Mobo for ryzen 5 1600?

[SnepOne]

Guys could u suggest me some mobos for ryzen 5 1600/x cpu? Im planning to buy a z or x series mobo. Any thoughts on this one https://www.coolblue.be/nl/product/769857/asus-prime-x370-pro.html#open

Thank u

the x370 platform is well if looking to overclock to the maximum potential, but not all x370 motherboards are capable.

b/ab350 are for cost efforts for nominal overclocking.

the asus pro is a good foundation for OCing

there are no z boards for ryzen at this moment.

for cost, the 1600 (nonX) is the best value as the OC potential is similar. and use the money saved towards best RAM pricing.

if not OCing, the the X can yield best performance out-of-the-box experience.

 

RAM is a cluster to nail. getting the ryzen on the 2933MHz or higher is best for performance, but RAM pricing might obscure that and you'll have to settle for a bit of a performance hit.

Hero 6 is the best hands down but ryzen chip it's self is the limitation not the board so u will likely get same results for oc with a b350 tomahawk as a hero6

Not true. I have managed 0.1-0.05 GHz more overclock on the same just chip just by changing to more high-end VRM (on a higher motherboard)

U got an extra 1ghz lol ? Or even .5ghz

U mean u got an extra 100 MHz ?

thats probly due to better llc

If nothing else has changed recently, the Asus Prime B350-Plus was one of the better B350 boards. I got 4.0 GHz on my 1600X using that board and it wasn't fussy at all. It's currently $95 on Amazon.

Right now the B350's would be the best option as new AM4 motherboards are about to come out and X370 boards don't overclock any more than B350's.
