What mofset cooler I would need ?

I have acquired Xigmatek s1283. Which is basically a tower cooler?
If I use that then I would need some sort of Mofset cooler.
I have
P35C DS3R
Any recommendations what sort of MOFSET cooler I can use ?
 
Some tower heatsinks (such as that Xigmatek) are designed to redirect airflow down toward the components around the CPU socket. I don't know how effective this is, though. My Arctic Cooling Freezer 64 uses this design, and it doesn't seem to do much to cool the MOSFETs. Then again, I keep RPM on the fan very low to cut down on noise. With a higher RPM 120mm fan, the Xigmatech would probably be more effective at cooling these components.

If you're still worried about VRM temps, you can get small, stick-on heatsinks for them. Thermalright also offers a selection of more substantial heatpipe coolers.
 
You don't need a MOFSET cooler. As long as it is enough airflow around that area in your case, then it's fine.
 
If the board came with no MOSFET cooling, it's not necessary. They don't build to such tight specifications that using a tower + fan instead of a blowdown type fan would cause them to overheat
 
So, the exhaust fan it's right near the VRM area. It's enough airflow, don't worry about it. As long as you don't do extreme overclocking on liquid hydrogen, then there really isn't any need for a heatsink on those little chips. 😉
