AMD Ryzen 5 4500 on the Gigabyte B550 Aorus Elite AX V2
The AMD Ryzen 5 4500 holds its clocks on the Gigabyte B550 Aorus Elite AX V2: the board's 12 Vcore stages carry about 574 W and the processor asks for 85 W in a sustained all-core load, which is 15 % of capacity and an estimated 48 °C at the VRM.

Power delivery
There is real headroom here. The Gigabyte B550 Aorus Elite AX V2 is rated for roughly 574 W of continuous core power and the AMD Ryzen 5 4500 draws 85 W once a ten-minute render settles, so the power stages spend their time well inside their comfortable range. An estimated 48 °C is the kind of VRM temperature that never appears in a log, and the board will not be the reason a benchmark run finishes slower than it started.
Counting only the stages that feed the core rail — 12 of them at 50 A, teamed in pairs off a shared controller channel — and derating for a solid block across both banks, the Gigabyte B550 Aorus Elite AX V2 holds roughly 574 W indefinitely. The AMD Ryzen 5 4500 asks for 85 W of that, and at boost it can reach 88 W.
Buy it on the rest of the specification rather than on power delivery, because at 15 % of capacity the VRM has stopped being the interesting variable. Count the M.2 slots you need, check the rear ports against what you actually plug in, and let the Gigabyte B550 Aorus Elite AX V2's 12 stages get on with it.
