Avoid Asus like the plague as of late. They have been really screwing people over during RMAs.

When paring up with a 16cores 32 threads CPU like 7950x/9950x/9950x3d, both board VRMs heat up over 110 degree C but this board also reduce the performance of CPU by about 15%.
So MSI Pro B650-S one is the better one out of the two.

If you only use a 6 cores 12 threads CPU like 7400f/7500f/8400f/7600/7600x/9600x, then it doesn't matter. They are about the same.

Prob going to get a Jginyue ITX board from AliExpress for about $80. These prices are ridiculous for smallish heatsinks

Asus is in the same category as NZXT, Disgusting behavior....

They will literally hold your repair for ransom, and LIE about fixing components that are not broken.

Yeah it's really sad as they used to be the best. 10 years ago I wouldn't think of running any other manufacturers motherboard.

Asus is that brand that usually has great stuff...If it doesn't break. Then you will wish you bought from any other manufacturer.
