[SOLVED] Will this B560 motherboard cause performance throttle?

[heatmikepark2]

Hi all,

I am currently building a budget gaming PC. The components I already have are gtx 750 ti, Samsung EVO 256 GB SSD & Corsair Vengeance RGB RS ddr4 3200mhz Ram.

I have decided to buy an i3 10100f/10105f (according to availability) and a B560 motherboard to pair with it as b560 mobo supports ram OC on 10th gen.

The issue is while going through forums I came across posts discouraging to buy VRM heatsink less B560 motherboard as it throttles performance. Most of these posts were for 10th gen i5 and above CPUs.
I wanted to clear out whether there would be performance throttle on an 10th gen i3 as well. I am planning to upgrade to a RTX 2060 once the GPU prices are back to normal in future. The motherboard I am looking to buy is MSI B560 PRO E (link below). This is the cheapest b560 motherboard I could find as the whole motive of the build is to make a budget PC. Thanks in advance.

Although the two CPUs you have mentioned doesnt have too much to boost, you should probably try to get something a bit better better...

General rule, that I follow, is if the VRM's lack any heatsink, avoid like the plague. There are still lousy boards with said heatsinks, but you eliminate a lot of junk. Also, the ram OC, for 10th gen, I believe is for i5 and up, just as an FYI. Not all B560 boards allow for it at all, with a 10th gen chip. This one does, though.

ASRock B560M PRO4 LGA1200 Micro-ATX Motherboard

The B560 chipset is a great, cost effective way of utilising the performance of Intel’s 10th and 11th Gen CPUs. They feature PCIe 4.0, RGB lighting, dual M.2 ports, HDMI 2.0, DisplayPort and support USB 3.2 Gen1.

Thanks for your reply! I think i3 10th gen does allow ram OC, Here is the link to prove the same.
