the mosfet is a metal ocide semiconductor field effect transistor, it sits next to the cpu socket and is usually cooled by a radiator type heatsink, the solution to an overheating one would be to take out the motherboard and re-seat it ensuring that a new layer of thermal nylon is applied or if you apply thermal compound you may need to file the fins to ensure proper contact

as for you computerruller, your 13 tying to make money. get a paper round
im currently getting 30 pound a week from the goverment because i am taking the route to higher learning

o that thing the motherbaord? i must have missed a step when i built my computer cause i didnt put any thermal paste on the motherboard or do you mean that heatsink what do you mean taking the route to higher learning

A levels in the UK is higher learning i think cew is currently doing A levels....think

the money is called EMA, i used to have it

[kanoakavirus]

When i took my courses in college on building computers i received 30 pound a week , (EMA)

[computeruler]

you took a whole course just on BUILDING them?

[Cew27]

im going to a uni to study computer science and another subject (dont know what yet) hopefully so im staying on at school

[kanoakavirus]

well on a short note i took a 12 week intensive course on health/safety when building computers, i had to learn all the acronyms and the long terms , example psu/power supply unit then i had to learn how to build a computer and how to take one apart successfully without corrupting any components , then i had to learn how to install an os how to repair and back up etc , install drivers , and theres so much more i had to learn.

o i see

[kanoakavirus]

Photographic memory helped me pass

[computeruler]

so it must have been pretty hard

[kanoakavirus]

Umm to be honest i had an excellent teacher, and as i learned everything started becoming obvious and clear, before i got into building i thought it would be a cold day in hell before i would ever dive into a tower but now i can not believe how simple it can be.

[computeruler]

ya i used to think that you could like only get them from the manufactour and i never thought you could build one and now im amazed how simple it can be

[kanoakavirus]

I used to be a one finger typer up until around 2 years ago lol and now ive build/building computers.

[computeruler]

i used to be thae same wya now im about like a 4 finger typer i use my first 2 fingers on each hand

Touch typing is the most useful skill you will ever learn IMO.

Being able to knock out post at 90 WPM is priceless
