For what are those heatsinks on BloodRage?

[Mescalamba]

I found small bag with small heatsinks with my BloodRage.. question is, for what are they? Just curious.

I'm kind of curious myself. Didn't think there were any obvious hotspots on the board that hadn't been sinked already. There are a couple of bare regulators in some spots, but they don't seem to get more than a little warm on my board?

[zanzabar]

they are for the pwm inductors or controllers or whatever those are called

You can also use them for your RAM ( if they come naked ) or your graphics card memory if you're using a waterblock on the GPU ( VGA )

I got reply from master Saaya:

"hey man,
well i asked foxconn to include those heatsinks so you can glue them onto any chips you want to cool on the board. the sas chip for example gets a bit hot, and so does the pata/esata jmicron chip.

they are fine for normal operation, even in a badly ventilated case, but i personally would like to add heatsinks to it to cool them and i know many people would."

Now we know!
