What mobo should I choose

[bladeshredder]

I got two mobos in mind but it’s either the X570 A Pro bit one of the cons is I’ve heard it’s got bad VRMs otherwise I was thinking of getting the X570 gaming plus, I’m not sure if this one has the same issues but if anyone can let me know would be great thanks

I like to stick with MSI boards as they seem reliable but what board msi dose that’s good below 200 I don’t know

MSI doesn't really have anything great for X570 below their Tomahawk.

There seems to be a few tomahawks I don’t suppose you can link me to one at all could you?

There's only 1 X570 Tomahawk.

It's hands-down the best X570 motherboard, the one to beat. It's not overpriced, it has the best features, same VRM as the TUF models.

Would there be any cons switching from a X470 gaming pro and the X570 a pro?

Your current board is better than the X570-A PRO. I told you, it's not worth buying. All of the boards below the TUF, Elite, Tomahawk, etc. have pretty trash VRM and features.

There's also one huge potential con that comes with most X570s boards: the chipset is cooled by an active fan, and if that fan dies, that could be problematic.

If you're only doing this for the Gen4 support because you don't want to return the SSD you bought earlier despite us telling you it was a bad idea, then stop right there and return the SSD and stop wasting your money. Seriously. Gen4 costs twice as much but is only really better on PAPER and in synthetic benchmarks, you will not notice the difference.
If you continue to ignore advice from people who actually know what they're talking about and just do what you want, nobody is going to want to help you because you'll just waste their time.

Out of curiosity what’s the worst that would happen if you got a board with low VRMs anyway?

A few potential problems with bad VRM:
1. Overheating VRM, causing bad performance due to the VRM downclocking your CPU
2. VRM too weak for the CPU (which can be the case for the 3950X)
3. Worse overclocking potential (doesn't just affect CPU, there's SOC VRM which has a hand in RAM)

Ok thanks

Just get a premium B550 board. X570 is rather pointless now.

@ Escorve. X570 Aorus Pro has trashy vrm?? What makes you think so? I bought the board because of the vrm. (There was no 550 board or decent working 450 yet) Maybe some are better. Anyway, I am fully satisfied. So, I leave the "experts among themselves". I'm out.

Don’t care much about all the specs so no hate of what I want to do or get, but I got the X470 gaming pro and because I want to, I want to get the Aorus X570 elite so would this be an exceptional upgrade on the mobo? (Without anyone saying it’s not worth it I still want to get one regardless so keep the hate away and let me know if this would be better or below the X470 gaming pro thanks

[r.linder]

Exceptional? Not really, the upgrade is small.

Well I mean putting the two together would the Aorus be a little better than the X470 atleast?

Not enough to be worth it. Your mobo is fine as is.
