Sufficient board for 9700k+5700 xt

Go to solution Solved by Sorenson,

It's a decently reviewed motherboard so you should be fine. All core boost isn't a very taxing overclock. If you're worried you can combine the all core turbo boost with a negative vcore offset to reduce the power the CPU draws while boosting. 

 

I was able to get my 9700k set to 4.8 all core boost with a -.02 vcore offset. I could probably do more, but the temps are fine, the cpu is stable, and the difference of 1-200 mhz more is so minor. 

So I plan on running a 9700k with all core turbo instead of 1 or 2, and a 5700xt either red devil nitro, or red dragon and was wondering if the z390 gaming edge ac is sufficient by msi.
