8RDA3+ hot spot
176ºF on the mosfet chips. Holy cow ! My infrared thermometer doesn't lie. I think I'll make a custom HS and suspend a 40mm fan in front of it. All other chips are 90ºF a or lower.

It relates to the technology / process...
MOSFET stands for Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor.
Definition: It's a Field Effect Transistor in which the conducting channel is insulated from the gate terminal by a layer of oxide. Therefore it does not conduct even if a reverse voltage is applied to the gate. A Field Effect Transistion has a region of donor material with two terminals called the "source" and the "drain", and an adjoining region of acceptor material between, called the "gate". The voltage between the gate and the substrate controls the current flow between source and drain by depleting the donor region of its charge carriers to greater or lesser extent.
There are two kinds of FET's, Junction FETs and MOSFETs.
Because no current (except a minute leakage current) flows through the gate, FETs can be used to make circuits with very low power consumption.

Lots of hand-built and modded AMD systems.
