So, I bought some of these off ebay:
www.ebay.com.au/itm/14095684358093 cents each, how could you go wrong!
And promptly modified them to do 12volts from the 3.3volt output, and 5volts from the 1.2volt output, with a 19volt input.
So the 12volt output has a 8.2uH inductor, and the 5volt has a 3.3uH.
I've got a 1000uf capacitor on the output of the 12volt supply, and 2200uf on the 5volt, with 1000uf on the 19volt input.
Bench tested it at about 3amps on the 5volt rail, and 2amps on the 12volt... The device I plan to use this in needs about 2amps constant on the 5volt rail, and barely 200ma at 12volt.
But it did the 3a/2a happily, regulators weren't too hot...
However, I wasn't paying much attention to the inductor(s), and now its in the device, I've discovered that these are the source of the heat....
Is this simply because the values are wrong for the current and voltage I'm needing? I drew a diagram, but it doesn't show much, its basically as per this:

And here's a high res pic, thanks to someone else
