PWMIC heatsink?

[jcll2002]

I have a few extra of these ramsinks that I installed on my gpu while watercooling. I was wondering if I could install one or two of them onto the PWMIC. I have a fan over it pointing at my ram/PWMIC. Would this passive hs help?

Yep, that'll cool your PWM very nicely. Those buggers get hot, although they don't mind it.

dfi's pwmic chips have better sinks than that stock...

so eclipse, are you saying its a bad idea?

Its funny because right after i installed my wc loop a bounch of cables created a deadspot there and the PWMIC got all the way up to 69c. Just stuck a fan infront of it and its at 35c

plus arent the sinks on the DFI soldered on?

correct

jcl. the solution should be obvious. i'll let you figure it out

Im guessing, dont do it and just put a fan over it?

EDIT: Wait, now i realize why you think im a complete moron.

Is it the circled red or blue/yellow? I was referringto the blue/yellow (someone told me that was the blue/yellow). i think i was wrong.
