I bought a mofset water block, the screw pattern is right but it is to wide, I want to use this as a spacer and raise it above the capacitors that are in the way, 3 ft is a waist when I only need 80mm.

I was looking for something similar a while back too bud. Needless to say I couldn't find it in smaller pieces anywhere so I gave up. could you raising the cooler up may affect the performance of the cooler I'm pretty sure. Could you possibly trim down the copper on the existing block to fit correctly or what? A picture would be a great help as well.

Sorry no pics of the problem, I put the evga heat sink back on and let it run again, It's a folder. The evga cooler is about the width of the mofsets , about 7mm.Cutting the water block, not an option in my option, just to much to cut off. And I have the same thermal questions, but kind of figured that with a good job of lapping the 2 contact side of the spacer it would not be an issue.

I would just skip the cooling for the MOSFET at that pooint.

I want to, but when the ambient room temp hits about 77f, the mofset is at about 70c.

Most mosfets are rated at about 100C if memory serves me right. At least on a good board. Is that under load? Like prime 95?

Ahh I see, well I don't think lapping would help much. a decent coat of thermal paste would be good enough. Again though I just feel like the copper would be too thick to be effective, you may have to shop around for a new mosfet block bud.

I will try this way first, if it doesn't work out, I may try and make one myself.

Iv'e been pondering making my own block as well for a while now, but lack the time. Please post the results if you can, I'd love to see if it works.
