QUOTE(TristanX @ Dec 21 2019, 12:17 PM) Voltage Regulator Module (VRM) runs cooler when it is more or having better heatsink. That recommended X570 has 12+2 VRM. Can I safely say that VRM cooling becomes important when the CPU TDP increases? E.g., if I get a Ryzen 3600, B450 AsRock Steel Legend (low tier cooling) would actually be advisable? (in terms of budget) + no overclocking. |

"AMD Ryzen maxes out the CPU when it has better cooling on the CPU as well" - that's only for the X (e.g., 3600X) versions, right?Steel Legends isn't good when it comes to VRM. Pro 4 is better. MSI B450 Tomahawk Max has the best VRM cooling for B450. I'm 50/50 on MSI because of it's bios. |
