*** AMD "Zen" thread (inc AM4/APU discussion) ***

[kieran_read]

What you using that many drives for? Video editing/storage or some kind of uber NAS?

I'll be doing a computer rotation, Ryzen will become my main PC for gaming and video editing, current 2500k will become my NAS / HTPC, and my FX6300 will be given to my friend Just hoping the parts aren't delayed too much, I have sod all to do this weekend but I have a feeling I won't make the first batch as I didn't order my 1700X and mobo until Saturday...

I've yet to order and wont until i get back from work on the 2nd. So i'll probably not get anything until the end of March, mind you will give me time to order a NZXT AM4 bracket... mind you i'm probably gonna get the Asus Crosshair so kinda no need for it.

this may be the board im going with because of the 10 satas, im hoping for a bios update asap too as id like to use corsair lpx 3000

Lol, and I thought the eight SATAs on the GB Gaming 5 was overkill XD

all my movie discs are now on hdd's i have 4 8tb's and 1 4tb and thats only going to grow over the years (though the price of the 8tb's has jumped since i purchased mine for some reason)

i havent purchased any parts yet im waiting till i see a review or 12, a complete new build is a rarity to me so i want to be sure.

I only have 6 on my file server, but have 6 more using PCIe cards. Wasn't possible to get more than 6 without spending a lot more on the motherboard.

i have one part on the way, a am4 bracket for the dark rock pro 3 , dont even have the cooler yet either, but il have a bracket in my hands reading the reviews (that's not a euphemism)

Just noticed on an American retailers website they have the Crosshair listed as having a release date of 09/03/2017 and the Carbon as 07/03/2017. Also noticed another UK supplier with an ETA of 08/03 for the TaiChi

 

[Goody_GTI]

Gibbo is alive!!!

Sure I read on another thread OcUK had done over 1000 pre orders

 

[loxocemus]

does anyone think intel will be rattled enough after ryzen launch, if its everything amd says it is, that intel will do some drastic price cuts, because i hope they have more of an answer than the 7740k

 

[brigantium]

I have also noticed on EU sites that ETA for some random motherboards is next week, Asus ones are probably sold out in most places.

I'm seeing anything ranging from In Stock and shipping on the 2nd to the 10th as far as stock for the board I've ordered

I can confirm that the poster of the 10,000th reply in this thread will receive Blessing of Keller, enabling their chip to reach 5GHz on air.

Should only take about 5mins to get there.

I heard if we get to 20,000 replies before the NDA lifts they will unlock all the chips to 1900X which has support for AVX1024 and has a base clock of 5GHz

No they will receive the curse of Intel and be charged twice for their preorder

 

[Spyhop]

No they will receive the curse of Intel and be charged twice for their preorder

I thought the curse of Intel was having an unwanted iGPU squatting in your chip taking up space

Videocardz have a pic of an MSI board I hadn't seen yet - the X370 version of the SLI Plus. No idea on specs yet, but aesthetically, it's my favorite Ryzen mobo so far.

Edit: On second viewing, it's a bit meh

I might just reuse my Noctua NH-D14 if I do upgrade. Should do a stellar job?

Is there a big performance difference between the 14 and the 15?

Would you spend the £75 on a new Noctua NH-D15 when you already have a 14?

I want the Thermalright Le Grand Macho RT cooler now after the recommendation from this thread.
