Question Motherboard for Ryzen 9 7950x - Suggestions?

[jensF]

Hello!

I have been looking at different boards for the Ryzen 9 7950x and i have never had such a rough time deciding.

Essentially I don't care about the chipset variants as they don't need any of the features this time around.

What I am mostly concerned about with the lower end models are the VRMs.

Environment:
-The CPU will be running at full continuos load CPU, or atleast above 80%.
-I will do custom cooling and strip the existing VRM and Chipset heatsinks.

My requirements are:

1. Two GPU slots - As a game developer i need access to both AMD and NVIDIA.
2. Space for a SFP+ PCIe 3.0 x 4 card(x8 would be even better for QFSP+ later)
3. 1x USB C.
4. Preferably NO RGB

The Asus PRIME X670-P matches my specs, but it looks somewhat low on the VRM side. It is really stupid that even with these very low criteria the prices are absolutely bunkers.

Any thoughts and suggestions will be greatly appreciated!

what do you mean low on VRM side 😵, those VRMs would handle your CPU like nothing, unless you want do some overclocking record with LN2 cooling, you wont need better VRM
