Hi there,

Just went from ATX to Mini-ITX and have some overclocking concerns. This new board I have (Gigabyte z170n Gaming 5) only has basic VRM components compared to my previous board (Gaming 7). On the mini-ITX board I copied over 1:1 my OC settings, and so the CPU voltage is a little high at 1.37v. So far everything is stable but I wonder if the board will be able to maintain this voltage for a long time? I've heard the VRMs may overheat etc on cheaper boards.

Thanks
