vrm vrm cooling tips

[dinkytech]

Hello all.
I have recently built a new AMD system (yes I know AMD no good...)

consists of:
Asrock 990FX Extreme 9
AMD FX9590 black edition 4,7GHz (5GHz)
32GB Corsair Vengence 1600MHz
Sapphire Radeon R9 390 Nitro W/backplate 8GB
Samsung EVO 850 250GB SSD
Corsair RMI850 850w gold 80+
Corsair Hydro H110GTX 280 AIO
Phanteks Enthoo Luxe case fitted with
1 front 200mm fan (phanteks)
1 rear 140mm (phanteks)
2 bottom 120mm (noctua)
1 top 140mm (phanteks)
2 top 140mm (corsair radiator)

now my issue is this,
the case does not come with a side fan slot in the acrylic window, so I can not really get a good amount of air flow onto the vrm chips next to the cpu.
I have set the 1 top 140 mm phanteks to pull air into the case over the vrm heat sink.
which does help to cool it down fast.

my system when running demanding games get the temperatures to
cpu can touch 50c average is around 47c
radiator can get to around 40c average 37c
gpu gets to max so far 66c
vrm gets to 60c

its the vrm I want to try and keep cooler, so far the cpu has run at over 5GHZ near 5,2 with out me overclocking it,the boost on it does it on its own with out any stability issues.

Any suggestions would be welcome

Its normal for VRMs to run hot. And your 60 C is nothing to worry about.

Temps are fine, no need to worry.

Why did you go with the 9590?

Then why did you buy it. You do realise that the 9590 + 390 is the worst possible combination you could've gone for...right?

And why is that? You know, people are using PCs for other things than gaming.

It's bad value, regardless of the application.

8 cores CPU for ~$200 is a bad value? Ok.

Are we seriously still doing this? Cores per dollar? You do realise their individual cores are really weak right, and they don't scale 100%.

And technically it's not an 8core. It's considered 4M/8T.
