AMD Ryzen 5 8600G on the MSI PRO A620M-E
Pairing the AMD Ryzen 5 8600G with the MSI PRO A620M-E puts 88 W through a 289 W power stage array — 30 % of what the board holds — for an estimated VRM temperature of 58 °C and no measurable clock loss.

Power delivery
This pairing is not close to any limit. 88 W against 289 W of capacity leaves the MSI PRO A620M-E running its stages at 30 % load, and our model puts the VRM at 58 °C in a closed case. Nothing about the AMD Ryzen 5 8600G pushes this board into the region where clocks start dropping.
The MSI PRO A620M-E carries 6 Vcore power stages rated 55 A each, each driven by its own controller channel, with a thin heatsink that helps at idle more than under load. That works out to about 289 W of sustained core power once the design and the cooling are accounted for, which is the number the AMD Ryzen 5 8600G's 88 W is measured against.
Buy it on the rest of the specification rather than on power delivery, because at 30 % 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 MSI PRO A620M-E's 6 stages get on with it.
Note: PCIe 5.0 from the CPU runs at 4.0 speeds here
The AMD Ryzen 5 8600G provides PCIe 5.0 lanes but the MSI PRO A620M-E wires its slots for PCIe 4.0. Nothing stops working; a Gen 5 SSD simply runs at Gen 4 speed, which no game notices.
