I recently just bought a Mobo MSI K9A2 CF-F V1 and my processor is AMD Phenom 9550. I heard a lot of complains about the mosfet and that make me really worry that my mobo will not be long last. With default vCore 1.25v, I feel hot when touch on the mosfet. I tried to source mosfet heatsink but unfortunately, it is very hard to get in Malaysia.
At the end, I bought the CoolerMaster RAM heatsink ARC-U01 and attach 4 pieces of RAM sinks to cover all mosfets. Each ram sink cover for 3 mosfets.
After attached, I tried to play game and do some CPU test, I noticed the heatsink very hot. That make me worry again because the RAM sink is quite small with short fins. Not sure whether it will help to cool the mosfet or make it worst.
My question is, Is that a good move to installed the small RAM Sink on Mosfet? Or should I remove it and let the mosfet running without heatsink?
Really appreciate your expert advice. Thank you.
