See table for details on overclocking related to chipset. X350 and B350 can both overclock.
http://www.tweaktown.com/guides/8243/amd-am4-ryzen-motherboard-buyers-guide/index.html

And the "X" on the CPU does not refer to overclock capability
https://www.hardocp.com/article/2017/04/06/overclocking_amd_ryzen_5_1600_1400_cpus

It denotes that the processor has the "Extended Frequency Range (XFR)" feature

We must be slaves to the truth regardless of how it reflects on ourselves. Sometimes the truth is hard to see but we still must chase it. And yes, it was a bit of a giggle.

BTW, from the country myself, farmers feed the world.
