Sorry for bother this community but i was wondering if my Asrock Ab350 Fatality k4 Gamming came faulty or this is normal? VRM STUCKS ON 29 TEMPS even when testing on FIRESTRIKE 3DMARK

I'm attaching only 4 pictures of the HWINFO69, i did a FIRESTRIKE 3D TimeSpy test on Cpu ryzen 5 1600 3.2 ram running on stock 2135 (3200 16-16-16-18/36) and EVGA GPU GTX 1060 6GB


HWINFO69 Pictures:







The thing is that i never play with Voltages only the cpu voltage up from 1.25 to 1.3 something like that and running cpu to 3.8

Same with the Rams just on XMP profile 2.0 3200 mhz 1.35 volts all auto.

I don't see how the VRM reading with HWiNfo64 is accurate. Mine reads 96c and the heatsink is cool; literally nowhere near that temp. 

With regard to the 29c reading, I doubt that's accurate either.

Try F-Stream, on my x370 Gaming k4 the Asrock F-stream software shows the VRM temp correctly.

incorrect reading, my b350 vrm reading are nonsense aswell.
Touch the heatsink. If you can leave your finger on it while feeling hot, it's somewhere around 50c meaning the vrm below is hotter than that.
If you feel like it will burn your finger it's probably over 60c.

As I can see on your hwinfo64 screenshot, I think the VRM sensor is not physically connected on the motherboard.

On my x370 Fatality K4, VRM temps are between 40°C to 65°C depending on CPU load, and can be as high as 80°C while stress testing. All readings with hwinfo64.

As other said, touch the VRM heatsinks. If you can leave your finger on it for more than 3 seconds without feel you are in flames, temps are fine.

LIke the CPU UP to 70 C full. and when i did touch that metals as showed in the picture, my finger didnt burn, i mean i can leave the fingers like 15-20 seconds without harms... but i dont know probably the temps were between 50-60C? i guess i dont know xD

No, they are right below the heatsink.
So touch the heatsink.

to be fair
usually they get as hot in ratio to the actual vrms if things are going wrong

maybe due to some conductance of heat ?

i know at least on my old phenom board the chokes got as hot as the vrm chips
(must get around to uploading a picture of the frankenstien heatsinks i made for that board)
