Board Recommendations

[5GigsOrBust]

Need some help deciding between two boards for a 9900k. My main concern is the VRM quality, power delivery, and overclocking potential of the board. Wanted to see if anyone had any experience with one of these boards and would recommend it.

Yes I already have it. And I didn't spend much on it. Just trying to find a decent board now

Any Gigabyte Z390 Aorus board (Elite, Pro(wifi), Ultra or Master). The Z390 Designare is also perfectly good as well if you want more of a content creators board. Not sure what it is like for overclocking, but the VRM will handle a 9900K as will all the Aorus boards.
