Thanks for the responses. I agree and purchased my motherboard to take VRM issues into account. It was just some of the previous responses to the initial poster inferred that the motherboards weren't even good enough to run stock of which I wanted to highlight, the answer was then confirmed by...

I'm no motherboard engineer nor do I own all the models listed above, but it seems odd that a motherboard wouldn't support the chips it was explicitly created to support, at stock. Personally I can recommend the b450 mortar for a 2700x.

Should be fine for web browsing and 1080p content !

Yep. The CPU is an old model and the Nvidia card does not support hw acceleration. Only 1050+ Pascal models are supported for 4k (Netflix) playback. https://nvidia.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/4583/~/4k-uhd-netflix-content-on-nvidia-gpus YouTube 4k vp9 is barely supported yet on any gfx...

I'd echo the intelligent statement above. There is no point debating anything past the funky PSU on this particular issue. The FPS is never import enough to risk safety.

Just noticed this was a super old post. D'oh

I use a XPS 15, 8th gen convertible quad core laptop at work which handles everything I throw at it (financial trading applications and other fairly resource heavy uses). My 2015 i7 4th gen quad core model however is equally as adept for most similar workloads. Its surprising that those day...

It's worth checking reviews which measure thermal throttling of the laptop. Many come with super fast sounding i7, i9 4-5ghz turbo boost CPUs which then throttle to pedestrian speeds after a few seconds (MacBook Pro). The workstation class laptops typically seem to hold up better according to...

Sorry to read about your recent disablement. I hope you are receiving the support you need. I recognise you didn't ask about these items but- It might be worth selling the optane drive for some extra gfx £. They're meant for speeding up HDD boot drives rather than nvme. Best practice also is...

I've been very happy with the mATX MSI Mortar. Stable and easy to configure, however didn't keep game stable at 3600 ram. Had to use 3466. Otherwise great.

Check out the manufacturer website for the amount of fan headers per board. My MSI B450 has more than two, but I don't utilise.

If you don't know the seller or their track record then it's a lottery. I always try to buy the seller, rather than the product.

I run crucial 3600 ram at 3466 without issue on a MSI Mortar B450 board. There is typically an XMP profile associated with the RAM that gives you the diff frequency options. As long as your timings and voltage are as manufacturers spec and the ram is supported by the motherboard approved memory...
