Can I fix VRM thermal throttling on GALAX B760M D4?
It's honestly ridiculous—in the middle of these beautiful landscapes, my CPU started tanking because the motherboard power delivery was overheating. The VRM heatsinks on the GALAX B760M D4 Wi-Fi hit 92-98℃, causing the clock speed to plummet from 4.8GHz to 2.1GHz instantly. I tried the 'amateur' move of taking off the case side panel, which only dropped temps by 5℃ and let in a mountain of dust while the fans still sounded like a jet engine. I ended up redesigning the airflow, adding two 120mm top exhaust fans, and setting a custom fan curve to hit 100% speed at 75℃. HWInfo showed the VRM temps finally stayed between 78-84℃, and the frequency stops jumping around. The noise was unbearable at first with full speed, but a stepped curve made it tolerable. CPU temps stayed at 68-75℃. Exported all the stress test logs for verification.
