Hello folks;
I have a very cheap ASRock A320M-HDV R3.0 motherboard, AM4 platform.
It has no coolers on the VRMs, probably because it was so cheap.
I got tiny 5 by 5 millimeter cooling fins on a Chinese web shop,
and I am thinking about glueing them onto the VRMs.
I have high quality thermal adhesive from Arctic Silver, consisting of 2 syringes.
Do you think that will hold on long term?
They cooling fins a really tiny, I guess they weigh not much more than a gramme or 2.
The only thing I am afraid of is that if one of them should ever drop off,
it could fall onto the video card an cause fire or something.
Has anyone else tried this before?
I was thinking about it because I run the BOINC client on it to help science.
So that means almost 100% cpu load all of the time.
I only use a 35 Watt TDP Athlon 200GE on it,
but nevertheless in the tool HWMonitor I see mobo temps as high as 120 degrees Celsius.
I suppose that is the VRM temp, no?
Thanks for any input.
Have a good day & be safe;
Carl Philip
