High MB temps? Cool your MOSFET`s and SFF R60 chokes

[ArcticOC]

I have the ramsinks in the pics below and was wondering if i could put them on the chokes that are outlined in orange on my a8n32.

No problem, but your asus have no need for this mod as it`s 8 phaze layout on the board

do you even need to?

do they get hot?

They get warm to touch and I am tring to squeeze every last bit of performance out of this setup. I thought the cooler the better. right?

I say it like this.. I doesnt exactly hurt the perfomance if you doo the mod

im actually plannin a buncha mods like this. finally found the microcool mini sinks to sink ALL chokes, the pwm area and the various IC's that get hot (also directed by the thermal images of the sli-d boards)

good work there man, now im just trying to find a VERY cool chipset solution that will allow my big vid cards to work installed in SLi

How does this qualify?





After seeing this thread, the chokes will get it too!

[WeStSiDePLaYa]

do chokes even create heat? you sure they arent being heated by surrounding components? in which case adding hs's to them would heat them up moreso.

[STEvil]

yes, they do.

Just got my mobo back from RMA so it's getting set up for phase and I decided I'd put some heatsinks on the hotspots from the thermal images on bigbruin. Here's the result:



Anywhere else I should sink?

nice

I'm going to do the same next time my mobo is out my case..

also, nice IHS
