For those curious about 3 series mobos, the latest BIOS update has resolved the issue. Performance testing indicates strong results, with an average gain of approximately 4.3 to 4.4 and stable operation at temperatures near the mid-60s.

X370-Pro offers decent VRM options, though it may get too hot under extended CPU tasks

Contains 6 Texas CSD87350 or equivalent to half a Taichi...

However, I've heard concerns about its ability to manage a heavily overclocked 2700X.

The X470-Pro isn't handling both upgrades since the IR3553 and heatsinks are reduced versions of the X370-Pro. It seems the X370-Pro is simply superior, and Asus aims to boost sales of Strix-F models.

X370-Pro also has many discussions available: https://www.overclock.net/forum/11-amd-m...0-pro.html VRM temperatures exceeding 90°C even with first-gen CPUs, which are more power-saving than second-gen models

All shared links indicate page one, where users note issues with board temperature readings. I regret not reviewing more than 900 pages to address the VRM thermal overheating concern. Asus boards typically display VRM temperatures only on their ROG models, not all Strix boards. If you don’t have a thermal probe positioned at the back of the board near the hottest power stage with a thermal pad, you won’t accurately assess the VRM temperature.

I believed the X370 Pro shared the same VRMs as Strix? Either way, it performs well with solid clock speeds. Really pleased not needing to purchase another motherboard (better than installing one).

I understand the confusion, many believe the X370 includes VRM sensors. Here are some references: Ryzen 1700 1800X Unsure https://www.reddit.com/r/Amd/comments/8q...m_cooling/

40A power stage compared to 60A, meaning Strix remains 50% higher in maximum rating (in practice you'll reach around 35-50% of VRM capacity because of heat)
