Just wondering, only if yours isn't functioning correctly or is it an upgrade situation. I see them for sale and don't know,,, just that they regulate voltage.. I guess to protect the processor,, thanks for any input on this subject,,, :confused:

Short for voltage regulator module, a small module that installs on a motherboard to regulate the voltage fed to the microprocessor. Nearly all motherboards have either a built-in voltage regulator or a VRM, the only difference being that the VRM is replaceable.

They were required on the old Pentium Pro dual processor systems.
