Me too. I'd just grown a bit bored of tech until this release. Now I'm itching to get my hands on a Ryzen rig but having just moved house I've blown the budget on a sofa :-/
Still I think I will have funds to start a build next month so it'll be a slow procurement of chassis, psu and SSDs. Hopefully the initial teething troubles will be overcome and I'll benefit from better support.
For the time being I'm going to try OC my venerable 3570k and see if I can push past 4.4 on a Freezer 13 cooler

Do you still get black screen with new bios?
I'm going tempted to start thread specific to this issue...

I can confirm that bios 115 for the msi b350 has improved memory capability. I 'm now running at 2933 with xmp timings cinebench score went up from 1619 to 1652 for what thats worth to anyone.
Going to try overwatch now to see if i notice an improvement from the 2400.

I did but then I added more voltage and it certainly lasted longer than 30 seconds this time. The temps are getting toasty though as I'm still on the stock cooler (thanks corsair!)

Thanks for the link.

This is the best improvement yet. I can now run 2933 on the ram. Up from 2400

Nice, will see if all 4 sticks will run @2400 tomorrow.
I tried 3200 (2 x 16gig) on a CVI & X370 Prime and could not get either to post, both boards have gone back & my mates are going to wait a couple of months.

It seems the 2933 only lasted for on cycle. After a reboot I've had to back off to 2666. Ryzen is weird.

So you didn't cancel your pre-order after all?
