VRM Loop Help

[noobftw]

Hi,

 

What is the optimal way for me to include my VRM's into the loop, I'm not even sure if it's worth it tbh, but it seems like a wasted opportunity. Would  lower VRM temps mean lower CPU temps or vice-versa? 

 

The temps of the motherboard, PCH and VRM don't go past 60c while gaming.

It won't significantly affect performance, but if you really have extra money to spend it could potentially be worth it. Seeing as your motherboard already has a VRM heatsink though, you most likely won't have overheating issues.

Nope. Adding the VRM to the loop will heat your loop up slightly more, though.

Which ever way you want. Probably the shortest runs is the best way. Loop order makes little difference.

Looks like your motherboard supports it, and doing a custom loop is already not worth it, so why not?

Those runs will be really tight and hard to accomplish with soft tubing, no?

Yes, with soft tubing they will be quite difficult and could cause problems further down the loop from kinks, restricted flow, etc if not done perfectly right. And of course hardline would be incredibly expensive just for VRM cooling. If your case fans blow enough air across the VRM heatsinks (from your fan config in the picture it looks like they do), you won't really need the liquid cooling.

Yeah, i think im gna pass, just not worth it at all.
