The next step is active cooling on the VRMs. Not much else you can do.

PC Specs - AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D - MSI B550M Mortar - 32GB Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR4-3600 @ CL16 - ASRock RX7800XT - 660p 1TBGB & Crucial P5 1TB - Fractal Define Mini C - CM V750v2 - Windows 11 Pro

VRMs can take way higher temps because they aren't semiconductors. Danger zone for them is like 125 degrees and up, so if you've got any airflow over that area and nice sized heat sinks, you're fine

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

700MHz on a X2 250 isn't stellar. I ran a X2 245 at 3.95GHz on a M2N68AM Plus (back in 2010-2011), which has even poorer VRMs than this and that survived. So this should be fine too.

Zipties, I suppose. But again, with such a low end chip, it doesn't matter. 

 

One thing to note, though: this board does not support 125W TDP processors. 95W is the max, so don't buy a CPU for it that's 125W.
