Hello everyone, looking for guidance on choosing between the B650M Gigabyte Gaming X-AX and the ASUS TUF Gaming B650M-E Wi-Fi. Only two options are available locally. I’m planning to install a 7600X and want to know which offers better VRM cooling, performance, and compatibility for future upgrades, including running the 7950X smoothly.

Both models should work smoothly with the 7950x, though I’d prefer the ASUS TUF. My experience with the ATX version of the TUF B650 shows it performs well with AM5 CPUs in many builds. You’re unlikely to make a mistake here—both options are solid choices.

I haven't relied on as many gigabyte boards as @Hinjima does with TUF. I'll share my experience with the ones I own. As he mentioned, both are solid. The B650 seems overkill compared to older models. You should be able to handle future generations easily unless AMD decides otherwise.

I've set up several systems using the B650 Aorus Elite AX and haven't faced any issues, performing just as smoothly as the ASUS TUF. In short, it's hard to tell the difference between the two while using them. This is exactly what you're looking for in a motherboard.
