what do you think of that board. I was planning a full rebuild but the miserable sod in me doesn't want to pay for pci-e 4 lanes that i'll likely never use so giving serious consideration to just nabbing a 470/450 board before they go eol and get gouged to fekking bits.
Ah, yes, the video you linked was highlighting that as the best of the B450 boards from a VRM pov. Still wonder if I might be pushing it with the 16 core & really only looking at the 16-core tbh.
best B450 board for VRM is the asus b450 strix-e

but it is more expensive than the msi b450 carbon ac

Strix-f is £115.
technically it's a bit more as the delivery charges from the site that sells it for £115 is £15Both are £115.
b450 strix-f VRM is trash though
Soldato
Ah yes. No doubt about that. But tbh, better off spending an extra £15 for the strix-e and be good for 16 cores

The B550 and A520 based motherboards are being released in 2020:

thing is that even the poverty x570 will have better vrms compared to these...
^^^This, if you're considering getting the flagship 3950x and working all cores - i would want the security of bottom tier x570 over a top tier b450 for the sake of 'possibly' ~£60 difference.
As is hopefully should, it's the second best 'full' ATX b450 (VRMs) on the market.

Did he mention the x470 ultra gaming for 12 or 16 core?
I agree its no real biggy but I'd love to build a new rig with X570 assuming the board is SLI/Xfire capable. If the mobos that will allow the CPU to really
shine is >£200 then I'm concerned. I could, but really don't want to, buy an X470 for a 3900X CPU. I don't want any constraints on the CPU and worry that other than PCIE4 the mobo might be gimped in other ways (VRMs etc) that would hold back performance. I'd be happy with X470 for 3800X but anything more than the 3800X I'll wait and see but would definitely prefer X570.
I'd just like an X570 mobo without ANY RGB **** or wifi or anything other than the a couple of M2 slots and 2x PCIE 4 X16 or 1xPCIE4 x16, 1XPCIE3 X16.
I really don't want to yet again spend money on features I don't and never have used. I guess we all can dream...
To clarify I did say "'hopefully' should" - i would certainly want to strap on a premium cooler if using 3900X with a Pro Carbon. If you didn't need the 12 cores the board would be more comfortable with a 3800X.
