Idling right now my VRM/Vcore temps are 65 degrees! I have the mark 2 so it doesnt come with thermal armor and an assistant fan. Im kinda worried about these temps since when gaming it reaches 75-80. I cant find any fans on ebay or anything that could help either. Anyone have any suggestions.

having an AIO it is normal that you have increased ambient temps around the cpu - vrm area. i would prefer the AIO top mounted with push pull as exsaust as well as the back fan and front fans as intakes in order to suck fresh air inside and result in cooler aiflow, dropping vrm temps a bit. although the AIO as intake allows lowest possible cpu - core temps i wouldnt worry having it top mounted as it will still perform great ! there isnt a point overfilling your tower with even more fans! finally i wouldnt worry that much as sabertooth is a quality mobo built to last.no wonder the 5 years warranty!
