Well I have a couple of questions so,
1: when installing Windows 7 on to my SSD can I take the sata cable out of my HDD and then put it back in when windows has installed on to my SSD?

2: I have the MSI 970A-G43 motherboard and I didn't realise at the time I purchased it that there was no heatsink on the mosfets, does anyone know where to get one? The dimensions are, total length 14cm (140mm) width 1cm (10mm) each individual size of then mosfets 0.5cm (5mm)

Edit: will a corsair semi modular 750w be enough for this build (this is my first ever build)
Motherboard: MSI 970A-G43
CPU: AMD FX6300 Black edition hex core 3.50Ghz
HDD: Western digital 1TB 7200RPM
SSD: Kingston 120GB
DVD drive: Asus e-green
RAM: 8GB Corsair Vengeance 1600Mhz
Graphics card: 2 x R7 265 2GB DDR5 crossfire
Thanks for any help :)

Don't RMA the board. MSI has not made heat sinks on the MOSFETS available...


Hi. AS for question #1 That is the accepted way to do it. ON #2, if you don't have Heat sinks where you are supposed to have heatsinks, then you need to RMA the board.

Don't RMA the board. MSI has not made heat sinks on the MOSFETS available for this board. You can go onto Newegg or your preferred computer shopping website and buy cooling for the MOSFETS. I've used these a few times http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835708011&cm_re=mosfet_heatsinks-_-35-708-011-_-Product
I like to apply them with thermal paste instead of the thermal pads that come with them, but whatever you prefer will suffice.
