For most PC enthusiasts, choosing the right motherboard involves key considerations such as form factor, CPU compatibility, memory configuration, connectivity options, and overclocking headroom. However, one major motherboard component that often goes unnoticed, even in a spec sheet, is its VRM (voltage regulator module)—an electronic circuit responsible for ensuring a system's overall stability.

Motherboard VRMs: what you need and what you don't. : r/buildapc
And my VRM temps on a cheap $95 Gigabyte B550M DS3H with the dinkiest little VRM heatsink? 70 deg C after 3 hours of full load while the CPU is happily boosting on all cores at 4.25Ghz. That's the worst case scenario possible and it's a whopping 35 Deg C off the dangerous temperature of 105 Deg C, with "bad" VRMs and a tiny heatsink.

Solution for severe motherboard VRM coil whine? : r/ASUS
My old rig with air cooling was about as loud as this thing total. A 7 year old motherboard vs a 2021 model, €500 for a motherboard to hear coil whine, a designed gaming motherboard for overclocking, bells and whistles! And you get coil whine.....so disappointing. 1st and last Asus motherboard i'll ever own.

Motherboard, vrm temperatures : r/overclocking
The VRM temps would climb into 100C under full load all 24 cores working. The problem is they don't get good airflow. I found a right angle duct on ebay, search for "VRM duct". It mounts to the 120mm or 140mm case fan and then forces air flow right above the VRM row. This got the temps down into the 80's even at full load.

AMD B650 Roundup: 35 Motherboards Tested, Complete Buying Guide
No way most motherboard failures are VRM failures. People who run Folding@home or mine Monero load their CPUs at 100% 24/7 for months. If VRM thermal stress was a significant contributor to motherboard failure in typical use, those people would be returning the same board 3 times inside the warranty period.

Premium search engines claim to protect your privacy and stop you from seeing ads while still getting the results you want. I tried Kagi, but while it does deliver on these criteria, I wouldn't currently pay for it.
