B450 Aorus Pro Wifi inquiry.

[userpp88]

Is there any reason for me not to get the B450 Gigabyte Aorus Pro Wifi board? I love the features it offers for its price point, but i've seen reviews where it doesn't seem to have the best VRM setup available and might overheat. That said, i don't plan on pushing it to its max ...some moderate gaming and everyday tasks at the most. Planning on putting in a 2600 chip and maybe a rtx1060ti. I'd love to hear some thoughts from someone with possibly first hand knowledge of the board.

For price and features, I don't see any reason why you shouldn't get it. I built a system with the same exact motherboard and I've never heard any issues from that client of mine.

Underwhelming VRM on that board......... Provided you're not pushing substantial OC's, and you have halfway decent airflow in the case, it should be fine.

Pushing an R7 2700X might not be the best idea on that board, but moderate 2600 OCing should be fine (assuming halfway decent airflow).

Ultimately, there's not a lot of OCing headroom on a 2600, or any other Ryzen chip. I expect the board should be totally adequate for your use case.

As others have said the VRMs are not the no-unless you are planning to do a really aggresive overclock though it will not be an issue. I'm more interested in your rtx 1060ti though 😛 sounds like one of a kind

Yeah lol, I remember having a 660Ti in the past but I don't think they even continued to release Ti versions of the 60 series like was there even a 760 Ti?

I think there was a 760ti but it was part of OEM systems-not sure how much different it was from a regular 760 though.
