Buying MOSFET cooling NEED HELP

MusicRush · Dec 27, 2013

My mosfets are getting hot causing my fps to drop and cpu to throttle. My CPU cooler is a 212 evo which block airflow to my mosfets. My board is the ASUS m5a97 LE r2.0 which has no heatsinks. Will these work just fine for cooling? http://www.moddiy.com/products/Passive-Heatsink-MOSFET-Chipsink-9mm-%252d-Blue.html

best solution you could go for

good copper heatsinks pricy i know

and good thermal solution glue word of warning sets in about 2 minutes once you mix so be quick

id apply the mixture to the copper heatsinks themselves thin layer is all you need

I was think about the enzotech, but I may just get rid of the 212 evo and get a corsair h60 and a 120mm fan for better airflow. Would that keep it cool enough?

well there is another way which would probly be more effective then a h60

better fan

use the additional fan you get with the cooler to add to your cases airflow

reasons for doing it this way your pushing air on to the whole area round the socket so basicly blasting the motherboard with case air this should keep the mosfets cool as well.

note this can be double effective with the copperheatsinks and paste if you choose to buy them as well

this cooler is also shorter then your old cooler pick of what it looks like attached to a board with just the 120mm add a 140mm and it will cool the whole board easily

I could do that, but the h60 is on sale for 50$ right now where I am at. Plus its liquid cooling so, hard decision

h60 really wont do anything for mosfets and tend to be flawed by leaks as my friends had a nice puddle in his lol.

I know it won't do anything for mosfets but is a better cpu cooler and ill have better airflow now that the 212 evo is not hovering over my mosfets. I could always get the heatsinks as well.

true but if your radiator mounts on the rear of your case all it will do is hinder airflow as it blocks the rear fan completely off which in turn the heat cant escape out the case.

Im thinking of putting it on the bottom?

That may work but your better consulting your pc case and see if it supports water cooling sometimes the water radiators have to be in a certain place of the case due to tubes can be to short

Will do

also measure the dimentions particularly the width of the radiator etc and see if any mounting holes are at the bottom as this is essential as if the case were to get knocked over the block would slip and there be fluid everywhere
