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

I wish I had that possibility. My C6H will just not update the bios though so I can't keep using it. It's also making me not want to get an Asus board next time too.

If you're trying to flash to 7003, I think you may need the most up-to-date chipset driver from the AMD site. IIRC 7002 you had to flash via BIOS Flashback (usb port on the IO) so give that a try. Load optimised defaults first though.

I mean PCIE 3 came out within 8 months, 4 is awkward, but still it should not take that long unless there's some issue with Intel/AMD.

4 was delayed quite a lot IIRC. I suspect PCI-E 5 will be Intel's big announcement alongside DDR5 ~2021/2022

I think a lot of this hype for X570 is just FOMO, if they were reasonably priced then that's a different matter altogether but they're not. Look at the prices of those NVME drives on this thread, absolute madness, 99% of people will see no benefit whatsoever. Nearly £500 for 2TB of storage and that's all it is, storage. Crazy.

The 3600? that hype seems justified it looks like a stonking chip. Got to seperate the wheat from the chaff.

Wanted to write the same. It's just crazy, who would need to pay twice the price for PCIE 4.0 2TB SSD as compared to an ordinary 2TB SSD when in real terms the difference will be hardly noticeable unless tested in synthetic benchmarks? Also, why would you pay a hundreds of pounds more for a motherboard with PCIE 4.0, what can justify such an increase in price? Nothing at all, it's just pure rip off. If it was say £50 quid more expensive than the previous gen motherboard of comparable performance segment I would say OK.

Thanks, I might try that. Last time I tried multiple methods, multiple bioses and multiple times and all I ended up doing was corrupting my windows install. It made me not want to try.

Any one editing 4k video would want it but for your average consumer / gamer then the PCIE X4 ssd's are not going to show any benefit. Hence why I picked up a Samsung evo pro for a good price last week.

Could you imagine though 30 GB/s M2 drives, Ram speeds baby.

I made a RAM disk from four Samsung 970 Pro's that was hitting 12.3GB/s write on a TR4 system, used for buffering PCI-E input from a high resolution multi-camera system, it wasn't fast enough, so 30GB/s would be nice. :)

PC Gaming has become one of the biggest rackets going, but, it can be done brilliantly at half the price or less if you use your loaf and don't allow yourself to get panicked into buying half useless hype-tech. NVME - you don't need, PCI-4.0 can't make use of, 3600MHZ Ram they're hyping up now, you don't need that either.

But NVME cuts down on a disgusting wire and huge piece of flappy metal, absolute need.

I could not update to 7002, had to use flashback and to get flashback to work I had to format my USB and use the rename tool on the BIOS file, after that it was ok. I used flashback again to go to 7003 without problems.
