators 4 fan 3 fan & 2 fanWater Cooling would work great in a grow room.

For water cooling all one needs are the cpu waterblocks poly tubing a garbage can /water barrel and a 12 / 24v or 110v pump on a speed controller to fine tune the water flow. You do not even need the speed control its a luxury.
Keeping it simple is not only cheaper it makes for fewer failure points.
Note if you see the graph in the above link, the LED would have to maintain a standard 45c - 70c to have a +100,000hr life span. Thats a great deal of thermal management.
There are vids on youtube by two guys in particular, very smart on the diy set ups. I switched to diy cobs about 8 months ago and I will tell you with out a doubt, they cree cobs are the way to go. I have 4 fixtures, 16 cxb3070, 4 hlg 185 1400 drivers with individual heatsink/fan combos. My best run, dwc, one plant....887 grams....21 grams short of 2 pounds. I run 1/2 the electricity, 1/2 the ac to cool my tents and they will bury a 1000w hps. Do t use the cxa, they take 42 watts to fire up, the cxb is only 36 so you can run 4 cxb on a 185 and only 3 cxa. Also, do t use jb weld, you will blow the cob right off your heat sink.
done this before with a dual CPU PC mobo , Over clocked
Using a import car radiator (with antifreeze) and a 12v rad fan as the main rad to cool a line of waterblocks would work for those without the cold water storage.
