    A bit clickbaitey but a good video on why cheaper mobos are not the way to go with the 9900K. Is there a similar issue with the cheaper AMD offerings or are they okay as they tend to stick to TDP?

    I was trying to think why this title looked so weird to me. Then I realised "Clickbate" isn't how I've seen it spelt before. Usually people use "Clickbait". I can see a use for clickbate though... in a triple x sense.

    It's not just budget Z390 boards that people need to be careful with, as on the latest Maximus XI board, Asus went cheap on the VRM power phases by using twin 4 phase instead of an 8 phase like all the other high-end boards.
