Hello . I am choosing a mobo for my build with ryzen 5 1600x cpu , and i am actually confused what mobo to choose... I am looking at the top shelf chipset x370 and narrowed it to two mobos:
Gigabyte AORUS GA-AX370-Gaming 5 and Asus ROG Crosshair VI Hero AMD X370.
Witch should i choose? anyone has any other mobos that i missed to read.. i am trully confused :D
the cpu will be oc'ed

Between your posted choices: The Crosshair Hero VI.

If I'm following reviews and consumer feedback, including my own... The ASRock Taichi.

Research the x370 boards as others have suggested and you'll likely narrow it down to the ASUS or ASRock. Then it is a question of price vs features.

If this is the same board, I may have to pull my recommendation. Unless they just got a bad board. I was basing my opinion on previous Crosshair boards; mostly Intel. I wonder if it isn't just a Ryzen issue. The new platform doesn't seem totally fleshed out yet.

On the other hand, if you are looking for OC'ing potential... Ryzen doesn't have it anyway. 4GHz seems to be the average top.
