I paid 649.99 for the X670E Hero, so hoping this board is better.

 

[Rob_B]

That is crazy money !

New boards starting at £200 (for now) might not put any downward pressure on low/mid range just yet, we can hope though.

See some still come with PCIE gen 4

New mobo's have dropped at OcUK

Ouch!

Asus ROG Strix X670E-I @ £400
or
Asus ROG STRIX X870-I @ £408.98

on the brightside there will loads of reviews to go through tonight

Interestingly only gskill have made it to the QVL list for the mobo I want, they have 2 kits rated at 800MT

F5-8000J3848H16GX2-TZ5RS @ 40-48-48-128 and 1.35V

and

F5-8000J4048F24GX2-TZ5RK @ 40-48-48-128 and 1.35V

That makes my choice a bit easier, gskill it will be. The F5-8400J4052G24GX2-TR5G is not supported yet in that list, but Im presuming I could get it and if it isn't stable, downclock to 8000?

If anyone has a link on any guides on how to tighten timings up Id appreciate it, I have plenty on how to overclock, not so much on how to tighten timings.

That video is comical, the best part is here which I have time-stamped:

I'm still not sure why even the "peasants" would buy a B840

The 9900x3d will be ideal for me if it has cache on both ccds. Really is what I have been waiting for to replace my 5900x. When are these expected to release?

I'm hoping the same, currently have a 7900X and was planning on going to a 9800X3D. But if the 9900X3D has cache on both I would go for that. They are expected early next year.

yet to see what dual ccd x3d cache will do for gaming other then less issue with software deciding which ccd to use, but you'll still only be using 6 cores for gaming , some games are benefiting using 8 cores

@LtMatt if you get a chance, can you run the same preset 1080p high with no upscaling? Also, do you have a W11 image or just purely on W10?

Yeah I can give it a go, I can compare it to windows 11 too.

A lot of money for a wifi 7 receiver lol

Apparently it gets bested by the £280 X870 tomahawk in games and benchmarks according to this.

Same here the 5900x is still a beast but 2 CCD with vcache will get me to upgrade

That's why I will wait and see what the reviews say, once all the 3D CPU's are out.

Maybe because its not funny mocking people who can't afford top stuff, more so when its coming from a company selling those parts
