So, which board to get for Ryzen?

[chew*]

Just seems rather lame that the VRM sections of boards can be so weak, on the "higher tier" boards. For a basic board, basic VRM not capable of much is expected, but seriously, to skimp on one of the most important parts for an overclocker's board...?

it should handle 4-4.1 fine....Ln2...probably not. It's not horrible in fact its not even bad. The issue is the cost for what it has and or doesn't have.

The ln2 guys probably won't even give this board a second thought anyway. That level of game play will require bclk or the playing field will not be even.
