    Insulation Help/ Question!

    So i'm about to start my first DICE run. Got all the materials ready. But i have one question. I have the DFI Lanparty UT X58-T3eH8 board and it digital pwms instead of caps. Is it safe to insulate them? Like will they overheat? My research tells me both ways.. i'm totally clueless now.



    pic of the digital pwms if you don't know what i'm talking about.

    You're OK - cooling is not confined to the CPU, it will radiate away from the socket a few inches and keep things cool.
