Measured

VRM temperature under CPU load
56°C4Reviewprofesionalreview.comRead 14 October 2026Core Ultra 9 285K at stock settings (PL1=PL2=250 W, CPU average 231 W), Corsair iCUE H150i ELITE LCD cooler, CPU stress test. HWiNFO board VRM sensor read 56 C at full stock load, a FLIR One thermal camera read 67 C on the outside of the VRM. The sensor reading is stored, since the camera sees the heatsink surface. Stress test tool, duration and ambient temperature are not stated. With unlocked power limits and 330 W the MOSFETs stayed under 74 C.
