Oh. Well I don't think a cpu based on server architecture is going to have any great issues with stability and our Ryzens in our lab have been rock solid.

Weirdly mine is showing tomorrow delivery also. I would be really surprised if it got here by tomorrow.
Back in 2014 bought a Super Flower Leadex 1000W platinum to go with my 295X2 for £140 from OCUK. Best investment ever. 3 years later is still serving me well after having replaced the other components numerous times (5 CPUs, 4 motherboards, 4 GPUs), and going for 5th complete system (Vega, 1950X and board).
Don't cheapen out on your PSU. Is possibly the only part you wont change many years and worth every penny to spend money on.

It will cover up an overclocked 1950X and a Vega. Anything less might not.
Good advice. The 650 coolermaster in my machine is the same, its been in there for longer than I can remember, its more than 7 years at least since that's how long i've been running my current cpu which is a 1090t and I know it was running the q6600 before that. It would certainly be nice to have one of these newfangled modular jobbies and to be honest £130 isn't bad if it lasts as long as this one has. This will also be the first build ive done in a case other than my current coolermaster atcs 210 which I bought back in 2002. Exciting times

The whole order has a delivery date of tomorrow. I am almost sure that they told me it wouldn't be with me before Monday next week on the phone. I can tell you for sure that if the wife rings me tomorrow saying there is a delivery I wont be hanging around in the office, ill be spending the rest of the day/week working from home

Kit List:
1 x Gigabyte AMD X399 AORUS GAMING 7 Gaming Motherboard
1 x AMD RYZEN Threadripper 1950X 16 Core TR4 Processor
2 x G.Skill Trident Z RGB 32GB Kit DDR4 3466MHz RAM
1 x Corsair Hydro Series H100i v2 Extreme Performance Liquid CPU Cooler
1 x Crystal Series 460X RGB Compact ATX Mid-Tower Case
Of the 3 choices available the asus was too pricey and I simply wont buy the tat msi put together and try to sell as premium hardware so I was left with the Gigabyte. Having had a number of their boards in the past I settled with that, really I wanted the Tiachi but i'm impatient.

Wrong thread!!
At 500+ quid the Asus tax on the Zenith ROG is insane. I do wonder if it warrants the extra 150-200£.

There's the PRIME X399-A and I suspect they'll release a couple more between the two, one being "Strix".
I think Strix will be at £440 range and prime at £350, but all of those Asus boards are E-ATX

They state E-ATX but they are actually CEB the same as the X99-E WS motherboard. 
I have just also noticed that the gigabyte board has different specs all over the show :S some places say it only supports DDR4 @ 2667 then other places say it supports 3600+ Hmmm I just hope that the g.skill 3466 kit allows me to push it to 3200 speeds
It would be interesting to see how those mobos fit in different cases. Phanteks Evolv for example accepts EATX but only up to 264, while Asus boards are 269mm. Also many cases bend just before the rubber grommets, so there is no way to mount the board and cover cable holes slightly:/ not sureThey state E-ATX but they are actually CEB the same as the X99-E WS motherboard.
So how does it work with the size of the CPU cooler compared to the size of the CPU? will it impact the cooling?

No news on a X399-TR WS as far as I can see - That surely would be the board to go for.

I am going to need a new case anyway, still not sure which to go for, I cant fault the Carbide 400C I used on the Ryzen build, maybe the 750D for ThreadRipper
