Anything such as a VRM cooler?

I have a mobo of MS-7778 (JasmineR) and I have asked about it in the AMD Overclocking Club and they say it isn't good to overclock it since this mobo doesn't have a VRM cooler in itself. I want to overclock my A10 6800k APU to at least 4.8ghz, but the VRM's aren't allowing me so. So question here is this: IS there anything such as a VRM cooler that will help me overclock more or are mobos specifically created with more VRMs for this specific purpose?

Yes, you can buy thermal pads/tape and separate heatsinks to help:

And then direct a fan at the passive heatsinks.

Keep in mind that heat alone isn't the only thing preventing you from getting to where you want to go....the boards ability to deliver power (power delivery system) is also less than ideal. If you're just doing it to test/play, that's great, but bear in mind that you're likely to blow your board if you try to run low-end equipment too high for too long (like if you wanted to make 4.8Ghz a 24/7 setting).

Thank you guys. I'm trying to get somewhere. VRM isn't a thing I've seen and was wondering how to get passed the overheating and such. I don't think mine even comes with a heatsink on the VRMs and the fuse looking things and such, so my mobo isn't that good. I'm soon going to get a ASUS Z170-A ATX mobo with DDR4 and going to get an i7-7700k CPU. This totals around $600+ for my next upgrade and I think it will be worth it.
