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.
The VRM configuration is pretty robust, and the VRM heatsinks are huge for a 12+2 power stage, but it all balances rather well, with temperatures never going past 54.5c in the hottest spot, which is far from ever becoming a concern for those taxing their CPU.
