Bear with me please, I don't know a lot about motherboards.
I'm thinking of a Ryzen 3600 or maybe a 3700X and had my eye on the MSI X570 Gaming Edge as a motherboard. But then I saw that Hardware Unboxed comparison video showing that pretty much all the cheaper MSI X570 boards have poor VRMs, resulting in high temperatures and even some thermal throttling.
Sounds pretty dire, but that test was done with a 3900X and I'm looking to buy a 3700X at most. So does it really concern me? Do "bad" VRMs run hotter with any processor, or does the problem only begin to show once you hit high-end CPUs?
