I was wondering which motherboard to choose. There's a little price difference and I don't mind paying a bit more for the tomahawk. If you are wondering I'm going to be pairing the mobo with:

Ryzen 7 1700
Corsair Vengeance LPX 3200Mhz CL16

I might want to overclock the 1700 a little. Which motherboard is better in your opinion? Thanks in advance guys :)

I have the ASRock AB350 Pro4, Ryzen 7 1700 and 16 GB (2 x8) Corsair Vengeance LPX 2666. I am very happy with this motherboard and the build in general.

My boot drive is the Plextor - M8Pe NVMe SSD (256 GB) and for data I use the WD Blue M.2 drive (500 GB). Love that the motherboard has two m.2 slots and that the NVMe one supports boot.

Another feature of the motherboard that I really like is the support for fans: 3 PWM case fan headers and a connector for the AMD LED connection for the cooler that comes with the Ryzen 7 1700.

I found overclocking simple and am currently running the Ryzen 7 at 3.6 GHz with 1.20V.

If there is anything else you'd like to know about my experience with the board, I'm happy to comment.
