Well, since my old motherboard died, i'm about to upgrade from FX-8350 to AMD R5 1600 with future possibility to upgrade to 2700 or newer Ryzen since I'm interested to making it a streaming PC after a while so since I only need to change my MOBO, I can't decide which of these 2 mentioned motherboards to choose. I'm not interested in SLI and the extra USB ports etc, I'm only interested in performance/temperatures. Rog Strix's B350-F covers my needs but in my country, the X370 Carbon Pro is 6€ cheaper than Rog Strix (not that really matters) but, i mean the price is close, so which one should I pick? I'm interested in OCing 1600 and any other AMD processor that I might upgrade to in the future, so I would like to know your opinion. MSI or ASUS? Which one would perform better under OC? I’m only interested in these 2 manufactures so don’t recommend any other brand
Thanks in advance!

Shall I spend 15-20€ more and go for the ASUS X370 Prime-Pro? My budget is a bit tight so I’m looking for the best possible option with OC capabilities.
 
Solution
Watch this video by Buildzoid where he talks about which AM4 motherboards he thinks are the best for overclocking. He specifically mentions the Asus Rog Strix B350-F Gaming and the ASUS Prime X370-Pro. He recommends spending a bit extra to get the Prime X370-Pro and he doesn't like any MSI motherboards for overclocking.

B450 motherboards will not be available for sale until the very end of July.
