I am upgrade system to ryzen 1600. Please suggest me best motherboard which can run ram at 3200mhz without any bios problem
 
This is a very good board, with a lot of features and very popular among Ryzen builders... https://pcpartpicker.com/product/Y4kwrH/msi-b350-tomahawk-atx-am4-motherboard-b350-tomahawk
As far as the RAM is concerned its currently uniform among all boards. Some people are achieving higher speeds while others may not on the same board, but with different chips. There is a lot of inconsistency as the BIOS fix has not yet stabilized it properly, or so i got to know. Hopefully this will be sorted out in future updates.

It depends more on the quality of the IMC on your 1600 than the motherboard. Some non-x chips will never get to 3200mhz (this was a quote from support in a motherboard forum but I can't find it now).
My 1600 wont go above 2800, even with looser timings, 1.4v on the ram and 1.3v on the soc. Originally I had the gigabyte b350 gaming 3 at 2666, returned it due to ram speeds and took the asus b350 prime and got the same result. The latest beta bios lets me get to 2800.
 


Nobody can answer that with certainty, as not all boards have been tested fully yet. Infact a lot of that depends on the silicon lottery, how better binned your chip might be. Most people who are already on Ryzen platform, are optimistic about the anomalies getting fixed in time to come.
 
I already gave you the tried and tested option. A lot of people have achieved 2933 or thereabout with the Tomahawk board, but its hit and miss. But its not so much about the board, rather more about the RAM kit... http://www.legitreviews.com/ddr4-memory-scaling-amd-am4-platform-best-memory-kit-amd-ryzen-cpus_192259

This is another board where 3000 and above has been achieved more consistently than Tomahawk... https://pcpartpicker.com/product/vgx9TW/msi-x370-xpower-gaming-titanium-atx-am4-motherboard-x370-xpower-gaming-titanium
