Hello guys,
I wanted to know what happens when the VRM on the motherboard overheats?
Does it start throttling the CPU, blow up and ruin the motherboard or take any other components with it?
My Motherboard is GA-970a-ud3p with a fx-8320 CPU.
In HWiNFO the "VR T1" and "VR T2" temperature headings under the motherboard are showing as 96c under load on Prime95 test for 30 minutes, and 38c when idle.
I've contacted Gigabyte and their reply was that the third party software temperature readings aren't accurate, but the CPU and GPU temperatures seem normal under load at 48c (CPU) and 64c (GPU).
I can't find any info regarding this, any help appreciated
Thanks
