If you just game with 1 GPU get Ryzen instead.

This platform is not for gaming, maybe in a few years when games truly become multi-core dependent, but right now R5 1600 is one of the best gaming processors on the market and of course has 6/12 cores/threads so at sub £200 its the processor to beat, really in a league of its own and sales back that up, were selling like 1000 of them a month, our no.1 selling processor in the shop.

The other thing being RX Vega or Intel's Extreme CPUs?Nice... lets forget about that other thing, Threadripper rulz man!

Be interesting to see if TR is quicker than Ryzen given its quad channel RAM and 2 core boost.

Is there any news on new AIO's or water cooling blocks ?
I understand a mod bracket is available for certain existing AIO's so you can mount them, however surely the contact with the heatsheild of the chip will be of a small surface area meant for regular cpu sizes, meaning they will be inefficient at getting the heat away quickly.

So far the confirmed coolers so far are the Nzxt Kraken X61, X62, X52 and the Corsair H80i, H100i v2 and H115i. The Arctic Cooling 240 and 360 models are also compatible out of the box.
I will create a thread once I have more details.

What's wrong with Vega? (admittedly not really the thread for this discussion)Now that you mention it, both
Originally Vega.

Apparently the coolers RobbieG has mention cover the cores....

Unless AMD are hiding something (and they are good at that), Vega, the big one, is ~1080 non ti, a year late to the party and due to the pound being so weak, probably not that much cheaper

The AIO Cooler one is a ~GTX 1080, that one is £600.
The normal one is more GTX 1070, for £500.
Enough said about that in here.

Any news on the motherboards Gibbo? I'm soooo tempted to pre-order the Threadripper.

That's great news. I've been looking at AMD as well. If I did I'll wait for Ryzen+
