vrm

Have you ever had to deal with replacing VRM components (capacitors, chokes, resistors, etc...)? I have a workstation which powers off as soon as I stop running the stress test, so I suspect it to be related to VRM rather than PSU since if it was related to the PSU, the workstation wouldn't be...

I've had my mind set on upgrading my Ryzen 5700X to a 5800X3D, but I'm wondering if my Asus Prime x370-A motherboard can handle it? It is listed as compatible on the Asus website, but I have read in the past that the VRM is terrible and can't handle CPUs over 105 watts very well. Should this...

I would like to exchange the Thermal Pads on my GPU. What would be the best non conductive Thermal Pads that are easy-ish to get as well? Looking to get temps as low as possible.

I have a RX 7600 Sapphire Pulse and could not find Thermal Pad specs used. So how would you go about finding out the correct size of Thermal Pads to use?

Hi guys. I have some of an old PC that I can't seem to fix. I got random freezes in the system or while gaming sometimes. At the time I've got 12gb RAM (4gb Crucial and 8gb kingston). Thought the motherboard (Asrock 960gm-vgs3 fx) wasn't compatible with the ram so I bought 2x 4GB sticks of...

Hello! I have been looking at different boards for the Ryzen 9 7950x and i have never had such a rough time deciding. Essentially I don't care about the chipset variants as they don't need any of the features this time around. What I am mostly concerned about with the lower end models are the...

Hello, I have been having problems with the VRM section of my Gigabyte H97m-D3H motherboard. It has killed 2 CPUs so far because of shorted mosfets. First time was an i7, PC simply refuses to turn on, fans only slightly moves when pressing the power button. After finding out the two shorted...

Hello everyone, I was leaning towards pairing an i9-11900k with the Gigabyte Z590 Aorus Pro AX (rev. 1.0). However, I realized that part of the VRM of the motherboard is not covered by the heatsink, as seen in the picture attached( image ). Will it be a problem when it comes to temperatures...

I have seen a lot of benchmarks that says that the mortar one is the superior one(vrm wise and points wise) BUT the comparison were between msi b660m pro A and b660m mag mortar. Now my option with pro A is normal one(not micro atx) and b660m mag mortar. So my only question is:if the pro A one...

I'm about to build a PC for gaming and I'm having a hard time choosing a motherboard due to concerns about the performance of the CPU. I'm going to use the I5 10400f+RX 6600 Eagle 8G and I was considering MSI H510M-A Pro as the motherboard. But after some research, I came across the opinion...

My Acer predator laptop has a gpu that doesn’t have any thermal sensors installed in its vrm, (for all I know atleast). There’s no vrm sensors showing up in any 3rd party monitoring software. Is it possible for the vrm to thermal throttle if it doesn’t even have any thermal sensors? The...

Hey! I've just bought my new 5900x and im currently running a 2700x with my MSI B450 Tomahawk Max, the new CPU will arrive in the next few days. I've seen a video from Hardware Unboxed where he said that the Tomahawk will handle it perfectly with it's VRM. So for almost after a year now, can...

Hi, I was looking for some advice. I have a feeling this is something to do with the VRMs maybe. This laptop had an overheating problem due to really old thermal paste and a fan that was almost totally blocked. I have since cleaned the paste off. Reapplied new paste and cleaned out the fans...

Hello, when I took my cooler off I noticed that the Vrm capacitors had slight movement. And upon closer inspection there seems to be a scratch on the paint of one capacitor and seems like a dent (haven't seen it upclose yet). The rest seems fine aside from the slight movement it had when the...
