That board has 12 phases and 300 W over 12 phases at 1.2 V is around 20 amps for each phase ... and it seems either a) those mosfets at 105C loaded with 20 amps lose their efficiency and skylake x throttles b) they heat up the whole socket and cpu throttles
Either way those boards are ready for phases using integrated power stages that can do 30 amps up to 130C ... beats me why they cheaped out in that area when those are norm these days
Each VRM phase for the VCore or Input Voltage and System Agent uses an IR3555M 60A fully integrated PowIRstage which are best in class. Each PWM phase is doubled by an IR3599 doubler/quadruple.

The motherboard's VRM is also using best in class power stages and PWM, but I am unsure of the current capabilities of the inductors, and the VRM is five phases doubled to ten.
