 There are VRM tier lists for most motherboard chipsets.
 [https://linustechtips.com/main/topic/1137619-motherboard-vrm-tier-list-v2-currently-amd-only/ Here] is one for AMD.
-The primary difference between expensive and moderately priced boards are the number of x8 PCIe slots.<br>
-Both Ryzen and Intel consumer CPUs only have x16 dedicated for PCIe and x4 for M.2. Other lanes are shared with the chipset.
-Sometimes, you can tell which boards support 8x/8x by seeing if they two 16x slots with metal shields (for GPUs).
-Other boards will only support 4x on the secondary 16x slots going through the chipset.
