Thanks. I was leaning towards the ASrock due to all the videos about it saying it overclocks good with relatively low voltages

Asrock has a cleaner BIOS interface.  Last MSI board I bought for Ryzen took two months longer to get the AGESA 1.0.0.6 update.  I've been super pleased with my Asrock X370 Taichi.

Well, I just noticed that the ASrock's color is shitty lol. I would've gone with the MSI if the issues were minor. Seems like they're not.
Did tom_w141 get a notification because you mentioned him. I'm new here, so idk.

The cheapest Asus board here is the Prime B350m-A which costs about 25 USD more here. The ASrock one seems a lot more appealing to me with that price. The only thing that I think will even matter to me which is better with the Asus one is probably looks. Gigabyte's AB350m Gaming 3 seems more appealing in that case to me.
