Depends on your budget , gigabytes entry z390 for £120 performs better then most z390 at £50 cheaper and better then all but two of gigabyte z370 . If doing avx or workloads

Always helps if you're going to go to the lengths of a 30 minute dissection, that you actually test any discernible difference. This is why VRM marketing is lost on most users.

It's word of mouth that's a killer . 90% of people don't understand but when they are thinking of building their first PC or first upgrade.. Google and forums have power to changes people's buying habits etc .
Ultra z370 hurt gigabyte bad, tom.at OCD went on a personalll.mission to slate Ultra 2.0 after first version and then posted up on OCUK promo deals , but then kept quite on Asus z390 VRMs . Influence is a powerful thing . Vendors now realising Buildzoid is critical ... Should see this soon with more vendors giving him boards then having users send him them or pictures..
Can't always call it right without the physical board
