Please do take note that the original thermal pad for the mosfets heatsink, you need to used back the original thermal tape which is thick, sticky and spongy. The reason for being thick is for the resistors.Originally Posted by Sparda
If anybody wonder about an aftermarket cooler for the mosfet. The old thermalright HR02-U//S that fit maximus and rampage formula and EK asus 3a backplate also fit this board.(Note that on thermalright website only the I/O mosfet fit)
Forced me to use it since I have some clearance problem with heatsink and the stock jigabyte cooler. The blue color look cool though. :P
Reason : the resistors are much higher than the mosfets, I did tried and used 3M thermal tape which is thin but unable to get it stick. Luckily, using a magniflying glass to check and comfirmed the height of the resistor is way higher than the mosfets.
Solution : if you want to used 3M thin thermal tape, drill holes into the mosfet heatsink where the resistors come into contacts. In order for it to stick firmly without electrical shock.
