I am a miner since 2016, i have decently large farm for GPU mining, just never CPU mined myself. I have always bought the cheapest rams, hdd, motherboards and never had any issues. Do you have definite proof, statistics, that cheaper motherboards are more faulty than the more expensive ones? (they have a lot of useless components that can get faulty that you absolutely dont need for mining).
I have different philosophy and that is to have as much as capital allocated to assets that actually atribute to hashrate. Maybe this is not evident if you build one rig, but when you built 20 of them, by thinking like this, it makes a huge difference.
I havent looked up any statistics if cheaper motherboards are more faulty.
But what i want to express is not cheaper or more expensive but what the motherboard is designed for , example the vrms , putting a 3900x on the MSI A320M motheboard is just asking for trouble, no heatsink on the vrms. Simply said A320s are not designed for this amount of highend highcurrent cpus.
If you wanna go for the msi a320s then i wouldnt go with anything else then 3600s.
Here you have some intresting reading to do about am4 motherboards and vrms etc etc:

Sure thanks for feedback, the link is full of information. Will check on it, for sure you can install heatsink yourself
