Old CPU-cooler as an LM3886 heat-sink

You're welcome. I personally love to recycle stuff that other people would just throw away, for a variety of reasons.

Yep, it's same with me!

what are those big brown stuff ? is that the transformer? if so, it looks like it´s from the XIX century

Oh, that was rude!



Well, it is PT. I have bought it maybe 20 years ago and it was some discount sellout IIRC, so it may be much much older - or maybe not: it was probably made here in communistic era yet and our factories did use pretty old technologies those days, so it may look older than it actually is.

However, I did store it in good conditions and it works like a charm so far, we'll see I was happy to give it some use finally, hopefully it won't trip me up
