That VRM heatsink is the exact same as RGB on gamer boards - it's just there to look the part. It's not a good heatsink design at all. The purpose of it is mostly to "look professional" not to be non-sense function. If it was really function-first it'd be thin-fins with a bigger gap between them to aid in airflow between the fins.
- amiga-workbench 7y agoI'd prefer a completely regular black anodised heatsink without any "design" but that's the closest any current board gets to it. Supermicro server boards are about as utilitarian as you can get, with off the shelf heatsinks slapped on them, its only the consumer gear that wastes money on this stuff.
