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.
