I have an amd fx-8350 cpu, my vrm overheats and throttles..
I there any way to fix this problem?(e.x. Maybe adding custom heatsink?)
 
Gigabyte GA-970A-UD3P or Asus M5A97 EVO R2.0, or MSI 970 GAMING ATX AM3+, if you can buy the 990 chipset AM3+ then they are the best one. Like Asus Sabertooth 990FX R2.0 or Asus Crosshair V Formula-Z but not the Asrock 990fx extreme3 or Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD3.
 
I don't have this MB, but from one of review, you can use it oc the fx8350 to 4.5ghz with the good aftermarket cpu cooler.
