I willl upgrade my "CPU , RAMs and Motherboard" I will buy "AMD Ryzen 1700X" Cpu and "Corsair Vengeance DDR4 3200 Mhz 16 GB (2 X 8)" Rams.

Now i must decide my "Motherboard". But i cant decide around "B350 Plus" or "X370 Prime".

Only i want my PC can see Ram's speed as "3200 MHZ". Cause as we know New Ryzen boards cant see 3200 Mhz speed without "Bios Update and Ram O.C"

B350's price is very good but this motherboard can see Ram's Speed "3200 Mhz" without any problem ??? I dont want SLI also. I want only good gaming Pc with Singe GPU

Please help to me. And Sorry my English is not good enough.

The new BIOS updates that are being released by the motherboard vendors are allowing users to get their rams to their advertised speeds. the highest I've seen are 3200MHz. Anything higher and you'll need o see Intel territory.

My vote would be with the X370 since that is a perfect companion to the 1700x.

i was wondering myself and i found this answer: in short, ASRock Taichi x370 is the superior mobo now.

pay close attention to this article as understanding the VRM and voltage phases is key in deciding which mobo is better, in addition to how many non-shared lanes are available to all the mobo key components (CPU, DRAM, PCIe slots, M2, U2)--the more lanes available to your gfx cards, dram, SSD M2 drives, the less bottleneck and the faster your whole computing experience; in other words, shared lanes == less performance. now i understand why some go with a server board for the higher non-shared count thus improving I/O throughput.

go ASRock! ;)
