Well reviewed barebones X570 board which handles thermals well.
Also available if you wanted to spend a bit less on a B450 MAX for $154.70

Looks like the VRM on this mobo is decent according to here: https://i.redd.it/2iwdy5wrrly31.png
Yea apparently a bit "too" good if you compare it to ASUS's higher end boards… Good to know you can always step up to a 3900x or 3950x probably in the future. Thought the $60 premium over the B450 max was worth it given the pcie 4.0 which may come in handy down the line
The VRM cooling isn't great on it though
can we use gift cards for these coupon code deals?
Yes I did
The Asus TUF Gaming X570-Plus WiFi is also a pretty decent deal. Probably the best VRM design and performance of the affordable X570 boards. Note this is only important if you're getting a 3900X or 3950X. Every X570 should be able to handle the 3600X or 3700X just fine while overclocking. You'd actually probably be better off getting a B450 board with the 3700X and below.

Yea I would have gotten the tuf wifi if i needed wifi but for almost $100 cheaper i decided on this. b450 would have been cheaper but I like to know I have options with pcie 4.0 later on
You can also look at the MSI B450 Gaming Pro Carbon AC.
It doesn't come with updated bios but does include bios flashback. It's got WiFi and an Intel NIC.
Looks to be out of stock now
Hmm this or the X470 Gaming plus MAX
