Been thinking about getting another AM4 board for two reasons:

1, I want to try a suicide overclock on a 3000G when I get one

2, I want something to run my 3600 (at stock) in longer term as my Asrock B450 ITX doesn't seem compute stable if running under load 24/7.

 

So... as contradictory as it sounds, it should be a cheap board, have good power delivery, stable under sustained CPU loads, don't care about size or chipset used (a previous gen high end board on sale could be interesting). I have access to older CPUs in case a bios update is needed to support Zen 2 CPUs. "Cheap" in this sense doesn't mean it has to be the lowest cost board, but it should be closer to the entry level price bracket and not a balls out OC board at double the price.

Asus Prime X370-Pro, seen as low as £75 new, been a great overclocker for me and recommended by buildzoid for OC'ers on a budget.

Got one running a 3700X already :) But... it might be a bit late to get another as I've not managed to find one in stock at a sensible price.
