Title: X79 UD5 Mofset (I think) Question
Post by: mikeyjames on July 31, 2012, 06:10:02 am
Hi,
Currently running 3930 @ 4.5Ghz at 1.36v

after 1 hour latest version prime 95 CPU 77c and other temps look fine according to sensors.

I have one question regarding this pictures(http://www.members.optusnet.com.au/mikeyjames2/mofset.jpg)

The twelve square blocks in from of the blue heatsink - what are they. Ran a temp guage after 2 hrs prime 95 and they were over 100c

I've added a fan pointed directly at them which has dropped it to about 95c.

What are these components? Should I heatsink them? Are they conductive? I mean can I just run one heatsink straight across or do I need 12 small individual ones.

Any help much appreciated


Thanks


Mick
