Report on motherboard reaching 95°C temperatures
The VRM, which transforms 12V to the required low-voltage levels for the CPU, isn't perfectly efficient and generates heat. That warmth needs a way to dissipate. The key parts of the setup are called MOSFETs, built to operate reliably between 125-150°C. Most motherboard makers ensure proper heatsink design and layout to keep temperatures between 100-110°C. This prevents damage over thousands of hours, especially since exceeding 100°C can harm the circuit board. In your scenario, Asus likely set a safe limit around 95°C, which explains the observed temperature range of 93-94°C. Operating within this range is safe; using a standard fan above the heatsinks should further lower the temperature.
