    ASRock X570 Phantom Gaming 4 is it a good board for 5950x (VRMs etc...?)

    Hello I have 5950x and Im looking for a board for this CPU. I was going to buy Gigabyte X570S UD but its no longer in the shops (at least in my country), sadly. I liked the 3x m.2 slots there (ALL PCIe 4.0 x4 (!)) (not PCIe 3.0)... And its cheap price. Now my only contender among x570 boards is...
