So, i'm no expert when it comes to compare Motherboards, so i can't really tell whats the difference between these two motherboards;

 

Asus Prime Z390-A ATX vs Asus Prime Z390-P

Besides some minor features, the important thing when comparing motherboards these close, isn't the heat dissipation?

some difference in i/o

some difference in sata ports layout on the board

the VRM heatsink on the z390-a looks like it has SLIGHTLY more surface area but would make a very marginal difference

mostly just aesthetics

There has to be more to it, that can't be reason enough for the price difference on all these variants of Z390 models
