    Asus sabertooth 990fx VRM COOLING

    Hi guys,, i have a amd 9590 chip 8 core,, and the best board so far i found for the chip is sabertooth 990fx rev 3.0.. new latest, to support the said chip.. amd 9590 8 core , and the VRM's get so hot.. when video encoding , or hammering the cpu,, is there anything i can buy to cool the VRM'S im using V8 COOLERMASTER COOLER., AS CPU IS 220WATTS, and v8 states it cools cpus upto 250watts, dual fan, and very large as a main cpu cooller. problem also is the weight of this cpu cooler. its pulls cpu out of the socket, which is a right pain in the arse,!

    so question is, how can i stop if pulling the cpu out the socket with the weight,

    also main question is,, how to cool the VRMS, better,, than standard plain alloy cooler.!

    Install a fan blowing to the VRM area, hold it with zip ties or wathever you can find.

      I had a few set ups with the FX stuff and found similar problems, insane power reqs, ultra hot VRMs and lots of throttling!

      As above stick a fan on them, I used to use a Antec Cool Spot which worked well.

        pull the vrm heatsink and replace the thermal pad/paste with something better. many stock tims are just crap. from my personal experience, things ran several degrees cooler at least from using better paste!
