So it hit me that having these braided solder wick wires live all the way to the water cooled pipe distal attachment point is not necessary. And could cause some EMI or noise related issues that is avoidable if I do the following: I can simply cut them off 1/2" from the mosfet, stick thermal tape on one face of the cut off stubs, then stick the rest of the braided solder wick wire run against that thermal tape, then wrap this joint tightly with electrical tape. Finally we then electrically insulate the braided solder wick that is live but leave the braided solder wick section that is now no longer live completely exposed on the duration of its 3"-4" long run from near the mosfet to the water cooled pipe. This way we have electrical isolation near to the mosfet, no antenna effect, no need for window screens now, and no live wires hanging out that aren't properly insulated. Thermal conductivity is reduced negligibly with this solution. This should be trivial to implement as well. It's the perfect solution here and very fast to implement. It may even be slightly less work than dealing with window screens would have been.
