Does cooling the VRM of the motherboard make you CPU temps go low

[boyka11]

I have a FX 8350 and a asrock 970 pro 3 r2.0 with Antec kuhler h20 920 I'm getting high temps with it. So do mosfet heatsinks make the CPU temps go lower by adding it on the VRM?

No, they're separate.

What do you mean?

Lowering vrm temps can lower CPU temps drastically but indirectly.

When vrm's get hot they become less efficient , on auto voltage settings mode voltage will be passed through to maintain CPU stability.
This raises vrm temps more & also raises CPU temps.
There's also indirect heating of the board around the vrm's & CPU socket

The setup your running is very ill matched mate

The pro 3 isn't really good enough to run an 8350 full stop ,using an aio water cooler & removing absolutely all airflow from around the vrm's is a recipe for disaster.

Will it help to add a 40mm fan on the vrm's?

If you can find some way of fixing it then yes absolutely.

Don't buy cheap MOSFET heatsinks , they're worthless & hardly dissipate any heat.
Hard fast airflow is far far better.

The VRMs being less efficient doesn't mean more heat is generated in the CPU. It means more heat is generated in the VRMs.

They're separate, so cooling the VRMs really only cools the VRMs, not the CPU. Apart from the slight amount of heat transfer through the motherboard, which is basically negligible.
