Same here. Bought it 2 weeks ago. Up £30 now. Got to say I am a bit smug. That bet paid off.

Yeah, this thread was so much better when it was 450 pages of arguing over pure speculation. E3 has killed so many dreams..

running against the master
TL;DW?
Taking a wild guess VRMs are overkill for both
Can not link to a competitor sorry but I got the Adata Spectrix D41 3600 mhz rgb kit for £123. Google uk price for that and you should find it.

For the Gigabyte probably for most people, for the ASRock not so much, it seemed in his judgment ASRock have struck a pretty good balance when it comes to cost (of the parts).
So what is the cost of the ASRock boards then?
Tbf that's what I'd do if I were a motherboard manufacturer. Chucking a few quid at some redundant regulators on high end boards seems like a good plan when it's all 90% of the enthusiast internet talks about.
No frills, no nonsense motherboards seem to have died a death in the 8 years I've been off the upgrade wagon. The RGB thing looks similar, LEDs are so cheap they're basically free, so if people will pay extra for a Christmas tree then why not?

Asrock T - £285
Isn't the Master much more expensive? Or maybe I'm confusing it with another Gigabyte X570 board, there are so many this time around...
X470 Taichi was a 12 phase I believe, so yes, almost certainly.
ouch. source?

According to this Ryzen 3000 should be good for 4000MHz ram.

As a side note CyberPunk 2077 demo system used 32Gb of ram. So from next year we may need more ram.
Depends all on how noisey those chipset fans are going to be for me.
It's one of the main reasons the Aorus Extreme seems so appealing - proper passive cooling.
Otherwise, either the Aorus Master or Taichi depending on price.
I've only ever use Asus boards, but the Asus-tax is getting silly.

doubt it for games. 16gb should be plenty for the foreseeable. (in gaming).
