bobkoure I ran the "Mark 1 probe" test. I find that almost all of my voltage regulators are a little bit warm
One is hot enough that I don't want to leave my finger on it more then a few seconds...
Also there are too coils that gets just as hot...
Below is a pic of my board with the hot spots circled. Click to enlarge

Also have to very 2 warm voltage regulator but i can leave my finger on them NP...
the rest seem cool...
I could chop up an old P2 slot1 heatsink. It is alluminum, or should I go and buy some special copper ones?

glue the partial heatsinks onto the voltage regulators... but the heat coils I'm not shure about.. do I have to do anyting with them? :shrug:


BTW here is a pic of my system...
I will be taking more pictures later but the battaries died on my camera
