Been planning a new build around an X3D CPU and thought picking the best motherboard for gaming would be the easy part. Yeah not really.

Like every thread says something different.  Some ppl say VRM matters a ton, others say it doesn’t for X3D.
Some swear by certain chipsets, others say it’s overkill. And then you throw MFFPC into the mix and now thermals + spacing become a whole other issue.

I just want something stable that doesn’t run hot or need constant tweaking lol.

How are you guys deciding on the best motherboard for gaming right now? Especially for smaller builds.
