Posted May 10, 2018 I'm swapping in a new motherboard, CPU and RAM, into my current PC. I've heard some people saying that the VRM cooling on the board I bought is not great, but nearly all of them are overclocking. I have no intentions of overclocking. Should I be concerned about the VRM temps? I'm waiting on the last part to arrive, I won't be able to build it until tomorrow. here are the parts I will be using(I'm reusing most of them from my current PC) https://pcpartpicker.com/list/hJw3yX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted May 10, 2018 If you are not overclocking then don't buy an x470 board and h60.

Posted May 10, 2018 ^^ Don't get a more expensive board if you're not going to use all. Get a b350 and stock cooler or if you decide you want to overclock, a b350 and a dark rock pro 4 or cryorig h7.

Posted May 10, 2018 Author I already had the H60(from my current PC), again the only new parts are the motherboard,CPU, and ram. I got the x470 board because I'd rather have a nice and newer board for $40 more(if I bought at normal retail price, which I didn't). I'd rather have something decent if I'm gonna keep it for 6 years like my current one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
