Is it smart to combine this motherboard with a Ryzen 7 3800X?

Helpful answer

Short answer: Yes.
Long answer: It depends on what you want to do. Really extreme overclocks are not a smart idea with this board with the somewhat cheaper VRM configuration, you won't get really good results. However, (extreme) overclocking on Ryzen 3x00X processors is usually not a good idea anyway, as it takes a disproportionate amount of effort to get any extra performance at all.
I myself run a slightly overclocked Ryzen 7 3700X with this board without problems, stable, 24/7.

Smart in what way? I run a 3700X with the board and am happy that the on-board fan does not rotate - in other words, the board is silent. According to test reports on X570 boards, this is a positive exception. In this respect, it is very clever to combine the board with a 3800X ;-)
