Well with OcUK loweirng the price of the RIVE I went ahead and ordered that.

I only realy wanted the BE for the enhanced sound, but ill just put the money saved now towards a dedicated £120 sound card.

Same mate I couldn't wait any longer

Is it realy worth it? Or do you mean if you get a bad cpu, intentially blow it up and go again?

I got it for mine and from what i have read, no need to blow it up! just tell em it needs more vcore at stock volts, otherwords it has degraded.

The EVGA Dark is looking nice tbh now. Theres another new bios released and the overvolting has been fixed. The overvolting was for overclocking and EVGA has included a bios fix to disable if you please. Seriously considering this board just for a nice xmas present.

Mr Orange wont be back.

Berno · 12 Dec 2013 at 15:45

I'm surprised Mr Orange came on at all. As above he won't be back until he can give us some good news, I suspect that won't be any time soon.

In a way it actually makes it worse that he comes on here - makes one post and then goes missing - sort of rubs it in - and this is from someone who actually got one of these boards.

agreed

Asus build good boards as we know but there support is probably the worst out of any. I wont be buying any of there hardware for a good while from now on. A good while as in a few years.

tons of problems with r4be bios to be honest, don't expect r4be is as good as r4e in terms of stability after OC.

Going by how 8 Pack has got on, the RIVE BE is probably better than the RIVE.

Seems I have a warm reception awaiting me!

Firstly I'd like to say that any criticism aimed at OcUK/Andrew is totally unjustified. From what I can see he has been giving up to date, correct information.

Stock of the RIVBE has been very, very limited (Captain Obvious), not just to OcUK, but everywhere in the UK and the rest of Europe as matter of fact.

I'm going to inquire to see what the latest on this situation is and let you all know asap. Apologies for the frankly abysmal levels of stock available.

Any updates please.

And a wild tumble weed goes by

Jraybo · 12 Dec 2013 at 21:39

Really disappointed there have been no updates (especially as I'm so close ie 2nd in the queue) even if the update is forget it before Christmas which I think is pretty much a reality at this point, but without an update perhaps we are now getting well into Jan before we will see anything.
Just noticed as well still in stock at newegg in the states due to a plentiful supply being sent there, which is another kick in the teeth...

I only want to say at this stage with first release bios, r4be is not as stable as r4e. of course, with future bios updates, r4be will get better.

Nickolp1974 · 12 Dec 2013 at 22:29

@Kaap have you got it built up yet bud?? How are you finding it??

Shall not be getting one till late jan, early feb so hopefully there may be some stock by then.
