Oh I didn’t think you were rude about it at all. It’s definitely the correct info to know 
You can run the boards bare but they have to be under 55 watts or 1.05 amps according to HLG.
Requires an Aluminum plate or heatsink if running 55+ watts or over 1050mA
If you need more juice, you’ll need something to use. The plywood was a quick cheap fix and I can run the boards up to 1.5amps without issues. No way I’d go over 2amps on these with wood. Very bad. Risk fire or burning out your boards. But under that it should be fine. Again, I’m only saying it if you need something in a pinch and can’t afford slate 2s or something else for a couple weeks, doing it this way would work.
I have since bought all new slate 2’s, and some 140mm fans so I can max my boards the correct way and that is definitely what I would recommend. Some type of aluminum heatsink. Hell I even use high-end thermal paste on my boards with the slate’s just to ensure longevity.
