Where is the MOSFET ?

[trickson]

I have been trying to find out were the MOSFET is located n the P5N-D mobo but I do not know were it is . Any here know were it is ?

There you go:

There are 20x mosfets. If you interested in cooling the you are talking about CPU mosfets they are around the CPU socket the 3x3 mm three legs with one cut off

Perhaps this will help:

Cool now how do I cool them ? there are no holes in the mobo so I can not do this in a conventional way . any one have any ideas ?

 

[mlee49]

I think the mosfets are the ones I marked out in red?
Stand to be corrected though.....

Yes you are correct

 

[Black Panther]

Lol I deleted it because I had a doubt -

Those I marked were the chokes actually I guess.

Erocker marked the correct mosfets, they're the ones which look like have 2 legs and a shorter one in the middle.

Now I have to cool them they are hot ! even with my big fan blowing on them they get hot not ho hot that your fingers get burned but hot any way .

 

[erocker]

Get these: http://www.enzotechnology.com/mos_c10.htm They will look good too.

Very nice I like but I have some of them ram coolers for the video card you know when you buy a after market cooler they come with to put on the ram I have used them to do the job . nice to .

 

[LittleLizard]

u can use ramsinks on some mosfets but the enzotech solution is better

 

[CDdude55]

There normally always near the CPU socket.

these prolly will work even better as they are smaller than the ones erocker linked to:

http://www.enzotechnology.com/mos-c1.htm

Basically any ramsink can be used for that purpose i just dont recomend using the ones that come with aftermarket coolers for video cards as they are aluminum, the copper ones dissipate heat much better.

 

[trickson]

I want to thank you all for the help I also want to show you what I have so far done . I nees to find another heat sink for some I missed .

So what do you think ghetto or passable ?

 

[trickson]

Bump !

 

[sneekypeet]

please dont bump a thread at the 15 minute mark. Maybe you should refer back to the sticky pertaining to the rules of this forum.

As for your question.... Would have looked better if they were all on in the same orientation.

Second, some sort of fan in the general area like a spot cool, would drop the temps surrounding the CPU greatly.

 

[oli_ramsay]

Nice job, they should do the trick. The ones nearest the CPU are most important especially if you're overclocking, not sure if the other ones scattered around the board need to be heatsunk (made that word up lol), but it sure can't hurt to do so.

 

[Whilhelm]

The little Enzotechs work well. They need some airflow and that's all.

I plan on buying some of them heatsinks they look so much nicer . But till then I have to use what I have . I also have a giant fan blowing in from the side look here .

It is big .

So yeah there is a lot of air flow just trying to get every thing as cool as can be . Thank You for the help every one .

 

[Silverel]

Those are ramsinks, they worked pretty well... i guess.

Thing is about cooling yer FETs, there's no real way to gauge the temps on em. They either improve stability, or just look kinda nice.

 

[trickson]

WOW they look really nice great job .
