Gigabyte GA-78LMT USB3 6.0 overclocking
Hello everyone, I own a Gigabyte GA-78LMT USB3 Version 6.0 with a Gigabyte GA-78LMT USB3 overclocked to 4.5ghz. I adjusted the Vcore in the BIOS to 1.4200 and it runs stably when using Prime95, though the VRMs get warm and the chokes become even hotter. I have two intake fans at the front, two at the top, and one exhaust fan at the back. The VRM heatsink doesn’t burn me if I touch it briefly; the chokes are almost burning my finger. Is it safe to run this setup continuously? Also, if I can keep the components cool enough so the chokes don’t overheat, is it safe to operate it 24/7? I used the multiplier to reach 22.5 and turned off the turbo core—anyone know the maximum Vcore voltage this board can handle at 1.45V?
You could possibly achieve a better original character on that point, yet the cost for that gigabyte option is really great.
I would like a fan for those components, maybe even small heatsinks. The cooler the better for running them. Also, I wouldn't increase the voltage more than 1.45. I added heatsinks to the chokes of my Asus M4A79XTD EVO because at 1.7V they became hot. I also have a blower fan that I plan to use to push air through the heatsinks.
The same response remains, indicating a budget board and suggesting it will be damaged.
