Question Can Asus Prime x370-A handle 5800x3d?

[scubaslim]

I've had my mind set on upgrading my 5700x to a 5800x3d, but I'm wondering if my Asus Prime x370-A motherboard can handle it. It is listed as compatible on the Asus website, but have read in the past the VRM is terrible and can't handle CPUs over 105 watts very well.

Should this stop me from upgrading? The airflow in my case (Rosewill Thor V2) is pretty good.

I mean . . . what's life without a little risk . . . if you've got good cooling & airflow; what's to lose besides a CPU??
