Anyone have that picture that shows where the "hotspots" are for mosfets?

AudiMan · 09-18-04, 11:59 PM

I need some better cooling for my mobo and want to know how many mosfets to get and where to put them. I saw a picture that had the hot spots circled in red and I'm trying to find it agian.

Thanks.

Mostly all the fets on the board are the hot spots. Especially the fets for the Vagp/Ram/CPU gets generally hot. I got them all sinked with OCZ Copper BGA ramsinks. After about 30min of gaming, the sinks get scorchingly hot....

I left one mosfet unsinked, which is one near the pci. I couldnt fit the BGA sinked in there........

Vflux, could I see a pic of what you did? I've never heard of putting anything on the mosfets, so I'm curios as to how it looks/how it's done. Thanks

Nice mod(s) but the pictures have a HUGE glare, can bearly see. Did you use 1 OCZ HS on every 2 mosfets? That's pretty cool, I might try that. Gj!

1 OCZ per 2 fets and some have just 1....I used up a total of 8 OCZ sinks and some extra vantec copper ones for the PLL/Gigabit lan

....All the chips that i know off that generates heat are sinked.....

There arent any chip on my board that arent sinked atm.....

My apology for thread jacking Audiman. Hopefully this is the answer you've been looking for.....
