Because it needs to convert large amounts of power, it can get very hot under load. The VRM is responsible for converting 12V power from the power supply into the low voltages used by the processor. It looks like your motherboard's voltage regulator module ( VRM) is overheating. What are the possible causes for it to happen like this? How can I fix it? Also, any knowledge regarding the matter is appreciated, even if it does not solve the problem directly. I know other people using the same program as I have see temperatures higher than 80 ☌. Important: I know there is something called throttling, CPU or motherboard does it to protect itself from harm, but 50 ☌ seems to be a safe temperature. I am not very certain if the program is accurate. I've used CPUID HWMonitor to monitor the temperatures.It occurs the most frequently while I'm playing Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon® Wildlands.Please watch the following 15 seconds video that I captured from CPUID HWMonitor, it might prove to be useful to understand what's happening. The only solution I've discovered so far is restarting the computer.It is not related to my CPU being overclocked because it happens if it is not, as well.Only happens while playing games.(so far).When it happens, the temperature jumps to 206 ☌ and the frequency drops to 1800 MHz.I am not certain if the temperature is the cause. Seems to occur when the CPU reaches 50 ☌.Problem definition:ĬPU dropping its frequency down to 1800 MHz. It doesn't auto adjust but I set it to 0% from SpeedFan while it is not necessary to use. I plugged the CPU fan to System fan pins on the motherboard because there were no other pins. It is not a big problem though because it is auto-adjusting its speed if there is no pin left out, if there is one, you still can do it via a program called SpeedFan. Downside to this is that now there is more noise coming while playing. I had a old CPU fan, so I just installed it on the side of the case chassis, and it is blowing directly towards VRM. I didn't try, so just to let you know you might try it. Cannot guarantee it'll work, because CPU fan will be exhausting hot air from CPU anyways, so it might even worsen.
