If you don’t want to overclock the Ryzen 7 1800X then perhaps opting for a B350 chipset is a better and more affordable option than going for a X370 motherboard such as the Asus Crosshair VI Hero. Our top pick for a B350 chipset motherboard for Ryzen 7 1800x is the ASUS Prime B350 Plus – a great motherboard that is packed with some great features but certainly doesn’t break the bank in terms of cost. This is a ATX motherboard that retails for just under $120, supporting up to 3200MHz DDR4 RAM and is pretty efficient due to its low power draw. This motherboard just get the job done, and if you use offset mode for the v core and using the new BIOS version, you can improve stability even further for the B350 Plus.
