Just been reading that reddit that I linked. Quite surprised to see that X470 boards seem to lack BIOS Flashback. There are the odd one or two, but generally you need to go B450 in order to get that incredibly useful function, and even then only with MSI and Asrock for ATX boards.

And reviews on the 10'th

Surely it's reviews 7th. Where's the 10th come from?

 

[humbug]

Rain Forest is really bad for hunting down what you're looking for, they don't even give you an option for distinguishing between AMD and Intel let alone chip-set, instead they give you brand and ATX size options.

whats the reasoning on no OcUK Pre-orders?

I've generally found it goes:

Pre-orders: Normal prices
Release: gouged to absolute heck
after release frenzy: normal getting cheaper.

I can't understand OcUK not doing pre-orders...

I guess my pre-order will have to go somewhere else.

I can't remember, i'm probably wrong

So that they can gouge it to death on launch.

Where's these supposed Ryzen 3XXX preorders coming from tomorrow?

I'm of the opinion there will be none.

It'll be reviews and launch on 7th in one go. That's what I've stuck to throughout the entire thing.

There's no official pre-orders, although we may see a few sellers listing them in the next few days?

 

[Mercutio]

yeah... odd. I was *sure* I'd seen 1st for official pre-orders. Checked again and there's no sign of it anywhere. I must have been tripping.

Hmmm... not happy with the gouging frenzy that will occur in that case. Might even hold off for reviews.

There already pre-orders for some of the motherboards already from a large retailer.

^ Pmsl!

Intel....motherboards.....are the value brand!!

Some stuff like that can't be as well controlled. I'd be surprised if they're sanctioned pre orders

Well at least we known what the top AMD X570 motherboards cost in the UK - between £650 to £800!! They seem to confirm the leaked pricing,plus the usual UK markup.

So £350 to £400 for the Asus X570 Hero,looks to be realistic.

There's no guarantee there will be gouging.
We know what the price is roughly meant to be.

Pretty sure Lisa Su said pre-orders on 01/07 at Computex.

Pretty sure that was a made up expectation.

Stop moaning, you can still get pretty alright cheapo X470 B450s. Honestly...

You sound like you don't want anyone to be able to buy new stuff.
