I got a commission build for an i9 with MSI MAG Z390 Tomahawk. When I read tomshardware review of the motherboard they didn't recommend it to run the i9. But then I read another review by Bit-tech that the motherboard runs i9 just fine, can even overclock it well but requiring more tuning.
Obviously I've been out of the loop from anything Intel the last 2 years because of Ryzen. But now I got this build request. All I know there's a VRM issue with Z390 boards, but with tomshwardware and Bit-Tech stark difference in review result is quite disturbing.
I posted on MSI forum, probably going to be replied by a representative that will say everything will be fine.
