Paying for all that lovely special PCIe 4 copper!I paid £225 for my CH6 - how is the CH8 over £100 more?

I was looking at the CH8 too, given my experiences with the MH6 and Taichi. At that price I'm now looking at dropping a teir to the Strix Gaming F.I paid £225 for my CH6 - how is the CH8 over £100 more
Anyone care to hazard a guess as to how Strix and Hero are likely to compare for overclocking? I'm guessing the Strix will have fewer options that I won't really use anyway and good but not overkill VRMs?

I'd spend up to £350 if I was getting higher clocks for my money. So maybe if 4.8ghz was attainable all cores. It looks from the Anandtech analysis like AMD is saying keep ram to 3600 to avoid using a divider, so I wouldn't be doing any ambitious memory overclocking.
I've got a USB DAC and a pcie WiFi card, so network and sound are pretty much irrelevant for me.

Interesting - it'll be fun to set how far I can push my 3200 kit in that case. It's rated for up to 4500 supposedly...
see below.
i suspect best (sensible) performance = 3733 with as low a cas latency as you can achieve.
For gaming it's pretty darn sure that going over it lowers performance.
Not only does memory latency increase, but also communication between CCXes suffers from halving of IF bus speed.
this indeed.

Decision made I think, Gigabyte Aorus Xtreme please.

It's the one I want as well, but I'll be doing a full build with a finite budget - might have to forego the mobo I want in favour of more GPU horsepower.
The ASUS ROG Crosshair VIII Impact and the Gigabyte X570-I Aorus Pro look the most interesting to me. If I end up getting the Impact, just got to hope and pray nothing goes wrong with it, otherwise there'll be the headache of dealing with the dreaded ASUS customer "support".
Do we feel that ITX has the power delivery etc.. to handle the top chips, 3900x / 3950x
If you're willing to put up with his rambling, Buildzoid seems to think the Gigabyte X570-I Aorus Pro VRM will be able to handle the 16 core 3950X:

However, the VRM heatsink performance is totally unknown, so it may need modding or some extra help with cooling if running an overclocked 3950X.
@an0nym0us interesting, I'll keep an eye on that.
@String
impact is 4 phases with pseudo-doubling * 70A power stages = 560A
Aorus itx is 6 true phases * 70A power stages = 420A
Strix is 4 phases with pseudo-doubling...powerstage config not released, but most seem to think it would be 40A = 320A
One can argue that the aorus would provide the cleanest power due to having 6 true phases rather than having 4 pseudo-doubled phases

Underneath the armour inbetween the pcie slots. You can see the screws that you need to undo.
Anyone else showing love for the Asrock X570 Creator?
I can’t find much at the moment in terms of the detail, but it seems to be one of the most feature rich boards overall with 2xTB3 and 10gbe, and hopefully a good deal cheaper than the Aqua.

Im all in for the X570 Asrock Taichi i think
