AMD Ryzen 7 8700G on the MSI PRO A620M-E

On the MSI PRO A620M-E, the AMD Ryzen 7 8700G runs at 30 % of the board's 289 W sustained power capacity, which puts the VRM at an estimated 58 °C and leaves clocks untouched.

There is a full write-up for this pairing once it reaches the publication queue. Until then, everything the engine knows about it is on this page.

Power delivery

88 W of 289 W · 6 × 55 A true
Each bar is one Vcore power stage, filled to the share of its capacity this processor asks for. The dashed line is the 85 % mark where our model starts predicting clock loss.

There is real headroom here. The MSI PRO A620M-E is rated for roughly 289 W of continuous core power and the AMD Ryzen 7 8700G draws 88 W once a ten-minute render settles, so the power stages spend their time well inside their comfortable range. An estimated 58 °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 — 6 of them at 55 A, each driven by its own controller channel — and derating for a thin heatsink that helps at idle more than under load, the MSI PRO A620M-E holds roughly 289 W indefinitely. The AMD Ryzen 7 8700G asks for 88 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 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 7 8700G 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.
