Best motherboard for Ryzen 2700x to run at 3200mhz 14CL

I'm looking for a good motherboard with A-XMP profiles for my Ryzen 2700x with these RAM sticks:

https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?item=N82E16820232205

So it has to be able to push 3200mhz with 14CL. I'd also like it to be able to support the SAMSUNG 970 EVO M.2 which I heard not all mobos supported yet, and good power phases for the CPU.
Budget is not a concern. Any recommendations? I heard MSI has A-XMP profiles that'd make this easier in mobos like https://www.amazon.com/MSI-GAMING-X470-PRO-CARBON/dp/B07BYY16V7?th=1 . I'd like to know if this is the best option or if there's something better.

Thanks.

The Crosshair boards have traditionally been the best non-specialty boards available for AMD platforms. If budget is no concern, then these are the boards I'd look at. There are currently no other boards that I'd recommend as being better than these are for Ryzen.

Likely though, you can find a board that does what you want for significantly less than those. They have some features not found on lower tiered boards and likely incorporate better power delivery/VRM configurations, but there are very good boards to be had that will support high end memory and overclocking, in the 150-200 dollar range. M.2 support will be there as well on some boards. If you want to save...
Get the X470 Taichi, solid motherboard excellent memory compability. The X370 Taichi was already one of the best AM4 motherboards in the market and now the X470 Taichi it's pretty much the board to get.
If you cannot find the board available, the Asus Crossair X470 is also pretty amazing.
