No strips on my rig guys. Only 4 far red pucks from Rapid Led, but they are aluminium heatsink mounted leds that is sufficient to cool them on its own. I've only zip tied them to my water cooled rig so I wouldn't have to make a separate mounts.

Best cooling idea was shown by @Nofucksgiven (< if I remember correctly the nicknane). He mounted led on copper plate , mounted copper pipe to the back and connected hose to the pipe. This kind of fixture would be relatively light but I couldn't get copper plates/sheets cheap enough.

I never used the stripps before but as @Randomblame said before, I don't thing water cooling them is really needed.
The best cooling solution puts the maximum amount of water as close to the chip as possible. That's why I specified square section aluminum, because of this very fact.

How did you manifold all the tubes together?
Me?

The square section blocks were the frame that the chips and drivers were mounted on. The ends were sealed and drilled for a standard irrigation fitting. Hose and clamps did the rest.

My build will be TIG welded, all 1/2" square tube. If I water cool the verticals, they will connect to the manifold tubes with hose.
I received the square tube yesterday, nice square corners, no radius.
