What about motherboards, do you have the full complement in ready to go? It's the prices of these I'm afraid of

*** AMD "Zen 4" thread (inc AM5/APU discussion) ***
Agreed, the 20c seems huge but it'd be nice to see what that means in 'real terms', which for me would be with a decent air cooler and/or AIO with PBO etc rather than just a fixed clock.
But in general it does seem like de-lidding would be a really good idea for most people getting it. I wonder if they'll reduce the thickness in the future, either by reducing z-height (I assume not given the lengths they went to for AM4 compatibility) or whether the 3D Cache setups will inherently use a thinner IHS...
£250-£300 for the cheapest one ??What about motherboards, do you have the full complement in ready to go? It's the prices of these I'm afraid of

Indeed, most are pre-order with cheapest being £289.99 for the x670-p. The TUF seems like it will be best balanced from Asus for Price to features.

I got burnt wtih early adopting before and with the new 7000 series that might actually be literal so i'll stick with what I got for now, maybe pick up a 2nd hand 5900X in future

Will OCUK ever deliver to Ireland again.

@ScottiB is our motherboard PM, he knows more details.
Complications of Brexit, I believe it is an ongoing issue with no solution yet.

Not up to be an early adopter this time around, awaiting better DDR5 and hopefully less compromises on the motherboard i end up choosing. Have fun though
Yeah, bad time to upgrade atm. DDR5 pricing and kits are heading in the right direction, but for a noticeable difference over well tuned DDR4 b-die, you need to spend a fair whack.

Assume it's due to the motherboards costing more than the CPU. Zen 4 is not going to sell at the mid-end until it gets motherboards that cost nearer a £100, but reports are lowest priced board for the B650 is likely to be around £150, Intel boards start at half that and the CPU's are cheaper.

Most of the H610's are around £80, but best to skip the H610's, the B660's though occasionally go below £90, with the good ones starting around £100.
The issue with the AMD B650's is that the likely rubbish ones start at around $125 (that price is from AMD themselves), so the ones actually worth using are likely to be nearer $200, so after taxes you are talking £200+ for a normal motherboard.
From the review it looks like the new amd mobos will be very very expensive, so i can see myself getting a used 12th gen intel mobo and new 13th gen cpu instead.

The high end B550 boards were only £120-£130 so shall see how the B650 do in comparison tbh.
because it comes in a blue box, obviously

Seeing the temps of the 7000 series we now can justify calling AMD "team red"
