Keep in mind, most 1st gen Ryzens seem to top out at ~4GHz (stable) on even the best boards. Some may get 4.1GHz, but not any more than that from whet I've read. My 1600X/MSI B350M Mortar Arctic hit 4GHz easy enough, but it wasn't 100% stable. However, I didn't put a lot of effort into OC'ing it.

I have the Asus board in a Ryzen 3 1300X build right now, so it will be awhile before I will want to swap CPUs.

My MSI board isn't very good for stable CPU OC'ing so far. I only bought it for the white color scheme I was going for at the time. But I have an Asus ordered that I am going to try next. Asus has always been the best for me in other platforms. So, we'll see.

But keep in mind, "cheap" doesn't usually lend itself well to good OC'ing.
