Passive MOSFET sinks?

[Bungral]

I have a PN5-E Sli mobo and the chipset gets pretty hot on this board from what I can tell..

As its far from a top of the range board, I don't want to spend too much on fancy cooling but I do want to chill it out a little. I'm after some options on some passive MOSFET sinks and where to buy them?

I've had a little look around and found some but couldn't come to any conclusion as to if any are good.

Wouldn't bother tbh mate. there's only 3 of them.

If you really want too look for the stick on swiftc ones.

So if there are only 3 of them, wouldn't 8 be a lil excessive?

The stick on ones are all i'm looking for tbh.

Saw the review on the MicroCool ones and found a place that sells them but the copper has to be better.

Where are the 3 chips?

Thats them

Guessed as much but wanted to be sure.

So it would take more than 3 of the stick ons looking at the layout.

I need to buy a few things from Specialtech actually but haven't heard anything back since I PM'd last night about the P&P offer.

Oh yeah and seeing as you've been so helpful... Your opinion: HR-05 or NC-U6

 

[Ham]

Imo the NC-U6 as its copper, not aluminium. But either would do tbh.

Don't bother. I took the original heatpipe assembly off my P5B Deluxe which iirc has one of the hottest running PWM area's around, and it's fine. I even ran it with a quad, unsinked. They're meant to take temps upwards of 80ºC.
