Question about VRM Temps.

icemax60 · March 21, 2018

Hello I have a quick question about VRM temps. I have a Asus Prime B350 Plus running a 1600 on it. I know the proper way to measure the VRM temp is a thermal probe but i do not have access to one. I do how ever have a laser infrared thermometer. I am running an overclock of 1.3v at 3.8 GHZ.

How should ( if possible ) i measure my VRM temps with my laser thermometer? What temps should I stay in?

I question this because i have seen Buildzoids and Gamers Nexus vids about Ryzen motherboards and from what i gathered is all B350 boards VRMs are trash and i should of bought a expensive x370 board.

I would like to try and push my OC if i can if my temps on my board are in check.

thanks!

Just get some finned heatsink and a fan on it and you'll be fine. You wouldn't even need to measure temps.

Yes, this. You can buy little square copper or aluminum heatsinks. Use thermal adhesive (like thermal paste but actual glue) and stick them on. If you have airflow over them (from a case fan or CPU cooler) you'll be good to go.
