I have currently have an i5 2500k with an ASrock z68 extreme4 which I run at 4.4 Mhz but i'm changing to a micro atx case, so i need a micro atx z77 motherboard to fit in it.
I want to be able to run the CPU at the same overclock so I know I'll need mosfet cooling, so I'm wondering whether to go for a more expensive board with heatsinks attached or a cheaper one and attach some myself. Here are the two options:

http://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/Z77M/?cat=Specifications
and the mosfet heatsinks:

I would go with the cheaper option if I could be sure that attaching these heatsinks would provide enough cooling to overclock the CPU to 4.4 Ghz but i'm just not sure how effective custom heatsinks will be compared to stock heatsinks.
So I suppose if anybody has any knowledge or experience of this I'd appreciate any advice or help. Thanks.
