Heres the link for that bracket, i used one with my H75 for a while :)

Seems like they're hard to get hold of now, will take some searching, not available on OcUK anymore either.

OCUK sell their own retention bracket for AM4 CPUs, not as high quality as the corsair ones but still does the job in my experience.

Will work the same for all AIOs using Asetek pumps, which includes all of the corsair AIOs.

Hm....starting to reevaluate my thoughts on Ryzen 3. I'm not sure it is quite as good a release as i was hoping.

On the 13th November 2017 i bought a 8700 for £269 and my cinebench scores at stock are similar, save for being about 100 less on the multi bench ( same single core though).

Now, no doubt the IPC improvements AMD have made are impressive, and we do have a an improvement in price/performance, but looking at the reported UK prices, for a similar performing cpu at stock to what you could get nearly 2 years ago, we have saved £70.

Not that monumental unfortunately :/

It is a massive shame that the rumours of the 8 cores being bumped to the mid tier 3600 models and the 12 core and 16 core taking the high tier 3800 and 3900 models didnt come true.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but those look like fairly similar prices to the Intel equivalent.
All these months of hype, and there's that little difference in cost? Gotta laugh.

If Ryzen 5 2600X is 80 quid, and Ryzen 9 3900X is 480 quid, that's the most unbalanced offerings ever.

:eek:

currently £ 187.03 for 2700X and £80.50 for 2600X with current conversion rates.

though $ to £ is 0.79, and $ to E is 0.88

conversion rates never been my strong points , but shame POUND is so weak!!!!!!!!!!

have a feeling that is the single cause for higher Ryzen 3*** and x570 prices for ourselves .

seems 15% increase from x470 to x570 pricing was general ball park - looks like we'll take a higher hit .

LEAST it comes out before new PM ... lol

The 3600 is matching an 8700K / 9700K for £200, what more do you want?
