Hi everyone!

Recently installed an Arctic Accelero Xtreme IV on my Gigabyte 1080, however the backplate was not enough to cool the VRM (Main screen would turn off after about 30min or so).

So I got some smaller heatsinks to stick on and the system does look stable right now.
Problem is, they get extremely hot to the touch and I am not sure how hot is safe for these vrms? The card does not have any VRM sensor so I am trying to find a way to estimate if the temps are somewhat reasonable or if I need to do more.
Core temp is maxed at about 50c, so thats cool..

Thanks in advance :)

they get extremely hot to the touch

they're supposed to get too hot to touch

50C+ CAN burn a persons skin btw/

for reference, 100Celcius is Boiling temp, so 60C and beyond are pretty hot in human parts terms, but not in silicon terms
