So I stumbled upon this youtube video by Hardware Unboxed, showing how hot the MSI VRM is running under overclocking condition
I'm in the market to replace my MSI B450M Mortar for some future proofing until next iteration of AMD socket. My budget is around US$250-300, and funny enough, all of mainstream X570 board in my country is in the price range. I was eyeing MSI MPG Gaming Edge Wi-FI and then saw the video.... And like... Yikes.
The Gaming Edge Wi-Fi VRM runs second hottest and gives me the jeebies below MSI Gaming Pro Carbon. Yet, Asus Prime X-570-P, the cheapest one in my country VRM runs very cool compared to both MSI boards, despite having flimsier looking VRM heatsinks.
Arguably I'm not going to overclock, but I do MIGHT (emphasize on the word) goes for the 3950X which the Hardware Unboxed guy didn't recommend running it on the Gaming Pro Carbon for fear of throttling.
So, any suggestion whether to go through with MSI Gaming Edge or just buy the Asus Prime X570-P? The next price bracket jumps straight to US$400 which is out of my budget.
