    [SOLVED] Vrm heat protection

    Does anyone know if an Acer predator Helios 300 (2020) model no ph315-53 has decent built in vrm heat protection? My laptops motherboard isn’t showing sensors for the vrm and I would just like to know if the vrm got too hot, it would thermal throttle instead of cooking itself. Thanks for reading.

    I just built a new high-end pc (Ryzen 9 3900x, etc) with the Asus ROG X570-E Gaming motherboard. I built it with an open-air case and an AIO water cooler, so there's really no airflow over the motherboard. Today I noticed that the VRM heatsinks are almost too hot to touch, and I can feel the...

    [SOLVED] VRM cooling for GTX1070Ti

    Hello, A few months ago I bought a PNY GTX1070Ti blower edition for a good price. I've used this GPU in many games and it works very well except for the noisy (I fixed the fan curve to higher RPMs, that makes it even noisier), so I purchased a GPU cooler, Arctic Accelero Extreme III. I...

    [SOLVED] Did overclocking damaged the motherboard?

    Hello, I have a failing graphics card so I started digging in my computer and found something else too.
