@Gibbo - Is it right that the Mobo+Ryzen bundle doesn't have free shipping, but putting them in the basket separately does?

Correct, buying a CPU enabled basket free shipping. Bundles do not have FREE shipping enabled, so just buy the parts seperately or if the bundle has a discount then just buy what works out cheaper.

I have my eye on this i want fast mhz ram for fps gain

1700X and 1800X - is the difference worth it ? Might just get the 1700X and overclock

I'm guessing you're basically paying for a better binned CPU.

Your core count matches your RAM in GB

1:1 ratio its faster innit.

@Gibbo what's Alpenföhn's plan for AM4 CPU cooler brackets?

Also the checkout seems to be broken for me :S

 

[Martini1991]

Absolutely can't see a problem with the Crosshair pricing.

 

[brigantium]

Isn't it the 28th for reviews and 2nd March is the release date?

That would be a bad move, it would pretty much look like they have something to hide.

I'm in Scotland (and not even in the Highlands), and I get classed as "not mainland UK" on here

Are there more motherboards coming - specifically X370 MicroATX ?

Yes in as few days, if you want CPU, order it now as you have free shipping to get yourself in the queue and then add other items to your basket over the phone when they appear online.

True..
(That's the moment when everyone cancel their pre-orders and wait for actual benchmarks )

Haven't seen anyone doing an X370 mATX board.

 

[Martini1991]

AMD are failing here at marketing, we have no benchmarks or reviews but they're putting up Pre-orders?!

It's AMD, they can't pull off a flawless launch. But at least this time the product seems like it's top notch.

Only the 1700 processor at £319.99, this is the best value, buy this and just overclock it.

Should I treat this as conformation that the 1700 will clock to the same speeds as the 1800x?

No, on paper maybe, but you need a thorough review for that.

Cheers gibbo. Will you be getting the MSI carbon pro's in that time?

Slightly more coming up
Even though I am not a great fan of AMD, I feel kind of hyped. Probably because of lack of competition for Intel for quite a while.
