unless you are APU overclocking heavily, you wont run into any heat issue with the un-heatsinked phases.Just curious if it going to overheating
If you're not running an APU (2200g, 2400g, etc.) the SoC doesn't get worked heavily. So heatsinking isn't really required.Just curious if it going to overheating or not under moderate to heavy OCing and why ASUS didn't bother to put it on just like in the PRO model?
not really, most just have them to look nicer.o higher grade boards have larger heatsinks, made to take more abuse.
Surface area is surface area, and there's only so much that can be done with heatsinks that sit under aircoolers, next to ram, above pcie slots etc. At some point its going to be on the user to find a solution to better cooling, such as a fan.
