The other key areas that are worth focussing on though comes down to VRM temperatures, which can differ wildly depending on the amount, the capacity of the current that can pass through them, and of course how the various heatsinks handle that power, which in turn, creates heat.
VRM Temperatures
The VRM temperatures are a little on the high-end, but I’m typically happy so long as they stay under 80c. There was clearly no sign of CPU performance being throttled either, so the board is well-built to sustain these loads. Plus, this is after 1 hour of Prime95 absolutely pummeling the CPU, and if you’re a gamer, you’re unlikely to ever see temperatures pushed this hard.
