TIM gate, VRM disaster? Possible X299 motherboard faults and Skylake-X

Skylake-X is hardly coolable out-of-the-box in typical use due to excessive power consumption and thermal paste that limits optimal heat dissipation

The average user has little overclocking room, and many motherboards limit the CPU owing to design issues like insufficient external voltage converter cooling Extreme overclockers barely work with modern hardware

Test setup and measurements We’ll acquire a simpler Socket 2066 motherboard, make a vertical benchtable, and test

The board’s CPU power supply has 5 1 phases controlled by an International Rectifier IR35201 This multi-phase buck controller supports Intel VR12 and evidently VR13

These highly integrated power stage chips include gate drivers, high- and low-side synchronous MOSFETs, and the Schottky diode Unlike other MOSFETs, they have analogue temperature sensors

This would be equivalent to voltage converter temperatures VRM1 and VRM2 on graphics cards with PWM controllers
