toasty mosfets

[breadturbo]

(at least i think they are)
the black things under copper heatsink left and above the cpu socket (p5q) get veeery hot during operation im guessing due to lots of extra voltage

couple of questions if i may

1. are the EK mosfet watercooling blocks any good and are they worth it?
2. whats the best NB and SB cooling blocks?

going to add this into my car raid system on a seperate pump loop in same res
then possibly follow it up with watercooling the two gfx cards in another


cheers muchly

I'm running EK blocks on my P6T, MIPS blocks on my UD5 and a combination of EK and Swiftech on my XFX X58.

The MIPS ones are the best in my opinion and you need a good pump because you are introducing lots of extra back-pressure in the loop. Also, I found that the additional heat load was sufficiently high that I put them in a separate loop from the CPU and GPU.
