Title: F2A88XM-DS2/HD3: How good is the VRM ?
Post by: cnckane on March 04, 2014, 03:10:59 pm

Hello!

I'm planning to upgrade my rig, for me these two motherboards offering great features for their price.
But I'm a little "affraid" to buy those for an A10 6800K APU, because the VRM is only 3+2 phase without heatsink.
Does somebody have this or any other "K" APU and can check the temperature of the VRM MOSFETS when the CPU is under heavy load?
Or a picture from the VRM area where I can see the part number of the MOSFTET transistors.

You should buy a board that really feels like being able to run what you need.
It s more than the mosfet current capability ,the BIOS and LLC capability/response time is also to be considered .

That's why I'm asking, the official info shows that ALL FM2+ CPUs are supported, that means the VRM can handle 100W TDP CPUs, however I'm not so sure about that...
