motherboard Need your help for choosing MOBO

[Timberjack]

Hello dudes.

I've watched tons of videos about pc parts such as overclocking,balancing, etc.And after i've done with my investigations and finally was ready to take rest from pc hardware search.

Eventually i realized that as long as i want to overclock shit out of my r5 2600 in order to catch up with gtx1080 i need a proper mobo. The problem is that for a awhile i've believed that Gigabyte AX-x370 k5 is the best choice for me as  long as it was recommended by Buildzoid. But then i found another video in AHOC channel that shows how much  pain in the neck is to do a decent overclock. Buildzoid states that gigabyte board has bad voltage sensors and poor vrm ,not ok but really poor.Buildzoid overcloced that cpu somehow with his DIY voltage sensor but i know that if i buy that MOBO i wouldn't bother so much on it's crappy voltage sensors and abandon OC-ing.

On the other hand there is a Asus prime x370 -pro mobo wich has a good vrm but lacks clockgen and that completely confused me . To be honese  i can't understand what clockgen does and since i've watched tons of videos where guys are overclocking with Asus x370- pro.

So what i've wanted is can you give me some help in choosing motherboard for OC. And if you have asus prime x370 - pro what is your experience (temps,stability,voltage sensors,ram,etc)?

Please take into account that by rig will ber properly ventilated, and the heatsink i'm going to buy is already  overkill  for 65w tdp cpus. And im going to use ryzens stock cooler to cool vrm as buildzoid did ), and i know that i need to OC RAM too in order to get maximum from ryzen 5 2600.

Here is my build . https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Timberjack/saved/vgPwVn MY LIMIT FOR MOBO IS UNDER 150$

Why not an X470 board?

TBH i didn't even considered them since i thought that i wont need that much features that x470 gives me . Also i though that if this x470 costs even lower that x370 it definitely  has some issues.

Can you tell me key differences of this x470 from that x370 one ?

Ty for response bro)

Well for one it is guaranteed to have a BIOS to support the 2600 out of the box

It's got really solid VRM cooling from what I can tell and just because something is priced lower doesn't mean it has issues, it just means it's better priced.

Do you own one ? If yes can you tell me some tips that standard reviews overlook. Such as temperature or voltage sensor issues. 

Ty beforehand  .
