Scores are fit-for-purpose: a capable board can top the gaming score without being the most expensive. Each factor is judged against what AM4 processors can use, so the score compares this board with the others you could buy for the same chip.
Weighs CPU power delivery, memory speed support, the GPU PCIe slot, Wi-Fi version, and M.2 storage — the things that actually matter for a gaming build.

CPU power
288 W
Overbuilt · 2.0x
Wired for about 288 W, roughly 2.0x the 142 W that the top Ryzen 9 chips pull, so nothing on this socket will run it short of power. The figure comes from its 2x4+2 power-stage (VRM) layout and 8+4 EPS connectors. It is a rating of what the board is built to deliver, not a measurement, so treat it as headroom rather than a guarantee.
