Aorus/Gigabyte X570 - Buildzoid Ripple tests with AORUS & ASUS

How come you don't just get an X470/B450 board, especially if you are considering wasting ~£50 on DDR3 RAM. You can get a DDR4 3200 Crucial kit for £10 more, and do a full system update and have it for 6 months longer, or do you need something specific you hope that B550 will offer? :)
You are absolutely right lol...at the moment I don't really have a compelling reason to upgrade though.
I mean I want to, but probably not at the asking prices currently...it will give a good performance boost to my 3770k, £700 worth of performance boost? Probably not imo.
Maybe I should just stick with my 16gb ram and see what happens with prices of ryzen 3000.
(Really only my CSL mega city that needs more than 16gb ram)
 
Just noticed edit.

That's just mean. I know he has his idiosyncrasies but come on, not cool. :D

Go to your special place, @tamzzy.

@Plec <<<<

Aorus 7 sits between £209 Elite and £260 Pro in VRMm power, but has 8 layer PCB Vs 4 and 6 of the former
Jeez, you're making this holding off thing difficult - as that board ticks all my boxes.

Yep, i'll be taping up my laptop with gaffa tape before i leave the hotel room on Saturday.
 
@Plec

which is way I was telling peeps on Ryzen forum to grab the 3 big X470 flagships fast and get order in with Ryzen 3000 as soon as it went live ! THEN cancel order if reviews were naff .

I was told by Distributors that stocks were low but wasnt allowed to mention it - an Asus one .

hopefully second batch of stock is higher if not we'll see supply and demand start shooting the price up

wow... OCUK sold out ???? was there before ryzen launch, seen numbers under 5 on other sites

OCUK sold nearly 200 3900’s on launch day.
 
>peer pressure<
OK, i'm making a small effigy of you now (no idea what you like but but presume you're dressed head to toe in RGB :D) - so prepare for pain in some very isolated places.

That X470 is in a tab all the time. But so is the Pro... :p

@Plec Got my time slot confirmation and its 16:15 - 17:15. I was hoping for it to be a lot earlier.
@killem - not the best time slot but will give you time to read up on other setups, as posts should start appearing throughout the day of experiences which may give you an initial setup edge.

Best of luck!

EDIT: Ditto @robfosters
 
@Plec I had a shower for the first time in a week yesterday! so actually looking good today! ikea stuff would turn up on ryzen launch day, and naturally wife would make me put it up the next day too :(
missed out on ordering 12 core. Been told via distribution i've got no chance for a while - only £15 cheaper with VAT =/

can pushing the 7 mean you can step up core count or GPU ???

friend went with elite , £15 saving over the Aorus 7 meant he could push 2060 Super which is fair enough over 2060 as he wants to game 1440p 60hz

think there was only 10 x470 aorus 7 boards a day before launch .

@GIGA-Man might have their work cut out flashing boards haha



@Plec - one of those days . work underpaid myself and then child tax peeps want to see this months payslip which is all wrong .... worst part... NO DESK FOR GAMING THIS MORNING! kids up at 5am too... :(

I hope that was through circumstances and not personal choice :eek:
 
3800x and 9900k head to head with 3600hz ram , rtx 2070 - USE THE XTREME :D (@Plec since i know you've got a man crush on it)

PBO vs MCE

board is Z390 ITX ASRock
'Tis a thing of beauty - and from that YouTube link @Danny75 and @Sin_Chase posted it's certainly not going to have any cooling difficulties

Shame he used the Xtreme - his results would have been more damning had he used a sub £300 board. Look forward to the 3800X in a B450/X470 with similar GPU - the bang for buck will really hit home.

This is a forum, you can lie about these things - even by omission. :D

Yep, know the feeling - and then all cardboard straight to the recycling skip. Will the desk cubby hole need tweaking (vent holes, removal of door - new unit as didn't measure)?

Sorry bud, must be particularly frustrating with your contacts :/

It's not a money issue - i'm not rich - but still get a kick out of bang for buck.

The only change i would make is the 3700X to a 3800X if reviews justified it - the 3900X would have 4 cores twiddling their thumbs with my usage unless benching. I may get the 2070s when i upgrade GPU - as actually thinking of swapping out one my Ultrasharps for a 144Hz screen - if i can bring myself to do it. I need access to a quality 27" IPS 144Hz panel for comparison in day to day usage.

If the Pro didn't have a fan i would have bought it - which is why i've found those videos so interesting (who doesn't want to sabotage a £270 MB on receipt :D) - but then my sensible head appears and directs me to the Gaming 7. Would prefer brand new tech - daft, but like to play...

Like @tamzzy - i'm happy to sit and wait for now and watch users comments roll in.

:/

My kids break ribs and remove breath from my lungs at 6am - i really should learn this sleep before 2am skill.
