I have a GTX670 FTW blower cooler with a pretty serious overclock of +150 core and +500 mem.
During gaming it runs at 65c and benchmarking it runs at 75c and i have to run it on agressive so its stupid loud.
Im buying little MOSFET heatsinks for my motherboard to cool it for more overclock stability.
I wondering if i should get VRM and MOFSET heatsinks for my gpu aswell becayse ive read that the vrm and mosfet heatsinks cool the gpu between 5-15C

Case cooling:
2 side intake 120mm Arctic Cooling
1 front intake 120mm Arctic Cooling
1 rear exhaust 120mm Arctic Cooling

QX9650 on CM TX3 with Arctic Cooling 90mm Push/Pull

Misc:
Arctic MX-4 thermal paste on GPU ane CPU
Arctic Alumina for mini heatsinks
NZXT fan controller

Gotcha ya in that case then they expected the airflow would be enough to keep it cool (usually is). You can try but I doubt there will be enough room between them and the heatsink/cooling fins. That said I just checked online and it seems the 670 blowers weren't that great so if they do fit it may not be a bad idea.

vrm/mosfet heat sinks are for when you use an aftermarket universal water block or universal air coolers. The heatsink on your card will already the vrm's and mosfet's attached to it.

Although it sounds like you took your card apart once already. Did you make sure to put the thermal pads back?

My google searches returned two different 670 FTW cards (one using the stock Nvidia cooler and the later version using proprietary EVGA cooler) but I don't think you can install VRM heatsinks on any of them.
