Add a heat sink to Q5 which is the mosfet controlling the heater bed or off load current using TriGorilla board

It seems like Q5 on the Mini Rambo could use a heat sink since that mosfet handles the largest load.

The location of the heat sink on mosfet Q5 would be under the label Fan1 and Fan2:

Would I be able to use this TriGorilla 3D Printer Heating Controller MKS MOSFET to offload current from the mini rambo?

Also, using the TriGorilla I should be able to add a 24V power supply to power the heater bed but could this cause any damage?

I'm not sure how I would wire in the green terminals but I think I would only need to use 2 of the 4 terminals based on the verbiage below.

Steps 4 and 5 seem to mean only use (Gnd and D8) or (the RAMPS mosfet +/- bed terminals) but do not hook up both (choose one signal group). Please let me know if that is the same interpretation you came up with.

Specification:
Usage :
1. Connect Power to power source, please note the anode and cathode
2. Connect Hotbed to heated wire , please note the anode and cathode
3. Connect digital control signal to Gnd ,D8
4. Connect the control signal of Ramps1.4 or MKS MOSFET to -Bed+
5. Choose one signal group to connect
Package included:
1 x MOS module
Product Features

Each one will be done functional test
Superior performance of MOSFET (Max 280A)
Extra large heat sink , the maximum current can be up to 30A or more
Can use hot bed output signal of Ramp1.4 and MKS series to control
Can use digital signal of 5-24v to control

All,

In looking at this again I think the 2 sets of inputs are basically a 5v trigger (GND, D8) and/or a 12v trigger ( Bed - / Bed +).

I will need to do more testing.

Hey, you tryed the Mosfet already?
