Recall that it was the professional overclocker Der8auer that set off alarms by labeling the VRM system on the X299 motherboards as a disaster. Der8auer says that motherboard manufacturers have not worked properly with the VRM system and it suffers from overheating in very aggressive overclocking conditions. Remember that we are talking about the Intel HEDT platform that is aimed at the most demanding users, making it the choice for those who want to achieve high levels of overclocking.

We tested the VRMs of X299 boards. How much do they really heat up?

Der8auer has re-spoken to communicate that Asus is working on a new heatsink design for its X299 ROG Rampage VI Apex motherboard. The new heatsink has a much more elaborate design that allows the air flow on the VRM components to be increased so that they can work at more recommended temperatures. Asus has also added mounting points for a small fan that further improves the cooling capacity of the new VRM heatsink.

This new design comes after Asus contacted Der8auer to request the collaboration of the overclocker in the design of the new heatsink, thereby ensuring they have the quality seal of one of the most demanding and prestigious users. An excellent decision from Asus.
