Question Best motherboard for preventing overheating (and computer shutdown)

[mujmuj]

After experiencing computer shutdowns (either complete power outage or sudden bluescreen errors), which I partly suspect overheating as the cause, I am thinking perhaps I need to get a motherboard which prevents overheating.

But I am a complete novice.

I will buy i9-13900K. So the motherboard needs to work well with this.

This (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BHXQH5PJ?tag=systoaellc-20&linkCode=ogi&th=1&psc=1) says it has "Optimized VRM Thermals: Massive heatsinks integrated with the I/O cover, joined by an L-shaped heatpipe, and connected to the power stages with high-conductivity thermal pads"

Is "VRM thermals", "massive heatsink", "heatpipe", "thermal pads" what I should be looking for?

What is the best motherboard for preventing overheating?

Also, I have been using "ASROCK Z690 Phantom Gaming 4/D5". Does this have a heatsink? Heatpipe? VRM thermals? Thermal pads? Where can I check that?

Yes, swap C for A, make sure they blow in the right direction 🌬️

The Arctic is slightly better than the Corsair, it's also slightly thicker at 38mm instead of the standard 30mm.

You'd use a cooler appropriate to the cpu and what fits inside the case, most cases only will fit a 240mm/280mm/360mm.

Thanks! You mean ticker CPU coolers are usually better ones?

CPU I will have is either i9-10900x or i9-12900kf.

I see. Then I will have to find a case that fits 420 version of CPU cooler. Not a problem I guess because cases are cheap.

This is the case I currently have. It says
COOLING SUPPORT
RADIATORS

Top:	120 / 140 / 240 / 280 / 360mm (mount fans above bracket for maximum compatibility)
Front:	120* / 140* / 240* / 280** / 360mm* *remove 2 out of 3 drive cage **remove 2 out of 3 drive cages & ODD
Rear:	120mm

Does this mean that it won't be possible to install CPU coolers like ARCTIC Liquid Freezer II 420 ?

That's exactly what it means. It'll mount upto a 360mm on top or in front.
