vrm

My current motherboard (MSI Z590 PRO WIFI) has coil whine even under modest load (for example, scrolling in Chrome). The noise definitely comes from the VRM area. Compared to some of the more expensive MBs, my MB has rather modest VRM (12+2 virtual phases, 6+2 real phases, RT3609BE...

Hello Everyone :) “Context” : Ive just recently gotten myself back into the swing of building PCs again and jumped straight for the deep end of sff PCs and ITX builds for the fun and challenges. Im also planning to custom loop this build as it would be my main PC for myself ranging from gaming...

Does anyone own or know of a cooling solution for the VRMs on this board over the stock cooler. Unfortunately EK dont plan to make Monoblocks for this board but im curious of compatibility or alternate ideas. I plan a modest CPU overclock but nothing too crazy and im concerned about VRM temps...

Hi, Just wondering how improved the VRM is on the 2.0 edition? Thanks.

Hi, This is quite a specific one, and google doesn't seem to give me any answers so I fully understand if no-one can help me here. :P Took apart my R9 290 MSI, noticed the end inductor (Magic R19) the top of it (ferrite?) had come unglued and is stuck to the thermal pad covering the row of...
