P4P800 - MOSFET Heatsinks - which FETs to sink?

somegeek · Mar 9, 2005

Looking around my P4P800 I see (11) MOSFETs. 6 are directly behind the CPU by some caps - are those the FETs to sink? I also see one that is opposite those between the CPU and the memory... the rest are scattered about.

You could place your fingertip on them and see which ones get hot

why not sink em all?

Sink the agp mosfet, the ones around cpu, and the ones areound memory.

the finger test is a good idea (although I know from personal experience that holding it on there for too long is painful) Also the hottest ones tend to be around the cpu in my experience.

theres a ton on this board... at LEAST 6 around the cpu, and 11 in total (least)... they are all scattered too, like 2 here, 1 there, 5 there... its confusing =P
