MOBO Help (Prime Pro)

Hi!

 

I am very soon ordering my new PC, yet I still have a small dillema on which x570 motherboard to choose.

I am going with the Ryzen 9 3950x and 64GB 3200Mhz memory. I have seen the Motherboard megathread.

 

Currently I am considering the Asus Prime x570-Pro, for the sole reason of it being a black/white colorway, which matches my PC build.

My question is, would this board be good enough? I am not planning on doing hardcore overclocking (some light tuning only), but I am unsure what would be the main downside of me choosing this board?

Is this board fine with a 3950x and is there a possiblity it will become a bottleneck for certain things?

 

Thanks in advance!

the prime pro is excellent performer, it will be good. You can overclock pretty high with that motherboard too. 

I Use my knowledge as business owner and self taught technician aswell as an AI to help people. AI might be controversial but it actually works pretty well 90% of the time.

Yeah it'll be good for a 3950X even with PBO enabled, it's a solid choice.
