If I had to guess, it's most likely very similar to the A Pro.

It's decent, though for $150 I'd probably look for a B550 Aorus Elite.

And it is in Stock. You mentioned VRM in another post. Is this up to par

The power delivery on the B550 Gaming Plus is better than anything you can get on B450, if that's what you're referring to. The VRMs on the Elite ATX are even better.

Either way, both of these should be capable of running a 3950X, though with the Gaming Plus I'd probably keep it at stock speeds.

well it is only going to be a 3600 so that is not an issue. I just need it here ASAP

Then whatever is in stock out of the MSI B450 boards I mentioned in your last post or these two B550 boards will be more than adequate.

Man I am about to pull my hair out. Turns out that board is on back order and no guarantee that it will be in stock soon. I am going nuts here.
