4850 & VF1000 Question

[PolygonGTC]

I added a VF1000 to my VisionTek 4850. The stock heatsink covers the VRMs and the MOSFETs. I know that the VRMs need to be covered and I have some heatsinks to go on those but what about the MOSFETs do they have to be covered? Here's a picture and the small black ones are the VRMs and the gray ones are the MOSFETs.

Study the Sapphire Toxic HD4850 heat sink layout. They did a good job with it.

Another good shot of the heat sinks on the Toxic HD4850:

I ve the VF1000 and didnt cover those =X

EDIT: Just touched them, and they are barely warm... don't think they need any heatsink

Well, that's good to know. The heat sinks I got, I thought were going to be big enough to cover four of the VRMs but they are tiny. Each one is the size of one of the VRMs which would leave me with two. Plus they seem so small for something that gets so hot.

I ordered some Zalman ram sinks and I think I'd rather use those for the VRMs and I should have enough left to put some on the MOSFETs as well.

Thanks everyone.
