From what I've seen so far, no matter the cooler or the board, Ryzen 7's stock speeds are already about as fast as they get. OC potential with these chips is very low. Many are only getting about 100MHz OC out of them.

Ryzen 5 will likely have more room for an overclock.

As for gaming, Ryzen 7 is not your best choice. Ryzen 5 will be better for gaming. You'll lose a few cores (the games won't really care), and you'll hopefully gain some OC potential (the games will care about this).

Yep totally fair point. However, this build is more for workstation tasks. So, which board do you think I should go with?

I have no idea. They haven't been on the market long enough for the experts to form a general opinion of them yet.

im running a R7 1700 on a asrock killer SLI and im over clocked to 3.7ghz on a H60 AIO. im thinking people who are only getting 100mhz are also trying to run 2400mhz ram, if they clock the ram down to 2133mhz then they can get over that hump, dunno why it does it but my adata 2400 if ran at 2400 and i over clock it wont post but if i run it at 2133mhz i can go up to 3.7 havt gone much higher yet though
