AMD Zen 2 (Ryzen 3000) - *** NO COMPETITOR HINTING ***

For me I just buy everything, build 8 or 9 different systems, test them all out, then return all the ones I dont want. Granted this costs me about 80 grand a time but gotta make my own reviews.

Well I’ll be buying before reviews, but I’m not worried at all. It’s plainly obvious they are going to be great CPU’s. I don’t see any risk at all in buying blind.

Well VRM requirements for some CPU’s, RAM compatibility, performance of each tier CPU too are all things that I need to look at before I will bite.

Don’t want to end up with kit that’s sub-par because I bought blind or repeatedly have to return purchases.

I also hope performance won't be affected too much when used on previous gen. motherboards (X370, X470) but there is that sentence in 8pack's answer that tells me to wait for reviews:

//it's B450 not X470 but still, I'd rather wait.

Well efficiency would be due to the weaker VRMs, he didn't say performance was affected. Would be nice if he tested some faster RAM though, if he's listening... :D

I do the same, but it doesn't get returned, unless I bring it home for some reason. :D

I do wonder if this means that the boost mechanisms work better on the X570,ie,there are faster transitions between boost and idle states??

3200mhz is what was officially supported on the boards I am testing.... Efficiency often has zero to do with VRM..........

Ouch £390 is going to be too much for me to justify. £300 tops and that looks like third tier now. It's either buy something else or just wait until the price drops which could be end of the year.

x570 Aorus Ultra MAX TOP should run around £299 - but Pro your looking at £270 with wifi, no idea on non wifi version, maybe cut it down by £20

both packing 12 X 40amp IR 3553's , so Pro looks the cheaper buy

If x570 aorus master is around 380, what is the ultra costing roughly?

What would be the X570 equivalent of the X470 AORUS Gaming 7?

AORUS 7 sits under Pro and Above elite. Unlike the Pro/Ultra and Master its 8 layer PCB but 2 Vrms less - 10x 50amps vs 12 40amps . all have fancy finned heatsink and 8+4 CPU power
 
Efficiency for me is always about clock for clock performance....... relating to memory.... SO is 3200mhz C14 giving same performance at the same CPU clock as on a different board....

Please can you provide me a Ryzen 3800x, Ryzen 3900x, Ryzen 3600x , Ryzen 3700x, Ryzen 3600 plus all the x570 motherboards to be released so that i can test them all and make an informed decision of what i should purchase.

Make that 2 please.

Make that 3 then since they seem fine to allow us to test everything and send back what doesn't work so we can all review at home haha.

guessing whether is a 2 slot of 4 slot dimm, number of PCB layers and general board design will reflect a boards efficiency
 
We are giving this block both a perf and aesthetic upgrade before launch.Working on this right now!!! ASAP ofcourse while hitting the absolute best we can!!!

Bios is also a large factor as well as hardware......

I would say it is mostly about automatic timing choise algorithms in BIOS. Some boards will always give you very relaxed tertiary timings.
 
would be nice this time around not having to spend hours with Ryzen ram calculator . hoping a lot of 3600hz kit regardless of what IC can work off the bat :)

speaking of ram, seems Ripjaw 3600hz b-die been flying off the shelf for under £115

Make your own reviews.... I don't get this review culture..... All reviews are inherently biased....and not in your system for your uses....

I don't try and follow your comments but when i do notice the odd thing, they seem to be inherently stupid and pretentious.

The normal public do not have the opportunity to buy more than one motherboard,cpu or memory. We want to buy only one... and not be guessing which one is going to fill our needs.

Sound awesome, understand about the bios.
So how much, I'll pay you now, ship it when it's ready big man :D
