Mosfet heatsinks and Capacitors

FeRaL · 09-March-04, 02:58 PM

Is it alright if mosfet heatsinks touch the sides of the capacitors and those lil doughnut shaped things with the copper wire coiled around them?

um, i would say no. cause in there is some contact there may be a short or something like that. those wires are a spcific distance for a reason, and anything that may shorten or lengthen there path might cause unwanted effects.

Hey bro...I got a set of the North pole mosfet and pll sinks...they are anodized for a reason, so they dont conduct electricity...Take a look at this shot....no Problem....http://epowerhousepc.com/cgi-bin/sto...alogno=MC-NPCK

Zennzzo beat me to it.

As long as the Anodization doesn't conduct you should be fine. Ya can never trust the workmanship sometimes.
