Vrm cooling

[Thomasfl1]

Hello i recently put together a budget PC with the following. Ryzen 5 5600 with the idcooling se 224 xts (tower). Gtx 1660ti. 16 GB ram 3200. Deepcool pm750d. MB Asus prime a320m-k. Case Is antec nx400 (poor airflow). I read this mobo has weak vrm with no heatsinks. Should i add sinks? Should i add a fan pointed towards vrm? Im no tech guy, need some help plz. My case only has 1 fan and that Is the exhaust at the rear. Planning on doing 1080p gaming medium or high settings. Im worried about lifespan of mobo. Any help Is appreciated, thx in advance.

Well, it should be fine with that CPU, but it just runs warm due to a lack of airflow (and heatsinks and the quality of the VRM in general. It won't hurt anything to put a fan across the power delivery.

Hello thank you for your answer. So im going to add a fan pointed towards the vrm then. Should i make it to blow Air into it or exhausting from it? Thanks in Advance.

I'd imagine into it. Try to see what works best (though I doubt that bottom barrel board has readout - Hwinfo).

Going to check if i have hwinfo readings. Gonna reply asap. Thank you very much.

The lower the temp on vrm the cleaner the power to the cpu,the lower the voltage on the cpu the better your overclock.There are many
good hsf put they all block the air or cooling to the MOSFET vrms etc.and thats why I use a cheap water setup.
