VRM temperatures on motherboards are important because they affect the stability and performance of the CPU, especially when overclocking. VRMs are responsible for regulating the voltage that goes from the PSU to the CPU, which needs to be clean and consistent. High VRM temperatures can cause voltage fluctuations, CPU throttling, or even damage to the motherboard components.
Those massive heat sinks are doing a fantastic job on this motherboard, coming in at just under 55c after 1 hour of intensive CPU load. Now, this would be lower, but keep in mind the truly gargantuan VRM configuration means that while there are huge heatsinks, there’s a lot of hardware to cool too, so these temperatures are really impressive.
