I currently have a MSI b350 gaming plus motherboard with a Ryzen 7 1800x (a recent upgrade from my original Ryzen 5 1600).
It has always been my intention to upgrade my board to take full advantage of the 1800x but I don't know if I even bother or if I did, should I go x370 or x470.
At present I have a stable CPU overclock of 4ghz on all cores, and my memory boots at 3600mhz but most stable at 3400mhz.
At present my CPU temps are max 70 degrees under full load so there is a little more room for a further overclock on air.
So to sum up, can I get a better motherboard at about £150 - £175 , that will give me a notable performance increase? If so what would you recommend, x370, x470 and which brands, models etc. OR should I stick with what I have got.
Please note I will be sticking with the 1800x as my CPU option.
Many thanks in advance.
