Hi. I bought a PC with that motherboard and CPU, and even if in ASRock's website it says that those are compatible, the VRM overheats to up to 75ºC when gaming, and then it throttles down. Now my question is: should I complain to the shop where I got the whole PC from, and ask to replace the motherboard for a better one paying the difference, or should I buy one of these VRM heatsinks: http://www.ebay.es/itm/330987326773 ? (take into account price and shipping to Spain) If it was better to replace the motherboard, which one would you recommend? (say more than one, because it may not be available in the shop where I bought it from)
Thanks in advance.
PD: It's also strange that in a BurnInTest or Prime95 running for half an hour it doesn't overheat, but when I join a game of battlefield 3 multiplayer it overheats in less than 15 minutes. Then it throttles down for 10 seconds every 1~1.5 minutes. In the shop where I bought is they used Prime95 and BurnInTest to test out the components, so that may be the reason why they didn't notice.
