    Asus sabertooth 990fx VRM COOLING

    Hi guys,, i have a amd 9590 chip 8 core,, and the best board so far i found for the chip is sabertooth 990fx rev 3.0.. new latest, to support the said chip.. amd 9590 8 core , and the VRM's get so hot.. when video encoding , or hammering the cpu,, is there anything i can buy to cool the VRM'S im using V8 COOLERMASTER COOLER., AS CPU IS 220WATTS, and v8 states it cools cpus upto 250watts, dual fan, and very large as a main cpu cooller. problem also is the weight of this cpu cooler. its pulls cpu out of the socket, which is a right pain in the arse,!

    so question is, how can i stop if pulling the cpu out the socket with the weight,

    also main question is,, how to cool the VRMS, better,, than standard plain alloy cooler.!

      Install a fan blowing to the VRM area, hold it with zip ties or wathever you can find.

          I had a few set ups with the FX stuff and found similar problems, insane power reqs, ultra hot VRMs and lots of throttling!

          As above stick a fan on them, I used to use a Antec Cool Spot which worked well.

              pull the vrm heatsink and replace the thermal pad/paste with something better. many stock tims are just crap. from my personal experience, things ran several degrees cooler at least from using better paste!

                  BIOS for ASUS SABERTOOTH 990FX/GEN3 R2.0
                  by mferna14
                  Hi friend., working on this motherboard ASUS SABERTOOTH 990FX/GEN3 R2.0. It boots up but freezes on the logo screen. I downloaded the CAPs extension file from the ASUS web site for this mmodel. Changed the .CAP to .BIN extension. Tried 3 files but none of them give any display, but the Original atleast gives display in the start & freezes, cannot go to setup or does not boot up. Can anyone please fix the Original BIOS Bin file, thanks in advance....

                  Samsung R530 Bremen motherboard cooling
                  by Ace Perception
                  Hi,
                  I'm wondering if anybody out there has much knowledge of Samsung Bremen motherboards.
                  I've got a Samsung R530 which is about 10 years old, over the last 12 months it developed a worsening problem where when asked to do much work it would shut itself down. I had a good idea this was due to overheating which was confirmed by a temperature monitor programme which showed little balls of fire next to the various internal temperature readings. I could also prevent it shutting down if I placed a huge fan running at full speed in front of its air intake!
                  So I went in pursuit of...

                  ASUS Sabertooth 990FX REV.2 bios chip problems, probably socket shorted?

                  Hi there,

                  I'm a technician and a computer/retro computer lover.

                  I just bought a great Sabertooth motherboard (I really love the colours and the ASUS military scheme) to install a nice FX-8320 from AMD and make a gaming computer with a Geforce GTX 970.

                  For the first time I had problems with the system, but I solved and then correctly booting, I installed Windows 10 and then I started to overclock the system. I reached a stable configuration of 4,8GHZ with 1,475v.
                  Then I saved fan configuration, and other parameters, and saved to the overclock profile...

                  Liquid cooling?
                  by Hondaman
                  I hope my computer does not randomly reboot while typing this. My main system is the AsRock 970A-G/3.1 motherboard with the AMD 8150 chip. I am experiencing FREQUENT and RANDOM reboots once the system is used for a couple of hours (sometimes it reboots before I even get to the Win7/Linux Mint dual-boot screen). The problem MIGHT be the DRAM controller chip (I recently upgraded to the maximum 64 GB RAM). It also might be the VRM chips. I am using a typical aftermarket CPU cooler, which does NOT blow air DOWN onto the VRM heat sink.

                  (After previous generation hardware [Gigabyte] didn't...
