Power Consumption and Temperatures

With this platform just launching, how good this board fares when it comes to its competitors is still a question that remains to be answered; however, there seems to be no question as to how efficient this board is as its small heatsinks barely get warm to the touch. I wasn't exactly pushing things too hard here, but with the results I saw added with ASRock's claims and seeming expectations that many users will pair this board with some sort of watercooling or another (you'll see this on the board's product page under it's listed specifications), I think there is little need to be concerned too much about pushing this board's VRM a bit under an overclock.
