Hello nice people of toms hardware,
My cpu has been throttling for a while now , after doing a bit of research , i concluded its either faulty bios\mobo. or vrm overheating [most likely since it has no heatsinks].

I wondered whats your solution \ recommendations.

i tought of getting these http://www.ebay.com/itm/20PCS-Lot-Aluminum-MOS-Mini-IC-Chipset-Cooling-Cooler-Heat-Sink-Heatsinks-/251233475838?pt=US_Memory_Chipset_Cooling&hash=item3a7eae9cfe

and some thermal tape \ glu \ just use my existing MX2 and let it somewhat of do the gluing job.

the thing is , that doesn't really look like it can cool something .

whats your opinion?
got other ideas?

thanks.

almost forgot, this is the mobo http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4726#ov
cpu is amd athlon 750k

can you link me the coolers?
i searched on ebay but i couldn't find any.
as for the bios update, i have updated it twice, i noticed during load my case gets petty hot so i assume the vrm's are overheating.
