difference is this has been fixed pre release, ryzen is still being fixed months after release
that and ryzen is still sub par in comparison
Hyperbole - yawn.
very true,
will see. my X99 setup was not fixed for 2 months after release, had constant issues.difference is this has been fixed pre release, ryzen is still being fixed months after release

We have to rely on Motherboard Vendors....
i even bricked a £400 motherboard by changing a Fan setting on my ASUS WS board... it corrupted the entire bios
Your so Blue you might aswell be a smurf. stop being a fanboy & look at the Tech Red/Blue Red/Green it doesnt matter you still gets you same enjoyment
Give this man a beer.
X99 still has issues to this day but nobody goes posting on 10 different forums complaining about it.
Haha my x99 Deluxe still refuses to boot if my Logitech webcam is plugged into USB while my external Raid arrays are also connected. It hangs at 'initialising USB controllers'.
Only been over 2 years now

Yeh as OCUK built my PC I asked them if they could send me a new BIOS chip (as it just clicks into place) ASUS wanted me to return the whole motherboard. so back to OCUK it went.
OCUK returned it to me the Next day.
so changing the Fan curve on my £400 Motherboard bricked it. Lesson i learnt? only buy motherboards with dual Bios. i couldnt bacvk then i needed the WS for 7 16x PCI-E... never did get around to using it though!
this time though im hoping to go FULL NVME storage

No no no. You'll get put on the ignore list!

OcUK did that for you?! :O
Yeah, I'll be sticking with them in that case. Back in the Phenom II days my BIOS got screwed after updating it to support the 950 Black Edition CPU; Asus support is one of the 7 levels of hell.
Haha, ah well. I've always just 'typed' it as it is. My x99 system is great, but my goodness the issues with x99. I remember paying a small fortune to get the Only DDR4 in stock; and then took nearly 6 months before I could even run it at it's rated 2400Mhz. So many BIOS updates.

they kind of had too, i get OCUK to build my pcs that way they give you a full 2 years swap out warrenty. they use their own stock to replace. its £70 but saves me building it plus 2 years swap warrenty
my workstation build worked at 2400 out the box with team-group ellite
i have one of these:

Thats interesting, is this advertised anywhere? What is the cable management like?
If I can get my friends and family on this I can save myself a **** load of time!
i always ask in CS forum for a qoute. recently i asked for a qoute for Ryzen Build
This in the list take it for what you will. all i know is
Ive returned
A motherboard - Next Day returned - was obviously died as didnt even have BIOS load up
Ram - Next day Returned in 2 days. (might be lucky)
i worked out the difference on every Man-chine and its always been £70 quid to build with that included.
had a Q6600 built
had a i7 920 built
had a 5930K built
soon x299/ryzen/threadripper
Thanks for that, I'll pass this on. I get little time lately and I'm always being pestered.
i just do it for similar reasons + Some big Air coolers are impossible to fit with my disability.
I'm just going to wait for Threadripper before I make any decisions on what new computer to buy. I was so close to buying a Ryzen 1800X system but I'm glad I waited as at the time I hadn't heard of Threadripper. Threadripper seems much more inline with my use case which is video rendering and streaming so having the extra cores will be very useful for me. Just have to wait and see whether it will beat my overclocked i7 3930k @ 4.4Ghz in games which is what I care about. Hopefully it will overclock reasonably well.

I feel for you. Is only 2 months now, but when ever the motherboard decides (GA X99 Ultra Gaming) to have a fit with the Predator, just doesn't throttle the fans leaving them to minimum.
And you know is coming because they barely move on boot. Temp skyrocket the moment windows load and system reboot asking you to reset the BIOS.
Gigabyte said it could be the RAM because I am only using dual channel kit 3600CL16 (which is on approved list though working with this board) and need to get 2666 max quad channel because of 6800K limitations some times
But I have patience. 2 month to go for Ryzen 9 and the 6800K it will be used as server and backup machine.
Also something I had found with my X79 experience. The first two Ivy-E batches were made in Costa Rica. All these were superb overclockers and even at default needed much less power. Compared to Malaysia who produced the remaining of the CPUs for the 3 years. They were all power hungry and couldn't overclock.

Not yet but tempted by the 7820 8 core. At £578 is not a bad price compared to the 6900k which is still £799 with the big current discount. Upgraded to 6700k last year but could do with a better all-rounder as I use VM's and could do with much more memory too. Not started looking at mobo's yet though or what the best memory is for the board/latest chips.
I'm happy with what AMD is doing but for me I prefer for now to stick with Intel. However, as I self-manage my own pension I have put a few grand into AMD stock as I think they 'could' do quite well over the coming years if they now finally are getting their act together.
Yes. I bought the i9 7900x.
I bought it because i do Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and need a lot of cores and quad channel memory.
Upgrading from i7 4770k.
didnt want to wait for threadripper? july/aug?
