The MOSFETs on my MSI G41M-P33 are getting too hot and are causing my CPU to throttle. They reach about 65C and then it throttles until it lowers to 58C. This causes horrible FPS drops in all games. It isn't the CPU getting too hot because the temps are around 50-51C when it throttles. I did have a problem, though, with the CPU overheating and throttling when it reached 70C, but I bought a new cooler and it fixed the problem. I've tried lowering the voltages on the CPU and NB and also underclocking the CPU and it helped some (Dropped 2-3C) but I had to underclock a pretty good bit to get it down that far. I bought some Enzotech MOSFET heatsinks yesterday and I just need to make sure that I can locate all of the MOSFETs. Can someone encircle or just let me know where the mosfets are on this motherboard? I keep thinking they are the parts on the motherboard that have numbers printed on them (LR50, L1R1) but I feel like I'm wrong. Thanks!
