Hi,
I've just realized that the VRM's overheating causes the throttle in my rig, so now I'm searching for a way to cool it down. Probably you won't be surprised: my mobo is an ASRock 970 Pro3 r2.0, and my CPU is an FX-8350.
I've just bought (well I mean half a year ago) a CM Hyper 212X cooler, and I'd really love to avoid selling it, so I need another method.
I'm not a fan of the over-complicated DIY ideas as well, if possible (so I'd like to avoid ziplining a cooler).
Right now there is spot for one more case fan on the back of the case. Do you think that it can be enough? I also saw these spot-coolers, but if I have to place it directly above the MOSFET, at least two of them is necessary, and I guess there are not enough power connectors on my mobo.
The other thing I thought about are the MOSFET heatsinks, though I've never tried them, so I don't know if they would do the trick, also probably two packs are needed, since there are 12-14 modules at first glance.
What do you think could solve my problem? If none of these above, do you have a better idea? I want to spend the least possible, so please try to find solution to my problem and don't just say "your mobo is garbage, throw it out".
Thank you for your help in advance.
