    Hi Folks,

    In the middle of ordering parts. I thought I had my mobo choice locked down. Then I decided on a colour scheme and looked at different z390 mobos.

    MPG-Z390-GAMING-PLUS (Original Choice)
    https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/MPG-Z390-GAMING-PLUS/Overview

    mag-z390-tomahawk
    https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/mag-z390-tomahawk

    I read about power delivery not being up-to-scratch on the Tomahawk and can't achieve high overclocks?

    I really like that board so it would be a shame if it's limited. My goal is to OC an i5 9600K to ~5GHz

    Does anybody know about power delivery of either board? and if I can get a good OC on the Tomahawk?

    Thanks for the advice.

    I have the Tomahawk and 4.8Ghz is perfectly stable.

    Thanks for the reassurance. Is there anything the MPG board has over the Tomahawk?

    I never even gave mobo features a second look back when I built my last rig (i5 2500K :pac:) Now it's like oooh metal details, RGB, M2, USB-C
