Got a new baord today and wanted to do some benching. It's a 775 dual core board with a 4 phase power design with no vrm heatsinks. Not really a big fan of running uncooled vrms, but I don't have any of the little mosfet heatsinks, so I made my own from a chipset heatsink I had laying around. Thought some of you might be interested.
Basically just took a hacksaw between the fins to get the right size.
Slapped some thermal grease on the mosefts and taped the sinks into place. Here's hoping I won't short anything
. a better application would be to get some of that 3M thermal tape, but I'm itching to bench now so...yeah.
TL;DR version:
