Surely more means the load is spread so less requirement for cooling?

Just to be clear, as Pob said before, its the 'chips' that you really need to cool not the blocks that say R50

Damn.

I tested the black squares that say R50 for temps and they felt fine. Will have to check the VRMs.

Fingered the wrong black box.

Faceplam.

This arrived yesterday. Many thanks for that. Gonna have to get me some of these. Virtual High Five to you

i also tested the temps of the VRM's last night ( felt the right place ) and seem ok. Warm but not that hot i cannot keep my finger on them.

Your very welcome :-)

Sorry I should have said, you need to stress the cpu and test it. Prime95 is good for this
