I understand that may people that overclock (especially the NF7 users) cool their mosfets to keep their voltage steady. but what i dont understand is why adding heatsinks is a necessity. Ive seen people attach ramsinks cpu, heatsinks, and even water blocks to cool their mosfets.
how is this method effective in cooling the mosfets. a piece of metal (being the heatsink) bonded to the plastic mosfets cool them? if it was like a core where they're both a type of metal i can understand but how can heat be transfered from pastic to metal.
what made me confused about cooling the mosfets was when i see people putting tiny heatsinks such as these on them and its supposed to drop the temp and allow it to give a steady flow of voltage. Im just a little reluctant to believe how this works.
anyway im not trying to say thats its all garbage and it doesnt make any sence or anything, im even planning on doing it as well. I just want to know if this is really working.
