VRM cooling small case

Samfazzer · February 10, 2018

Ive just installed an AIO watercooler into my Lian Li Pc V351 and now i keep getting clock speed drops on my I5 2500k. I asssume this is due to a lack of airflow on the VRM's causing it to overheat.
Any good solutions for a really small case? the AIO has helped my CPU temps alot, and gives a much higher boost frequency, but the VRM's overheating is my only problem.

Also, my board doesnt seem to be regognising that i have an unlocked chip, as i cant adjust the turbo frequency and i can only put the clock ratio up to 33, its an asus board, cant remember the full title.

Any help on either issue would be incredible!

Many thanks

Sam

Just add airflow the the VRM, Small case.. then use a small fan... just get airflow on that heat sink
