Hey everyone! I have an older PC with a 3700x powered by an Asus Prime B450M-K (Rev 1) motherboard. I've heard that the VRM isn't the best on this board, but I'm curious if it could still manage a 5950x, especially for some heavy creative tasks, though I wouldn't be overclocking it. What are your thoughts?

Honestly, definitely not a chance with that setup.
The VRMs on that board aren't robust at all. It would struggle with anything more than a 5700x3d or 5800x3d during regular gaming, which isn't even that heavy. A 5950x for heavy creative work? Absolutely not.
I really don't think it can handle a 5950x, especially for those intense workloads. That motherboard is just not built for it.
