Hello good people, i just got a great deal, 120€ for a new and unopened 9900K. I intend to overclock it using a Noctua NH-D15 when it arrives. What is the cheapest ATX mobo, which has VRMs that allow me to unleash the full potential of the 9900K under air cooling? I don't need any special IO or features like Wifi, etc... It's only about the VRM, as long as it has at least 6 USB ports on the back. Thanks in advance!

Gigabyte offered top-quality VRM on budget Z390 models, according to some sources.

I run an Aorus Ultra Z390. The i9 9900k runs at 5ghz across all cores (1.27v) with a single Noctua NH-D15 fan. I wouldn’t lower it to an Aorus Elite for boosting the i9 9900k.

Check if any Gigabyte Z390 Aorus models are available.

I think I'll choose the Aorus Elite, according to Buildzoid, since it matches exactly what I need. It's the most affordable board with decent VRMs for the 9900K. All the other aspects also seem suitable. Appreciate the guidance!
