What should I cool?

[1xmattx1]

Should I add aftermarket heatsinks to the area below in the red circle? most motherboard i see have heatsinks already there but mine did not come with anyone. and I'm thinking not having those cooled is stopping my oc at 3.8..
Now my question is, would these heatsinks work? if so what would I attach them too? the things that say 1R1 or the little things next to them?

Did you check their size against the distance between the caps? If they'll fit between the caps and still cover most of the components then you're good ...

so your saying i need to place the heatsinks on the chips between the things that say 1R1?

If those 1R1 things are the coils (kinda' hard to see from above, but if they're kinda' tall they're coils) then you don't need to cool those, just the micro-chips ...

Cooling the Mosfets(those 3 leged chips) , will not improve your overclocks, it may increase the life of your board, small copper heatsinks are a pita.Better solution would be just to aim a fan in the area.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835708011 these are the heatsinks for individual mosfets.

Hmmm, I have to differ with that opinion. Cooling the MOSFETs can provide cleaner power (not as much fluctuation), which does mean a higher stable OC for a given vCore ...

Am sorry , but no that is a big myth , there is no facts to back it up.It will not provide cleaner power, mosfet chips are rated for 100c and above and they must function at that temperature...

OK, you clock your CPU up just as high as it will go - I mean really push the limits - then take the MOSFET coolers off and see if it'll still run the same. It's a simple experiment and won't take a lot of time to do ...

I can't remember where I saw them, but I was on a discussion somewhere and people were discussing this very thing. There are heatsinks available that will fit right on top of the VRMs and they come with some sort of sticky tape. Just found some here...

I also believe there is type 2, etc. Look around.
