That was a sarcastic joke btw, incase anyone thinks I've gone crackers, I wouldn't mind a new Dragon board though lol.

Held off buying memory early, I wonder if we will have kits specifically tuned to AM4. H'mm...

DDR4 is just DDR4, the current stuff works absolutely fine, we've being playing and testing Zen for months and just using Kingston, Corsair, Teamgroup memory etc. without issue. :)

Gibbo, will the -X SKUs that include the Wraith Max cooler be listed too, or is it just the 1700 that's coming with a stock cooler?
 
£88 for the cheapest B350 is a bit disappointing considering the cheapest Z270s are £115. Was expecting more like £60, especially considering Ryzen is more SoC-like than even Kaby Lake.
 
Funny that some supporters are saying `wait wait wait`...... the very same advocate intel for everything. A correlation? nah never.

Mobo manufacturers have seen what Intel users are willing to pay. Zen is a SOC ffs, the chipset is even cheaper than it used to be, AMD are absolutely destroying Intel in CPU pricing, but they've decided to milk the chipset, doesn't seem plausible to me.

Mobo manufacturers just putting completely worthless marketing junk on motherboards to jack up pricing then push those prices up so high they push up the lower end mobos a bit to follow them. £154 for the Asus seems a tad overpriced to me, with brexit and the pound as it is, we should have seen the £100-110 boards without all the gimmicks move up to the £125-130 price point imo.

If the boards were comprised of a buck controller and 2 native USB ports, you'd still find something to moan about :D
 
Bloody hell, the Asus Hero Mobo expensive and does not look as good as my Hero (aesthetically). That together with the expensive RAM is me out, definitely going to wait until 2018 and see what's what then.
