I'd get any of the ATX B350 boards besides the pro4 and biostar boards. I recall @Snaeb had issues overclocking the ram at all on the pro4 not to mention it only has 3 phases, and biostar boards... just don't get em.

I love computer hardware and feel free to ask me anything about that (or phones). I especially like SSDs. But please do not ask me anything about Networking, programming, command line stuff, or any relatively hard software stuff. I know next to nothing about that.

Ya I moved that board to "backup" status and went with a Gaming 3 MATX board.  Ram got up to 2666MHz and to 3.9GHz on the CPU.

How high did you get it with that CPU on the X370 board?

im using a Asrock AB350m Pro4, yeah you can't really OC the RAM, but the 9 Powerphases are nice, the extra slots for RAM are a bonus, 2x m.2 is great, sepacially seeing no other board for Ryzen in this form is sporting it. it honestly is a good board, the RAM thing is annoying, but doesn't ruin the board, i waited for my Pro4 and it was honestly worth it, it works really nicely, i have a R7 on it clocking 3.97Ghz. i could go higher easy on it but i want it to run more cool than fast. i would be looking more seriously at the Pro4 rather than a Gigabyte or the Asus equivalent. 
also you are really only going to need RAM OC  if you are using a high end GPU, thats where the most gain is.
