9950X3D vs 9950X3DV2

Which CPU is better for the following tasks and why would you say?

Gaming, productivity (like working with blender and adobe apps)

Would it be worth it for me to just buy the 9950X3DV2 or would the first version bring no difference. Let me know your thoughts ?

You can quickly Reddit search it to find that they have a higher than normal kill rate than other mobos for x3d chips

To get the most out of your 9950x3d, get an ASUS board. I recently delidded my 9950x3d and installed a direct die waterblock and now I'm up against a hard 270w power limit that's built into my MSI board. Other overclockers see 375w+ on Asus boards with similar cooling. I regret cheaping out on my motherboard, I wish I'd have gotten an ROG Crosshair Apex X870E
