B350 has the same overclocking as a x370

I get 4ghz on a b350

I would suggest finding a computer store near you, always better prices irl

Not all people will get a chip capable of reaching 4ghz without overheating the VRM, any more than 1.4v could overheat a B350 boards VRM provided it has a 4+3 phase that isn't quite good or worse.

the 6-cores draw less power than the 8-cores so overclocking on b350 is fine.

A B350 board should handle every 65W chip without overheating, assuming you aren't doing any custom water cooling 

 

I would only recommend a X370 if you are using a 1800X/1700X and you are planning on a heavy overclock, or if you just want the extra features that it offers

Some youtubers tested it it was the same.

Mine gets up in the 70C's after a good 24 hour test of Aida 64, and on any overclock that uses more than 1.4v it can get into 100C (6 core)

I think 1.4V is too much with any air or aio cooler. AMD stated that was the recommended limit on these chips. Also, if you are talking about core temps, that's on your CPU cooler, and if you are talking about your vrm, my OC gets the hottest sensor on my board gets to about 80. This probably depends on what cooling solution your board has for the VRM, not all board are the same.

I use a Kraken x62, and my CPU hit 64C under full 24 hour stress test in Aida 64, the VRM was hitting 93C after that time, and this was at 3.8ghz.

your cpu cooler is fine, I think that your board has subpar cooling. It does look really cool tho.

I recently took the heatsink off and got a small fan off an old AMD K6-2 cooler on it

 

Runs really well now. (The VRM)
