Do you mean that you'd like to upgrade the motherboard?

If everything is running fine, it is probably not worth it so late (8th/9th gen are really old now). I'd just wait until you need to upgrade the whole system.

Otherwise, I'd look at these boards: B360, B365, H370, Z370, Z390. You'd just have to buy whatever is a good deal, I think, since they're going to be used.

I would have thought you can already run MSFS 2020, can you not?

I can but was having Issues with frame rates and having to run It on low settings, and after watching some videos on the board they all said to replace It as It's a very basic board with rubbish chipset.

Yes someone said about putting a fan In to blow air over them.

Unfortunately, I don't think your motherboard has temperature sensors for the VRM, but you could check for throttling by running a CPU benchmark and see if your scores are correct.

You could also run the benchmark before and after having a fan cooling the VRM. If you have a top-down CPU cooler, then it will already be cooling the VRM, at least to some extent.

It was me. Yes but even if you cool the VRMs or upgrade the motherboard, you’re still trying to run a punishing game.

Cooling the VRMs might increase your FPS by 1 to 4 (max) but it’s not going to change your whole experience.

I also think you need to try it first and then see if it works for you. If so, then get a new motherboard (because that’s the only real difference between them will be the VRM temps).

30 FPS for your rig in MSFS 2020 is about right.

Yes, it’ll drop to ~8 fps at times but that’s when the game is loading fresh maps/the weather is extreme/it’s a busy part of the map.

If it’s constantly playing at 8 FPS we’ll then maybe your rig is overheating all the time but it’s hard to tell just from a forum thread.
