Looks like overclocking is there to at least to some extent but at least
what Supermicro W680 boards I could find in the retail channel, they
cost 400-550 US dollars so not exactly something I'd like to buy for an
all-around motherboard. So, happy with my consumer Asrock board and ECC
RAM and Ryzen.

What do you use for cooling if I may ask? I've found my 5600X reaches a
thermal limit pretty quickly with any kind of torture test software and
slows down, with the stock cooler. I haven't really checked if that
happens in actual use but I already got a beefier Noctua
cooler. Unfortunately it doesn't install itself :)
