£200-230.
Most likely £220

Most likely £220
Will it be good enough for gaming with 3600x/3700x ? Pretty much a noob on boards so dunno what i should be looking for if its around £200 then it will be on my list. I need a itx so im pretty limited

They need to give me 20 quid back for the fan that's going straight in the bin.....still holding out for a 199.99 price 
It'll be good enough for a 3900x. Lol.
Even current trash boards are good enough for a 3600x/3700x.
Yeah me too. Hope it's closer to £200....but I won't hold my breath...They need to give me 20 quid back for the fan that's going straight in the bin.....still holding out for a 199.99 price
But I won't be paying over the odds for it, that's for sure.
So in theory it doesnt really matter what the motherboard is like aslong as it can run the cpu ?
The ryzen 3000 six core and eight cores should use less power than their ryzen 2000 counterparts.

max should be £226 - lets hope bulk orders and ££ strength wasn't to bad . I know people are mentioning and it is True that PCIe 4.0 is expensive - they also fail or forget the pound is at an all time low to $$$ and ALL hardware bought in as at Dollar prices . Great for export, poor for import
And thats why its hard to nail a price down for UK . ITX board shouldn't be more then above , unless resellers inflate it ....
Aorus 7 x470 is Full ATX and matches Entry and mid tier X570 boards whilst being £40+ cheaper and wifi.
B450 MSI AC set to do well - does have 8+4 pin which is handy for 12+ cores but VRM and PCB arent anywhere near x570, as well as OCUK staff mentioning TDP Eff isn't as good . Price wish, it'll fly off the shelf with ryzen 3600 . Hopefully some testing comes out to see how it does with 3600/3733hz ram also that take the price higher then a budget build , unless users are able to manually overclock a good 3200hz ram kit for £40 cheaper

Will do but not until after the launch, could only get some many samples

@Plec his 4000hit will work in the Pro/Ultra/Master i believe - prob save the cash with 3600 version and push tighter timings with Ryzen Ram Calculator using 3733hz
@GIGA-Man - Does that mean some reviewers will have your/a PICe 4.0 NVMe to test as well ...?
if true, nice ! just the copper colouring
Yes, many of the media will have our drives.
Thanks for the informed and detailed response, @EsaT - can't say I expected anything less. Very interested in the the AKG K702 from reviews - open design and especially as not bass heavy.
I have follow up questions but will take them to the Sound forum as i'll derail the thread - I need some more 'unvarnished' responses to my lazy questions. I'll quote your post at the start of the thread and resume my follow up questions there - although i noticed you helped a guy out recently (who doesn't seem to realise it from his replies) - so have gained a lot of useful info from that.
Yep, i own a few pairs of quality Sennheiser's - I replace ear covers and headbands - i won't re-appropriate for gaming as they're my music headsets (I'm not an audiophile - but prefer the sound of open design.) - but may give a cheaper set to my son and bin his gaming headset from your reply.

Your going from 4x 50amps to 6x 70amps . MOSFETs are top of the line and run cooler as well .
If your looking to slap a 16 core in , job done . Your current one would be fine with 3800x or 3900x with good top down cooler
Then you've got AX WiFi Vs AC , back plate , bios flashing .
The ITX actually works out the better costing board of the lot lol
Thanx for your reply, i currently dont have any board as im intel but im planning on getting a 3600x or a 3700x depending on reviews and im looking at boards the cheapest itx board is rumoured to be £220. Im just struggling to find out what the difference is and is it worth waiting for the 570 or get a b450. Im not upgrading my gpu for a few years so i dont need pci 4 i dont have wifi 6 router so indunno how much that will benefit me and i have no clue on what memory i would needs as im not clued up like most in here and havnt built a pc since 2014

In answer to your earlier question and given this response then i'd say definitely not, save yourself £100. Memory? you can get a good 3000mhz 16gb kit for well under £100, it will go very well with a B450 board and a 3600-3700X, maybe even a 3200mhz kit, certainly no need to go any furtehr than that.
Here's a highly reccomended (everywhere) B450 mobo.

Here's something I found elsewher eon the forum that might help you.

Aorus and MSI h itx boards far better VRM at same costs then the AC.
Better PCB and Dimm design as well , hopefully 3600hz would be fine.
X570 itx designed to handle 16 cores
And then you see how the new PBO works , video on the Zen2 thread. More power... More it'll push it's self with good cooling

Conflicting still no better off haha il just wait for the release and price of the x570 itx boards and see what i think. It has to be itx as im not replacing my case so my options are limited. If i can get a MSI B450I at £120 and these x570s are inflated to £250 -£350 ( Ive heard the Asus Rog strix x570 itx will be around £430) then i might just buy the cheaper board and save £120 and wait for the x570s to drop in price or get a x670 in a years time which shouldnt be inflated as i doubt there will be ryzen 4000 series next year unless im wrong

Just don't spend more than you you need to on over-priced 570 boards at launch. It's price gouging and panic season here, not a great time to buy anything.
