MSI sent me a new X570-A PRO motherboard after the original one became bricked.

My R5 3600 processor works much better on it than on the X470 Gaming Plus

So now that my box is back in business I will be handling some video rendering and conversions so it should be interesting to see how well the AMD LED based Wraith Stealth cooler which is intended for the higher power processors. I bought the cooler mainly as I wanted to be able to run my processor for hours and keep it very cool.

With 32GB of memory I have lots available for pretty much any work that surfaces.

So when you say your R5 works better what do you mean. Is performance different or just stability or what?

Not sure what was up with the X470 but power savings would not work, UEFI would not work and lots of other problems.

Well at least the new one is working. That's a good thing!

Not sure why the problems galore. I did an extensive amount of work to figure it out.

Even my X470 with my R5 2400G was a problem and that should not be but is. So 2 processors? Obviously that board needs to be sent back.
