Are these the mosfets where I have to apply the heatsinks on?

Hi!

I created some diy heatsinks for my MSI 760GM-P23 motherboard, because my CPU is throttling due to VRM overheating.
I'm just unsure about the location of these mosfets, as I saw on many pictures it's usually next to the cpu socket.
Here's a picture, I circled them with red, looks like there are eleven of them. Are there more mosfets that I missed or are there ones that don't require the heatsinks?

Thanks in advance!

Yes those are the mosfets, that should be all the mosfets for the VRMs so yes put your heatsink on those. Depending on your your cpu that may not help much, if you have a 125watt tdp cpu like the fx 8350 the 3 phase VRM on that mobo is pretty inadequate with or without a heatsink.

Well then, the heatsinks should help completely
I have an FX-4100 which is only 95W and I've actually solved my problem by putting a 120mm fan to blow the mosfets which does help, I don't have throttling, but only if the side cover is removed, if I put it back on throttling happens again.
I could leave it without the side cover but that looks stupid and I can't stand the case up anyways, cuz the fan is not mounted, it simply rests on the cpu's huge cooler 😀 That's why I want to install these heatsinks which should help by themselves without the fan, but even if they do work without that 120mm fan, I will mount it on the side cover so it will blow air on the heatsinks, that way it should completely stop overheating
