ASUS TUF Gaming B650M-Plus Motherboard Review

VRM temperatures on motherboards are important because they affect the stability and performance of the CPU, especially when overclocking. VRMs are responsible for regulating the voltage that goes from the PSU to the CPU, which needs to be clean and consistent. High VRM temperatures can cause voltage fluctuations, CPU throttling, or even damage to the motherboard components.

VRM Temperatures

Despite being a smaller mATX motherboard, and having those blocky VRM heatsinks, cooling isn’t an issue, with the VRM hitting just 49.9 at its hottest spot after one hour of intensive CPU load. Clearly, heat is never going to be a problem here, and while you have to factor in that the VRM configuration isn’t the most extreme on these charts so they use less power and generate less heat anyway, the temperatures are still some of the best I’ve seen.

As a child still in my 30's (but not for long), I spend my day combining my love of music and movies with a life-long passion for gaming, from arcade classics and retro consoles to the latest high-end PC and console games. So it's no wonder I write about tech and test the latest hardware while I enjoy my hobbies!
