Avoid af. There are no VRM heatsinks at all on it, which will heat it up hotter than hell, especially with a heavily OC'd 1600X

 

Not sure if you only want an mATX board, but, I'd recommend the Asus Strix B350-F, or the MSI B350 Gaming Carbon (Asus supposedly has better BIOS, but either has pretty good VRM) for that level of CPU, if you can stretch it to ATX.

 

if you are exclusive to mATX, well, there is the Asus TUF B350M Plus. Basically the B350M-A, but with the much needed VRM heatsinks.

What about asrock AB350m? Those seem to have vrm heatsink but can an AB board OC?

The AB350M Pro4 or the regular AB350M?

 

Yeah, it will OC fine. They put the A there just because. :T

 

Both seem to have similar power phases and features, minus two extra RAM slots and a couple connections, so pick whatever you may.
