power circuitry cooling

[OFaceSIG]

So I've been doing some reasearch on mosfet cooling because I'm overclocking and my mobo m4a88t-dm/usb3 has no heatsinks over the power circuitry. Is it really that important to cool all the components, the mosfets, the chokes, the mosfets drivers and the caps? Or can I buy these puppies and just stick them directly on the mosfets and call it a day?

Found these too... these more appropriate for mosfets.

Some users like to use brass screws as heatsinks and thermal adhesive for mosfet's and etc.http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835100013

After seeing some promo pics of these and how they are applied on the manufacturors web page I'm starting to believe they can be way more effective than the cheap aluminum ones that usually come mounted to boards.

It is recommended, especially with your unlocked 555, I remember that early mid- and low end mobos with few (and not cooled) power phases blew up with the 125W Phenoms.
