AMD Zen 2 (Ryzen 3000) - *** NO COMPETITOR HINTING ***
- Thread starter Jamin280672
- Start date
For me it would depend on the price and spec of each.
OcUK customer services are the people to answer that for you.
Blimey, it's amazing when 1 side doesn't know what the others doing, my 3700x was dispatched today but yet live chat said it could be weeks lolllol. Well I'm glad I'll have it tomorrow so I can install it when the GF is asleep. Shhhhhh
Got one
Got one
From Gibbo regarding the 3700X
So they do have them?! I'm so confused :'(
when mine (3900x) arrives i have 2 kits of 3600mhz dominator platinums rgb to push to the max
Thanks that's good to know!

I’d probably go with the X570i TBH.
No I've ordered somewhere secret, I would have preferred to order from OCUk but they can't deliver to drop off points which I prefer due to parcel theif
msi b450 pro carbon has a bios flashback so no need for you to get the athlon
Not a bad shout, the jump isn't massive price wise so might be a better for as you say, future proofing

I'm genuinely not pro Intel/anti AMD I ran 4870/4890 295x2 quadfire, 6990 Quadfire, 290 trifire (yes very hot and noisy) 5970/5870 trifire plus Athlon 64 Venice/Barton x2 etc so I've given AMD thousands of pounds of my own money.
They've always been very good at hardware and I've always tried to buy them for my own personal use. I was running 3Dfx Voodoo 2 SLI nearly 20 years ago (yes entirely irrelevant).
I've been a tech journalist and I dislike Intel's anti-competitive practises and Nvidia's viral marketing/shilling and the fact they've recently been taking the **** with prices. Zen 2 launch is overall good but unfortunately
Adored TV's videos and the general consensus that we'd see 4.5ghz routinely on Zen 2 before launch has built an unrealistic expectation. I don't mean to be annoying and I understand someone saying these things
about the Zen launch might grate a bit especially if you're emotionally attached to Zen 2 performance (as in you've already bought into the ecosystem) but it needs to be said.
AMD are back with a vengeance in the CPU space and it's an incredible achievement in the circumstances given their resources, finally we have competition again but I wish their Marketing/PR managed expectations better.
Adored TV is someone I don't watch tbh so I can't comment on him. Anything pre-launch should be considered as hype. Many get carried away which is understandable when its a big launch.
I don't get emotionally attached to products or brands - life is too short. I buy the best value at the time to fit my needs.
I agree that their marketing/PR maybe should have jumped on excessive performance claims - but I guess if they did that their wouldn't be much time to do anything else.
I'm having some issues with DPD which everyone seems to use. What courier are you able to use a drop off?
From OcUK?
Cheers. Just looking at RAM and thinking if it’s worth hunting down something exotic.
4K/60. Was tempted by a 3900X but if the uplift isn’t worth it, I’m not sure there’s much point.
Don’t know why but I expected a bit more of a boost with the improved IPC and clocks.
