What would happen if the VRMs fail on my motherboard

[OfficialJsP]

so i was wondering what would happen if the VRMs failed on my motherboard would any of my other components go out with it such as my CPU?

Well your motherboard is highly known for VRM failure.......

Just look here, taking out the cpu, mobo, other parts in your case, mobo will not turn on

Almost all of these mobos are MSI, they are a mobo brand that you should avoid when you are buying a AM3+ mobo.

Depends f it would fail your pc woul dmost likly shut down unless you have extras and it could overload the next one but it will probaby just brick mobo.

Well people say it's NOT RECOMMENDED at all to run a 8xxx chip on the 970A-G46 and don't even buy that mobo at all.

I choose the Asus M5A97 R2.0 instead because it has VRM cooling(unlike the M5A97 LE R2.0 doesn't), no known list of faults, and for it's features and because it's Asus.

Personally when buying AMD I would only get the best chipset (990fx), also if you are chasing decent OCing on 8 core chips its the best way to go.
