Aftermarket MOSFET and South Bridge Heatsink Sizing

[Xyatron]

Hey guys,
I'm interested in aftermarket passive MOSFET and southbridge coolers (since they seem like a good way to colour match the motherboard with the rest of the build), and I was wondering if any of you have had any experience with them. Also, I want to know what sizes and how many I would need - specifically for the msi Z87 GD65 motherboard. Here are the MOSFET and southbridge coolers which I was looking at. By the way, I know that frozenpc are not selling at the moment, their pages are just examples of the kind of thing I want.

Thanks for your assistance

Not all northbridge/southbridge heatsinks are of standard size, you must measure screw-to-screw, ranges from 49-60mm. Same with the Mosfets.

Ok thanks, the only problem with this though, is that it means that I won't be able to use my computer for a few days after I've measured the dimensions which is why I was looking for the dimensions online.

Thanks for the reply

The Mobo manual won't tell you, you have to break out the ruler on your own. As to the replacement, specially the cheap ones won't tell you either, you have to ask the vendor, is a pain in the buttuska.
