BTW it's awesome that r7 1700 US costs already $269 (maybe prices will go down here as well, atm £275) with RRP $329 which is $60 less after only 4 months! Intel would never lower their prices of i5 and i7s. Even now 7700k (released earlier than ryzen) with RRP $305 costs in US ...$309.
Next time I'll be getting zen2 I'll wait few months for some decent savings

Have my little system up and running, so far very happy with the performance of it. The 3200mhz ram i got upto 3066 so far and i can only guess with more updates it'll be running at full pelt soon enough. Even got a slight overclock of the cpu with it at 3750mhz, not entirely sure of the voltage, think its at stock or a little over it, still tinkering with some options.
Gaming performance is really good, some of the reviews stated 2500k performance gameplay, which is utter bs from what i'm seeing so far. Using a fury x on my previous matx board on a 2600k at 3.5 bf1 at 1440p would see dips down past the 60fps range even with some settings dialled down, this is running ultra with the same fury x locked to 60fps, the only time it dips to any degree is at the end of round screen where the camera zooms out from your character. Was doing similar before any overclock was involved though didn't play with it long enough at stock to see if this held out over different maps.
Just waiting on my am4 bracket arriving so i can plonk my liquid cooler onto it

While the DIY micro server is interesting, it would be nice if HP came out with a Ryzen 3 based MicroServer Gen11 with validated ECC. A pity the MicroServer Gen10 just came out and although it's AMD powered, it uses a Cat core. That CPU's an APU though (the Gen10 has two DP ports), so any new Gen11 etc. might have to wait for the Zen APUs. Ryzen being a SOC, it should be possible to make a very cheap simple mobo for it.
Let's hope so.

That doesn't make any sense, the 1300X is surely better than the 1400 
Soldato
Surely 4C/8T for the 1300X is a typo?
Caporegime
The 1200 and 1300X are both 4C 4T.
The 1400 is 4C 8T
The 1400 is 4C 8T

Interestingly there are no 1000 or 1100 series SKUs. I wonder if that means AMD will have a 2C/4T set of SKUs.
Don
Yep.

It'd be nice to have a G4560 style chip around the £50 mark though, unless that price point will be covered by the APUs.

No overclock
Failing to boot, 4 diagnostic LEDs just cycle from RAM back to CPU and fails to post. Tried both sticks of ram in all 4 slots to no avail.
Dead RAM?

Test one ram module at a time to diagnose.
It should do. As it is mostly about having a basic machine for relatively simple and lightweight tasks, so not having a worry about discrete gpu is perfect.
I'd like to see it sub £40 for the most basic 2c4t APU with the smallest igpu. Really stick it to the competition.
The odds of both RAM sticks being dead is incredibly low. If there is a 1% DOA rate then we are talking 1% x 1%.

Sorry worded that badly. Tried both sticks individually across all four slots. Tried clearing CMOS and also using the backup bios
