I've got some 10W resistors that are dissipating close to their maximum power rating. Should I be heatsinking them? They're not the aluminium cased ones, they're the white ones that look a little bit like chalk...
Also, since I have to have an array of these resistors is it alright to pack them right alongside one another or do they need some space to "breath"?
