ASUS CPU vrm phases

So, do you guys trust the T-probe setting for the DIGI+ vrm (Cpu phases)?

It seems like if the thermal probe malfunctions, The wear and tear on the phases will be uneven, then board gets royal screwed.

Seems like Extreme mode, that supposedly balances load on All phases, is the safe bet.

I put a thin 80mm fan that blows upward against the vrm

And is there a way to check the vrm temperature? 😱
----I mean besides, I put my hand on them, and they're burning hot.
----They're burning hot on both the T-probe and Extreme settings.

What do you guys think?
 
VRMs don't get that hot if you have a decent heatsink that comes preinstalled. Adding a fan is just an extravagance. Mine would hover 50-55C max based on the reading I get from my Lamptron FC5v2 which isn't very accurate but should be within a 5C margin of error.

Wear and tear of VRMs are probably the least of your concern as no motherboard will use all of their phases at a given time. The motherboard will utilize the number of phases according to your load.

I use t-probe, and I avoid the "Extreme" setting because when enabled it prevents your the CPU voltage from dropping down to its lower value during idle.

What I found to be interesting is that it pretty much doesn't matter whether I select "Standard" or "Optimized", they both give me the same results.
 
Just make sure you just have them all enabled so they can balance the load. That is all.

I tried t-probe and extreme, neither have an effect on my voltage.. 😵
