Hello community
I recently purchased the M5A97 LE R2.0 for my own custom gaming pc. The board itself is ok, but when I purchased it I didn't do my research into the fact that it does not actually have vrm heatsinks installed. I threw away the box (yes I know very stupid of me) so I cannot refund it and get the non LE edition.I currently have a cooler master 212 evo installed but with that I only get 31 degrees celcius on idle, I would like to lower that. Which VRM heatsinks should I buy and how do I install them? I am using an fx-8350 at clock speeds, by the way.

If I had known that earlier I would have gone with a different board, unfortunately many people online told me that this would be a great board for fx-8350... I can't return this board so I'm stuck with it. So I was just wondering if it is possible to install aftermarket VRM heatsinks to lower the temps, i recognize 31 degrees is perfectly safe but I would like to go lower if possible.

Would you advise even against a small overclock on this board, if I was to buy copper heatsinks to cover up the VRM/mosfets? Do you happen to know around what clock speed the 4 pin power fails to supply power to an oc'd 8350?
