I have recently bought a 9900k along with a Coolermaster ML360R liquid cooler. But the issue is, I haven't given much thought about the motherboard and bought a Asrock Z390 pro4 ATX. So now I'm thinking if this would even handle the temperature of 9900k as the VRM in this board seems not that impressive. I know I should've thought about it earlier.

I do not intend to overclock. At least definitely not with this motherboard, but will it safely run the cpu at stock or the turbo setting?
 
Solution
Your motherboard vrm basically failed testing at base settings of 100 degrees and throttled after one hour of testing. So return it and get a better board. The gigabyte z390ud has the best vrm from testing. If you are going to stick with 390 level.
