[SOLVED] Overheating VRM, please HELP!

[Hornstercorps]

Hello,

1) I´ve just got from my brother a motherboard MSI X570-A PRO, which he had in his rig, but one day the mb was KO and the service man from eshop makes a repair in a 3 year warranty. Yesterday I bought Ryzen 7 3700x and now I read, that this mb has the worst temperatures on VRM, and I am now scared, that in next 4 months I will got the same problem like my brother. Is there any chance how to avoid it? Or lower these temps? (We want the money back first time, but the shop make a repair)

ad 1) I have pc clearly for pc gaming, without overclock.

VRM TEMPS

2) I bought new nvme ssd for my new gaming rig - Adata XPG SX8200 PRO 1TB and on this MB are 2 M2 slots and my question is, to which slot I have to install this nvme?

MB SPECS





Thank you guys for any help!

1)That was with a 3900X. A 3700X will be fine.

2)It shouldn't really matter, but use the motherboard manual if the need arises.

1) And when I will getting a high temps with my 3700x, what should I do? My brother had there 5 3600 and the MB was 4 months later broken, I think that was a VRM error, nobody said, what the problem was. But I am really scared to install there my new R7

2) Okay, thank you

I don't know what to make of that, as there's too many clues missing.
Check this if you need another sample: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet...TJFqqVxdCR9daIVNyMatydkpFA/edit#gid=611478281
It's a google spreadsheet of multiple AM4 motherboards tested with Ryzen 3600-3950X, with/without overclocks.

If you're not satisfied with the 3700X's stock cooler, then get a new air cooler. Don't get an AIO if you're concerned with VRM temps - that's one of the downsides of those types of coolers.

So with 3700x at stock or light overclock I am okay with VRM temps? PERFECT! I bought with a cpu new cpu cooler CPU COOLER I hope, that can solve my VRM problem.

Just be aware of Ryzen 3000's higher idle temps. It has caught many by surprise, and caused needless panic.
It is very 'bursty' with lower loads; that behavior is normal.
Setup a custom fan curve.

Okay, the fan I choosed should be enough for cpu and can make better VRM temps?

 

[Phaaze88]

It should be fine, unless your case literally has no rear or top exhausts...

Okay thank you! You´ve helped me alot!
