[zimrebel]

am in the proccese of building a new Pc and i have found a good deal for a ASRock H81M-HDS and was wondering if it will stay cool while running games. I will be hopfully getting one of AMDs rumored gpu (if they come out) .

i just want to know if this Mobo can handle it.

It is quite capable. I don't see any issues with this motherboard. Your GPU and CPU in this motherboard are what cause most of the heat, but even then, they should produce a rather standard amount of heat unless you're overclocking. If you would like to further improve the cooling, then you may wish to invest in an aftermarket heatsink, or even water cooling. Either way, your system should be running quite cool. And of course, make sure that the tower that you will be placing the motherboard along with all of the other components inside has enough ventilation to help with the cooling.
