Hi, recently my VRMs on my motherboard have started to thermal throttle my PC. What is a good way to cool them down and stop them from thermal throttling the pc. I have already cleaned away all of the dust inside my PC.

This is my motherboard: Gigabyte 990FXA-UD3 rev 4.0

Some pictures of the inside of my PC:

Can you move the AIO rad into the case front or top locations?

You could swap over to a mid sized air cooler, moving either it or the current AIO into a later upgrade, or sell the AIO to a friend.

Whatever you decide, the issue is obviously that the VRM airflow is blocked by the current AIO rad, so you'll either have to move it or swap over to an air cooler.
