You do realize we need information right? "it" goes up to 100c, is this vrm temp? What is it? How are you measuring? What board? What cooling are you using? Ambient temps? Are you having any problems or did you just see something and are freaking out?

asrock Board is 970a-g/3.1 cpu socket said shouldnt go over 70c, but it always eitheir 80 or 90c, i am using intel burntest and hwmonitor , what is this cputin and why it goes so high?

Case? Fans? CPU and is it OC'd? HSF being used to cool the CPU?

What is a "cputin"?

i have 3 intake fans 1 exhaust top fan cpu oced to 4.5ghz with 1.45 vcore vid , package temps never goes up to 60c, vrm i can barely touch its runing hot. cputin what i read is socket temp, is it innacurate

So do your VRMs have any cooling? One downside to tower coolers is they don't cool the motherboard area. I don't know if you are using a tower cooler or even what CPU you have, but odds are 1.45V is a problem for you. If your CPU temps are fine, and you aren't having any issues other than I high temp on your package/VRM, find a way to cool them. Better/less fans in your case, a different case which allows bigger fans, or perhaps mount heatsinks and fans to your VRMs.

VRMs dont need cooliong they are rated at 120c, anyway motherboard has 36 month warrantry, i just accept that this board is going hot

I'm sorry, I really don't see the point of this thread. If it's hitting 100c and it's rated for 120, why worry? Unless you are having problems with something, and you never said you did, you would cool things as you would anything else. Improve the cooling for that item. Usually through heatsinks and fans.
