@orbitalwalsh - imagine an emoticon with a grinny face but with a middle finger in the assumed position (mind you it didn't didn't include the words Xtreme - you're slipping)
I'll start @'ing Esat on your 9700K specs in retaliation - he'll buckle sooner or later

tbh...with all these giveaways (MSI included) probably only means one thing...
board vendors are taking the early adopters for a ride with respect to prices...and are probably at least £50 overpriced if not more...
would like to actually be able to get a x570 elite in stock and delivered so i could do this lol. ordered two from two different retailers (ocuk one of them)now and been unlucky enough to not get one despite both places having them in stock at the time of the order.

Most likely until B550. Have a feeling that will be £160 to £110 .. need to clear B450 and x470 stock and await Intel's new Chipset

Haha, to be honest if your rocking high Hz monitor and £600 GPU 9700k edges it by 20fps average . 9900k just isn't a point and ryzen 3900x just is a demon
Agreed, especially as it's only the informed that will notice these 'Narnia' type deals, to begin with.
That won't stop Esat - he's a relentless torrent of reasoning - i enjoy his Finnish, dry humour (although, agreed the brute force of the 9700K would hold you for years - but this is written within brackets so, you're still on your own
).Yep, Ryzen kept things relatively understated, letting the media create the wave (and the Zen 2 thread), and were given the opportunity to drop the hammer for emphasis (ignoring motherboards). Wonder how they'll play the Zen 3 release...

@Plec CCX needs to go 10 cores, and IO chiplet to 7nm
What are you still doing awake?
You realise your kids will be using your eyelids as 'silly putty' at 5am tomorrow?

Any idea how long the reviews take to go live?
No idea, mine was on a competitor so I expect Monday now.

Pics !
Been told it's heavy !
It is very heavy, I think the backplate adds to it. Very nice looking board in the flesh, quite understated. Too tired to build it right now, been laying slabs and can't move now!
Still got the plastic on it. Oh and just weighed it out of interest, 1.5kg!
