VRM Area Thermals

Lately, someone requested us to list VRM temperatures. We hooked on the sensors and started measuring. We ran the FPU and CPU torture test in AIDA to do that.

System setup: normal conditions / default settings
We start the AIDA FPU Stress test, leave it running for 15 minutes, and note the highest temperature measured on VRM sensors.

We’ve put the measurements taken with pyrometer and thermal probes connected to the Lamptron SM436 PCI Fan/RGB controller

We also checked the thermals with FLIR technology. The highest reported temperature was ~57-58 degrees Celsius same as indicated by the Lamptron controller. That’s an excellent result for a Z-chipset motherboard. We think that even a highly overclocked 12900K wouldn’t be overkill.

Meet the Asrock Z690 Taichi motherboard. This product is from a series that already appeared using the Z590 chipset, which we’ve reviewed not long ago. When looking at the overall specs, the Asrock Z690 Taichi isn’t much different from the predecessor, which would explain such a price difference.

ASRock Z590 Taichi review
Meet the Asrock Z590 Taichi motherboard. This product from the already well-known series (Taichi means Chinese martial art) focuses on bringing many features at a reasonable price. Well, it was like that till now. Why’s that? There’s about a 30 USD premium over the predecessor, the Asrock Z490 Taichi, an improved appearance, and a great-looking moving gear feature. This board targets the upper mid-tier/high-end range of the market (with a price of 459.99 USD).
