Considering your options, it's better to choose the more affordable motherboard. A lower-cost board helps stretch your budget further. The processor choice depends on your needs, but the cheaper model won't limit your options as much.

Can't remove anything else? I'd probably have to go with the MSI B450M Pro-VDH Max.

Details likely exist elsewhere, possibly allowing for reductions.

I will purchase only a processor and a motherboard, keeping costs in mind.

It's straightforward—if I want a more expensive motherboard, I need to reduce my processor budget, which means spending around R 5,600.

Using the stock cooler, downdraft coolers, or adding airflow over the VRM heatsink should resolve the issue. The low-end VRM model appears to be functioning with a suitable heatsink.

I'll choose the Gigabyte board just because of the heatsink.

Hardware was unpacked and praised for the original B450m HDV, considered a solid starter board. The hdv r4.0 is described as a budget version lacking the VRM heatsink. Advise against purchasing it. Consider the giga B450m S2H, DS3H, or B450m HDV without R4.0 instead.
