Hello could someone please tell me if this board is good as it is the cheapest for overclocking ryzen 1200. If im playing at 720p will an overclock even be necessary?

Benchmark Scores Faster than yours... I'd bet on it. :)
3 Phase VRM without a heatsink... yikes. The good news is you have a Ryzen 1200. So likely you can get something out of it. Considering you are playing on such a low resloution, you will want to overclock your CPU as much as you can.

How about creating your system specs or at minimum, list what GPU you have, etc... :)

The GT5 is quite better, and its only 70 bucks. Still there are better options there for around 100 bucks, but I'm not an overclocker.

It's not better for overclocking... it is the same 3-phase VRM without a heatsink. It likely has more features though. ;)

Well, it does have different chokes.. but meh. Still 3-phase and no heatsinks. I agree a $100 mobo is likely a better option... just need to have a few more quality phases and a heatsink. :)

my brother had one and it worked for a little bit. after like 2 weeks it started having problems. the bios layout on them is hard to understand and they are just a really cheap board in general.

Yeah biostar is practically what ECS and Jetway were...
