My 8350 can do 5.6-5.8 on wather so i need a good VRM

Holy Jeez! 5.8GHz on a FX-8350?!

What revision is your GA-990FXA-UD3?

If you're doing 5.6GHz - 5.8GHz, I'd just go with an ASUS Crosshair V Formula-Z, a Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD5 / UD7, or AsRock 990FX Extreme4 / Extreme9.

https://www.komplett.no/asus-crosshair-v-formula-z-socket-am3/760831 has gotten some fairly good reviews with only a few reports of BIOS/booting errors in rare cases.

 

Good temporary alternative if you should perhaps consider converting to socket 2011 eventually..  ;)

The VRM on mind did very well, barely felt warm.

I know that you said no more Gigabyte...but Newegg is pumping out the 4.0 version of the UD3.  Bought one for my son with his 6300...man that sure is a great board so far after 2 months.

Case: Silverstone SG09B Motherboard: MSI Z10 Morter M-ATX CPU: I5-6600K  Ram: Corsair LP 2400 DD4 16GB GPU: MSI RX 480 Storage: Seagate HDD Baracuda 2TB x2, Crucial M200 500GB SSD X2 (Raid 0)PSU: Silverstone Strider Gold 1000W w/PP05E Kit

 

"When to say :blink: WTF :blink: ....$2K rig only used for Minesweeper and Internet Checkers marathons...."
