Hey guys. I'm going to buy a 1600 very soon and I'm thinking what mb to get. I want to oc it to its limits, so does B350 has anything to be jealous of the x370 chipset?

X370 has support for multigpu and better audio, and SHOULD have better constructive quality. Other than that, it's the same. You're extremely likely to reach 3,8-3,9Ghz at 1,325-1,375 on both, and extremely unlikely to hit stable 4,0GHz on both as well. So, you choose.

The jealous related thing is the vrm phases, the X370 boards (some of them) may be better in vrm phases also X370 supports crossfire and SLI

If it's a full sized board, the X370 models usually look a whole lot better if that matters at all to you.

Other than that they pretty much OC the same.

X370 might have nicer other features, though I doubt it makes it worth the price.
