The combo also includes a 1TB Kingston NV2 Nvme drive. Had it in my cart earlier, but the board went out of stock. It's back now apparently. :toast:

I'm looking at the board. Looks like anemic VRM but should be fine for that 5700X3D.

What part of these VRM's look anemic to you?

Gaming Plus might be lower end, but it has great VRMs/cooling:

This part:

They had plenty of room for more, they just didn't

You're focused on things that don't matter. Here's the VRM temps with an overclocked 16 core cpu after a one hour blender load test:

Seriously, Blender at 4.3GHz, measuring only the pcb backside, probably with his other thumb up his ass...

I have a board with similar config that couldn't survive folding@home with a 5950X at stock without throttling. Had to put that one on a Taichi.

Regardless, it's probably good enough board for those 65w and 6 cores SKUs.

At 4.4ghz/1.35v (HUB tested at 4.3ghz) the 3950x draws 250 watts running Blender - tested by GN:

Stock, the 5950X draws 120 watts running Blender - tested by GN:

So, you're saying:
1) The MSI B550 Gaming Plus VRM's throttle at 120 watts even though it didn't go over 71c, so no throttling, with a 250 watt power draw running Blender for an hour.
2) High profile people who make a living testing motherboard VRM's and are known for accuracy are wrong and only you are correct.

I'm saying 1) you are a thread necromancer, as this deal expired. 2) you are too emotionally attached to this hardware that you probably will never own anyway 3) Gamers Nexus are not engineers 4) PCB temp isn't VRM temp 5) I actually owned and tested another MSI board with similar VRM 6) I'm a nuke ET and if you know what that is then you know where you are on the knowledge food chain.
