Hi, id like to push my r5-1600 to higher clocks but im concerned about my mosfet temps so i figured out i could do some DIY heatsinks.
I found some online shops selling aluminium heatsinks and thermalconductive double sided tapes and im torn between how i should go about it...
Option A: buy multiple small heatsinks and have each one for couple of mosfets - i would need 6 separate heatsinks to cover all of them
Option B: buy two long heatsinks and have it cool all the mosfets in a line.
My cpu cooler will be amd wraith prism so there will be quite abit air going down on the motherboard already but im wondering if it will be enough for such purpose.
Buying higher tier motherboard is not really an option because im trying to spend as little as possible. I know i should have bought mobo with them when i was building pc but hadn't had idea that overclocking will be so fun to me as it's first time im trying some serious oc.
My cpu is stable at 4.1 ghz but quite hot, i have a feeling that with proper cooling and mosfets with heatsinks on i will be able to push it to 4.2 or higher.
