Hello. I just did overclocking my Ryzen 5 1500x @ 3.9ghz at 1.41v. The max temp is 76 with 12 min aida stress test and it was stable.

So my question is : Will b350 prime good enough to hold the overclocking at 1.41v for long terms without damaging vrm components?( idk what these do tho xD)

Also is theres any overclocking difference between b350 and x370?

I was generally led to believe that the x370s (and x470s) were supposed to be made of higher quality parts and have more features than their lower-budget cousins. Having said that, they most likely use similar or same capacitors and mosfets, and Asus tend to have a better reputation with regards OC ability than some others.

Use this for comparison of 350 vs 370 or to compare specific 350 boards - http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/id-3502839/am4-motherboard-amd-ryzen-cpu-specs-comparison-list.html
