Best VRM Cooling (30c Temperature drop) 

but you add too much glue man

Glad it helped

@@aciemiller3443 How many times are you going to comment this?

This is incorrect you should Red the temps of the actual VRM using something like a hwinfo64 not the fins would you measure your cpu temp by putting your thermometer on the cooler fins or do you use a tool to measure the actual cpu temp Cooler fin temps are always very low

If it has no heatsink for VRMs then it is blocked for overclocking anyway

Should have measured backside of the board

@@True_Muslim_Momin yea would make more sense.

Goofy ahh

Thank you I was about to install a watter cooler

but why?

@@humblehostile7946 paint doesn't transfer heat well

@@mrsarcasm4874 i mean it depends on the type of paint used, it's really only a problem when you create too many layers of paint or use a thick type of paint like plastidip

Right! The paint reduces the cooling performance of the aluminium!

@@MrGichinfunakoshi i believe from testings i saw the difference its not to high, obviously there is difference but not by much

Normally you can't measure copper surfaces with a pyrometer at all, as their emittance factor in the frequency range that the pyrometer picks up is like 0.03, as opposed to 0.95 that the pyrometer is calibrated against, so you just see reflection of the environmental heat rather than emitted heat, and you need to take into account the pickup pattern of the IR optics, so it's difficult to avoid contaminating the measurement. The paint, while reducing thermal performance, might have actually helped with the measurement, but it's still inconclusive, since it's difficult to say how much of it is on there. Still, the mod is likely to have been beneficial. A good proxy measurement is just the PCB temperature in direct vicinity of the VRM, maybe at thermal stitching vias on the back side under the edge low-side MOSFETs, while controlling for performance i.e. consumed power that it is actually the same. It is easily measured with a K-type thermocouple or a bead thermistor.

I am currently experiencing vrm throttling (same mobo brand) HWinfo says its prochot ext (not the cpu, other components) since I chose to change my cooler to a high profile one like the one in this video. I think the downforce wind from the stock cooler also cools the vrm of this mobo. Based from what you're saying maybe if I tried this and HWinfo does not report prochot ext throttling then this video is effective.

Why we should not cut heatsink?

So can you glue the thermal pads ? (since they are not adhesive) and then put the heatsink on top with glue too

@@gabrielst527 glue and thermal pads - no this is stupid :)

@@RAMMSTElN Lol

@@RAMMSTElN Well then thermal pads is not the solution, it's a vertical placed VRM with no presssure. The real solution is thermal glue or thermal tape. Pads are for things with pressure (like gpu VRM that have a plate on top of them)

@@gabrielst527 right

Have you open up PSU before? The temperature silicone/thermal are all over inside the PSU. It's okay to use thermal silicone because it's non conductive. As for capacitor, i don't think it will be problem.

Can you really short something with an aluminum heatsink?

Nick Bazin Heatsink shouldn’t touch any capacitors directly, can use thermal tape or silicone as contact medium

Yeah it will. I've seen people spray paint noctua coolers and seen higher temps

When I measured temps on caps I saw them at around 90c so it was also required to cool them down. Since there is no conductivity involved I though why not use the same heatsink to also cool them down. By the way the system is running very nice and cool without any problem.

thats a bad ideas because the cooling surface becoming smaller, less surface area = less cooling effects, in other channel he tried using small electronics heatsink and put it just like your advice and no effects at all. the same logic apply to CPU cooler, why CPU heatsink getting wider?

Yes u can do that but may be you need platform to properly make contact with MOSFETs

use contacts cleaner, it,s a spray, I think it will help, everyone use this to clean thermal paste in the socket

Thanks

My motherboard does not have VRM tempreture sensor on motherboard. It only comes with on more expensive models. So had to use IR sensor to monitor it.

@@InvertLogic Then it would be harder to do. For future reference you could (if your case allowes) measure the back side of the motherboard before and after placement of heatsinks. Have a great day!

When I measured the caps tempreture they were equally hot. I m not sure what max temp they are rated for but thought giving them cooling will be ok. I m using for a long time now is working fine. No problem covering cap for me atleast. But yes it can be avoided if you think that's not right. Thank you

@@InvertLogic can we do overclocking this way?

Thank you! Yes I will keep that in mind next time

Only problems is pads dont hold the heatsing where it should be. you use pads for stuff you can fixate with something else

@@mrn234 yeah but u can put some glue on the buttom of the heatsink then put the thermal pad then glue the vrms and put the heatsink i think it will be good and holding better

@@xRumvley you cant use just "some glue" and when you use glue you can already get Thermalglue thats made for something like that. No pad needed. Its basically Thermalpaste+Glue

@@mrn234 u miss understand brother when i said glue i meant the thermalglue that he used in the video

Not all mother board give options to moniter them VRM temp in HW monitor. So it's not possible specially the cheap ones. I agree that there will be some degrees of difference we will have in reading if measured at heatsink. But hey it's better than having no heatsink at all. Thank you

Where in HWmonitor does it show vrm?

You can try installing heatsink. And may be go above 4ghz if the VRM and CPU maintain tempreture.

Yes sure

Your Mobo doesnt do OC so its fine

did it for a320m s2h with smaller heatsinks. Decreased temps 76 78 to 63 64 celcius degrees. using ryzen 3 1200 af 3.45 GHz@1.056v

@@omerxa haven't done it but I got a better cooler and my temp went from max 95 100% load to 80 should I still do this

using it for more than a year. working fine.

Then when u flip the board or insert it in the case your heatsink will fall .. if u use thermalpad..

it does cool. maybe little less efficient but it does the job.

afraid of that too,the only thing holding me back

If you look from the side angle all components are below that level so that it do not touch any components. However I will advise to check your mobo first as they are all different.

yes its a P4 heatsink

ty for love lol. I came here coz i think I have to do the same for my B450. I am about to put 3900x on it and VRM's will get Very hot (apparently)

@@aciemiller3443 how to get the custom vrm cooling?

@@JasonBlack66 cant wait to kill my a320m board once i get my 3900x chip

They save money in every little part.

It can fall and short your motherboard or GPU.

@@blogJM I've had heatsinks attached with an Akasa pad for like 8 years, never falling off; but they were pretty small heatsinks. For my new one, i am doing a screw mount because i really don't want the heatsink to fall on the GPU, I found an almost-fitting heatsink where i only had to drill and tap screw holes.

Thats the - *Cooler master Hyper H410r*

@@InvertLogic yes, thanks

that glue is permanent you can never remove the heatsinks and it is also to be considered

tem um cara vendendo no ML pronto e cortado pro tamanho dela

The point is to glue the heatsink. Thermal paste isn't glue, so it won't stay.

It's around 60-65c

@@aciemiller3443 I don't care about the thermal glue he used, the way he put it on did look pretty dodgy, for what doing it'll work for me

@@amogussiiuuu802 Thank you so much this info relieved me very much 😥 😊 However.. i still hate this mobo because of the two Ram slots and one fan header only. Just today i received my case it's a msi forge 100m with 3 rgb fans pre installed but no headers for it in this mobo

@@aciemiller3443 How many times are you going to comment this?

Yes or no. It depends if you paint surface that contacts MOSFET. Painting on side may not be that of a problem. It can hardly effect the cooling. As heat can still dissipate

@@InvertLogic I think that the paint is a barrier betwen the air and the aluminiun and reduces the cooling performance! But i can be wrong

not sure. I would say use thermal pads

aciemiller man wtf are you doing with your life

Yes you can try. Use 6 core cpu on this mobo if u like to overclock. Take care don't overdue it.

so did you do it bro if so whats the results?

Its b450 pro m2 v2

@@InvertLogic hey! Thx for reply, my board has similar vrms configuration like yours and also no cooling on the vrms, but do you think it could handle a 3700x at stock speeds or is would be too dangerous?

@@npaz24 yes it can handle at stock speeds.

I don't have measurements. it was re-used from old Intel motherboard. just use any heat sink you have spare. cut it as per available space in your motherboard. I have shown that any heatsink can work.

have you manage to solve your problem? you can try thermal pads. did your cpu throttling and cannot maintain turbo boost for 10 minutes?

h series mobo not suitable for i9. you need z series mobo

@@fastbutsafe5461 this is what people who don’t know about pc say Pc should consist of what you need not blind industrial standard

@@ginjopowder I use it for just gaming and see no throttling so far

Thank you

High VRM temps can throttle down cpu if the VRM temp exceeded the certain tempreture limit. So it better to have them under 90 c in my opinion.

Thanks

yes, that's what I did.

Why? Without the painting you'd loss about 1~3Cº. A VRM under 70Cº is already ice cold.

@@Herbert2892 I agree with the technical point you made.

I think it can be removed easily. But I would suggest tape instead if you plan to remove it.

Have you open up PSU before. The temperature silicone/thermal are all over inside the PSU. It's okay to use thermal silicone.

U can, but it will not be easy

These heatsink are taken from old motherboard.

@@aciemiller3443 not Ryzen, therefore not the best.

@@aciemiller3443 How many times are you going to comment this?

Yes. Only don't overclock.

Yes if its thermal tape

No I want it to run proper with stock settings. Overclock will need bigger aio cooler which I don't have. But you can do oc like 100 - 200 mhz on this board if u manage ur temps

@@aciemiller3443 Oh this one isn't a duplicate

why can't spray. Temperature difference unnoticeable

@@fastbutsafe5461 Aluminum is oxidized in the open atmospheric air. (crust). Therefore, it is not painted in the usual way. Aluminum is painted only by anodizing

Yes Anodizing is proper way but hard to do yourself, and for such small heat sink will be very expensive to do from outside professionals. I put heat sink plaster on chokes because they were equally hot when I measured temperatures. so I have used the side of heat sink to cover the chokes. This system is running for more than a month for 8-10 hours daily with full cpu load. I am using it for rendering and everything is fine no problem with caps or chokes. temperatures are also very good. around 68-70c at full load.

I didn't think about the mobo acting as a heat spreader heating them equally

thats the cheapest motherboard used like for ryzen 1400 1600 and he uses a r 2700x on it instead of a normal b450 or x470

95°c is normal 120≈130°C is a dangerous temperature
