Dual-CPU motherboard VRM Question

[rabidz7]

Do dual-CPU motherboards have two sets of VRMs? I ask because my board, the H8DGI, only has one VRM heatsink. I really hope it doesn't have another VRM on it that is not cooled.

Also, if it does have a second bare VRM, would it be possible to watercool it with a universal VRM block?

They can, it's also fully possible that both banks are under one heatsink.

This is my board: http://server-bau-shop.de/shop/images/product_images/original_images/h8dgi-f.jpg

Is the bank of VRMs near the top-right socket a CPU VRM or something else?

The exposed black square chips near the CPU power taps on the top-right are chokes, if I'm not mistaken, with the line of grey chips being the MOSFETs. I also think that there is only one voltage regulator on this particular mobo. The documentation simplay calls it a "6-phase CPU switching regulator." Not much else can be found.

Another question: does the H8DGI have a VRM temperature sensor?
