VRM water block.... uneffective?

[Zka17]

But the proof of the pudding is in the eating...

As you said, my friend!

In my case the chiller also means "special condition"... - so, it's no way that air-cooling at my place could be better...

Since I've installed EK block I leave VRM overheat on and haven't seen any signs of throttling that has happened every time with stock cooling.
But VRM block "backplate" heats up to 60 degrees with serious OC and under full load.

Yeap, Dart, I know what you're talking about... - how you are cooling that backplate?

Hi guys,

If you allow, I show you three pictures that sum up my VRM cooling is a small part of the CPU.
As you can see above the VRM is a small fan to 2500 rpm. (Provided by Asus for VRM Rampage2)IMG_2055.JPGIMG_2056.JPGIMG_2057.JPG Connected to Opt.fan1 ​​with temp-sensor in the radiator fins VRM. Below the CPU socket is a 12cm fan to 2000 rpm SLIM (14mm) connected to OPTfan3 and temp-sensor at the center of the base plate which draws air from a grid on the side of the cabinet and sends it under the CPU and VRM. Admittedly not push with the setup (VRM LLC medium -130%), but I decided to install them because during the LINX step of the CPU board I almost burned my fingers (50-55 ° C) and VRM were warm (40-45C °)
After this is the plate that the CPU VRM are below 40C °, and the plate cooled translates to about-2C ° temp of the cores. It's not much ... but it helps! What do you think ... without wanting ... not match your excellent liquid cooling?
A hello to all.
