Hey guys, I recently upgraded my old fx - 4100 to a fx - 8350. The performance is much better, but during intensive games such as GTA V, every 20-40 seconds my frames drop in half for a while. The reason for this is because my old mobo can't handle it, and the mosfets overheat to compensate. To test this I took off my side panel and pointed a room fan directly in the case. After playing for around 15 minutes, my frames didn't drop any lower then 50 here are my specs:
ASUS M5A78l-M LX PLUS
AMD FX 8350 @4.0 ghz
Hyper 212 Evo Heatsink
MSI R9 390 8gb
8GB corsair DDR3 (don't know exact model)
EVGA SuperNOVA 650 GS 80+ GOLD
NZXT S340
Windows 10 running on a 120 HyperX ssd
2 1tb hdd (i has my games on it)
Anyways the fan isnt really a permanent solution, so I was inquiring about these mosfet heatsinks:

Does anyone know if these would eliminate the throttling better or equally as my fan did, or will I need a fan?
