Asus M5A78L-M/USB3 with FX-6300, will it work without OC?

Hi all,

I have read a few things about VRMs here:

http://www.overclockers.com/forums/...RMs-amp-Mosfets-Motherboard-Safety-with-125W-

The M5A78L-M/USB3 lacks a VRM heatsink(s), but would it be ok to use a FX-6300 cpu with it if I am not overclocking?
Or should I go with another board with VRM heatsink? The computer will be used for work/browsing and "mild" gaming
at times.

For light work and browsing you should be fine if you are not overclocking, it may get a little warm during gaming though. I've seen a lot of similar builds that have seemed to work fine with that board and cpu combo.

ok, thank you.
