I'm running one of these on a cheap board which lacks vrm heatsinks. Have to keep a fan blowing on them or the vrms throttle the processor badly. It's pretty subtle too, after blowing out the CPU heatsink I didn't shove the fans as far down as they could go and throttle-city.

Yeah that's the thing about these, the VRMs have to be well-built, and well-cooled. I use a MSI Tomahawk X570 paired with a 5950X, it's a great mobo! Still get BIOS updates every few months, and the VRMs have large heatsinks + the NB has a fan as well.
