NikoDG Posted February 3, 2012 Posted February 3, 2012 ~80 C on VRMs is nothing. I would put some kind of heatsinks on the VRMs to make them last longer though... Yeah, VCORE is the VRMs, my solution was to get the Koolance Sabertooth X79 motherboard block set (chipset and VRMs blocks). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waco Posted February 3, 2012 Posted February 3, 2012 Thanks for the reply, The Thermal Radar throws up a warning at 80C so I turn off the test but I've seen it get to 86C shortly after the warning while still on a steep incline. If it is the VRM I guess it could get higher, what is safe? The image above has the sinks removed, THIS is what is actually looks like. Put a fan on it.

ghostcorps Posted February 3, 2012 Posted February 3, 2012 (edited) Yeah, VCORE is the VRMs, my solution was to get the Koolance Sabertooth X79 motherboard block set (chipset and VRMs blocks). I have been thinking that may be the only option, but the cash for that isn't quite at hand. If I sell off the H100 I should be able to put in an XSPC Rasa kit with Koolance CPU+GPU plates. How would I know if they are compatible though? [edit:] It's easier to just look at the Koolance pump etc kit also. So I guess we agree that the temps on VRM of the X79 boards are a problem... I had read it elsewhere but I hoped they were wrong Edited February 3, 2012 by ghostcorps Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
