It will be really hard to find a single boost converter with enough amp capability for what you want. The better idea is to use several boost converters and connect one to each LED.
Several smaller boost converters would also be more reliable since if one fails you still have the rest that would work.
when I look in detail these 2 products, I think only the 1st one is capable of constant current (mandatory to drive LEDs), I can see 2 potentiometers to adjust output voltage and current.
The second one has only 1 potentiemeter to adjust output voltage.
Yes, that first converter appears to have the correct specs and should work, although I have no experience with them. I would mount it to a heat sink of some sort as it looks like it will get hot with high outputs.
Other then that though, it should work well based on the specs.
It should work great, just make sure you get a 5V fan and install it somewhere blowing over the board along with exhaust holes as well. You can tap the fan into the existing fan output.
It controls the fan, which is why I like to tap into it. It only kicks it on when it gets hot or when outputting above ~6 amps. It also appears to be PWM as it blows harder the hotter it gets.

I imagine you could run a duct to the existing fan if you don’t want to add a separate fan. Just a tube going from the fan to the opposing side with vent holes to let the air get pushed out/drawn in.
You could but the existing fan is undersized for extended periods at high amps IMHO. The Shunts could also use some cooling as well which the stock fan does not do.
Now electronics can work fine at higher temps, I just don’t like them to be hotter then needed.
This is really cool, way past well enough done for the job. I'll just point out though that there is something called acrylic glue. It's rated for something like 2000 lbs per square inch too if used well. Not to criticize. Mine will look worse. I'll probably end up taping it to a shoe box and leaving it that way for 10 years.
Yeah, I knew there was glue for the job and I actually really wanted to make it screw together but I was in a hurry and didn’t feel like waiting for special glue lol.
No to mention that the hot glue is removable if I really wanted to and since I was not sure at the time how it would work in this, I wanted to be able to take it back apart if needed.
