When you have to say the issues concern running Prime95 at very high clockspeed (i read that as high overclocks 4,6GHz+), then TBF they are somewhat overstated.
However i agree about the insufficiency of VRM cooling, i used to have Gigabyte X58A UD7:
and thats how the VRM cooling should look like Still dont understand why exactly are newer mobos in this regard worse than the old ones, did the people at Asus etc..., the ones who had knowledge that those fins on heatsinks are there to increase transfer of heat away to air, retire or something, and current generation of designers were not told that?
