I'm just waiting till the 2nd to make my mind up on whether to go Ryzen or not. I'm pretty sure I will be I want to see what Anandtech says about it because I trust their reviews. I think I might go for the Asus seeing as I have an Asus motherboard at the moment and they seem to support their motherboards pretty well for quite a long time.

Depends. 1T is always preferable, but performance can vary. 1T at certain speeds will possibly be tricky for awhile till things improve, definitely with more than 2 DIMMs.

Below is what I have. I noted 2T somewhere but I believe that AMD is normally 1T. hence the question.
If you are watching the live event through twitch you might be better off or like to use AMD Youtube as it has just gone up, bit of a wait though.

Falls into the territory of what I was saying earlier. Currently majority of kits are binned by the vendors at 2T. It's simply easier to do so and makes things easier for the memory controller. As for Ryzen, you'll just have to see what's achievable and what isn't at 1T. GSKILL is normally a good choice as they are all hand binned, but newer kits such as the Tridents have higher guarband margins generally, so if you can I'd opt for one of those over the Ripjaws. That said, until more kits get validated everything is in Benny Hill mode.

As yet that 3400Mhz+ screenshot of a 1700x I think with memory overclocking was at 1t, and the rumour is that the AMD IMC is locked to 1t.

Yep. Although I think a lot of the press gubbins are having to use pretty high binned Intel kits (4Ghz) to get that far. This was always going to be an issue to an extent. It may be the case that certain IC respond completely differently to that on Intel - like some of the earlier Hynix kits perhaps being more preferable, but that is speculation. But as I said in my reply in the other thread to your post, it's questionable still if there's any need being up that high.

Here is a review of the AM3+ Wraith cooler:
http://wccftech.com/amd-wraith-cooler-hyper-212-evo/
There are some other reviews which also indicate the AM3+ version was pretty decent for a stock cooler.
So not quite, I'll probably buy a new cooler if I upgrade anyway it's annoying having to order the bracket.

The Wraith Spire looks to be a larger cooler,so I would probably wait and see how reviews look.

I have also got that same memory, im hoping the 1800x and the asus crosshair should work straight off, hopefully with XMP2.0 settings but we will find out in the next few days....

I'm so sad, I want to buy a Ryzen CPU just for that cooler.

watch reference RX 500 series GPUs get RGB coolers too.
Its a good move, this sort of polishing of their products helps a lot, now AMD are starting to get it right.

It seems Corsair has confirmed 4 DIMMs can be populated with 3000MHZ DDR4.
Orangekhrush just posted this. He was right a while back about the memory situation.
"some inside info, only one motherboard vender has not surpassed 3200Mhz RAM speeds, the Crosshair VI is guaranteed to hit 3800Mhz and with Ryzen it loves high frequency RAM, it is like nitrous to a top fueler"

Yeah just read that, he's been pretty spot on so far with his info.
Edit to add : Scone.. better start boxing up your X99 system mate

I've been extremely tempted to do it as well. Hell could sell some AMD shares to finance it.
Must resist the new and shiny!
