Question Cheapest AM5 motherboard that can run AMD 9950X without any issues (no overclocking planned)

[newtechldtech]

Hello,

I am looking for the Cheapest AM5 motherboard that can run AMD 9950X without any issues (no overclocking planned) ... any thoughtful ideas?

What is the lowest mosfet needed for the 16 cores CPU to run in turbo mode without any issues? . no manual overclocking is planned.

I dont care about any extra features , like PCIe Gen 5 slots , or i/o .

Cheap/budget is a relative term. Where are you located, what is your preferred site for purchase and what is your budget? You should also mention the make and model of your case so we don't have any clearance issues.

That board's VRM's would cook themselves trying to run a 9950x.

You missed "the without any issues" part.

Without any problem I ran 5900x for 1 year with an ashrock b550m pro4, the motherboard worked with 3100, 3600xt, 5900x and continues to work for more than 4 years now with a 5600 without any problems at all.
The friend is asking for a cheap one, without overclocking as he mentions

Just to work is one thing, to work to full ability is quite another thing, to OC modern CPUs calls for extreme VRM.
Although 9950x is advertised for 170W TDP, at full tilt it will use up to 220W of electrical power. That can provide only x670/870MBs. Typical b650 up to 180W.

You recommended a cheap A620 chipset motherboard. not even B650 , and you then compare it to B550 which is better class than Axx chipset. so your comparison is not scientific at all. more over , you dont even mention the VRM at all and I assume that you dont know anything about the VRM temps of that motherboard using 16 cores CPU with full turbo mode.

Besides this thread should be closed , I chosen the best Answer. there is no need to call others or to be rude saying "dont be the smart one"

His answer is scientific and what i wanted to hear . your answer has zero science or knowledge in it.

CPU support list does not mean the CPU will run in full Turbo mode "continuous" , if the motherboard heats up , the frequency will decrease .

The Motherboard you recommended has :

MOSFETs VCORE: 5x 46A 4C10N/4C06N (High-/Low-Side)
MOSFETs SOC/VCCGT : 2x 46A 4C10N/4x 4C06N (High-/Low-Side)

your old B550 motherboard has :

MOSFETs CPU (VCORE) : 12x 55A SM4337/SM4336
MOSFETs SoC (VCCGT) : 4x 55A SM4337/SM4336

so how you compare the two ? one 46A and the other 55A
AND 12x , 4x VS 5x, 2x ???

CLEAR ? this is SCIENCE !

Please close the thread. Thank you. the best answer is chosen.

if you put water cooling or a good air cooler, nothing happens.What the friend is asking for is like buying a Ferrari and putting wheels and tires from Zastava Yugo. The scientists are at NASA.

It's VRM you have to worry about, not CPU cooling. If VRM can't supply enough power, CPU can't work at it's best.

When the manufacturer provides support for a specific processor, it means that VRM are also supported (this is my opinion)
I know very well what it is and what is needed, but when someone wants to spend an amount on 4 out of 5 things and skimps on the last one, I will not discuss it, the specific processor wants a motherboard of 300 euros or dollars and above

MB manufacturers state support for specific CPUs at their nominal power, socket, chipset and BIOS compatibility, not at full power requirement.
But.... yeah, all should be matched for things to work properly although for easier and cheaper upgrade of let's say CPU it would be better to get oversized MB, cooling and PSU.

You might want to rewind back to bulldozer era motherboard's. All boards had shown support for higher TDP FX processors but in reality, they all burned out or worse, put limits in place to avoid the VRM's or the processors from conking out. The most recent one was AM5 processor's high SoC voltages out of the box, until a BIOS update was released.

One last thing, civility doesn't cost anything.
