Dead X99 System - What do I replace it with?

wouldnt buy anything amd for gaming purposes. it will be slower. only thing faster is 8700k ocd and newer. id wait try the rma then see what comes out with the new amd chips. x99 platform is still very fast ingaming ocd.if you can sort your issue still a good few years in it . unless you want cutting edge. ryzen has nothing for it. zen two will probably be as quick gaming wise.

I would probably have the brackets somewhere but no idea ..... must be in a box somewhere.

Considering Im up and running on one of my Garage PCs (runs my CNC machines), I might hang fire a bit. This isnt great but its a baby i7 machine, with my GTX 1080 - so might do for now.

Id like to support OC if possible.

Thanks.

tbh, if you can wait...then i suggest waiting. ryzen 3000 is rumoured to shake the market up.

apparently the midrange 3600x performs similarly, in cinebench to the i9 9900k which costs USD 499.
how would the cinebench scores translate to other programs' (eg games/video editing etc) performance? no one quite knows yet. but most are optimistic that it'll catch up and be very close to the intel equivalents - especially if single thread performance is markedly increased on ryzen 3000.
even if the prices end up as 10-20% more expensive, it's still miles cheaper than current offerings.

again, these are all rumours, so a large pinch of salt is required. but if ryzen 3000 is going to shake up the market as rumours say it will - then buying anything new now, unless you have to, will probably leave you with buyers remorse

same board, but if you look more carefully, the board with the wifi option is cheaper!
and jfyi, no linking to other competitors :p
 
Thanks, noted on all fronts. Feel free to kill the link :)

So May for Ryzen? Mmmmm - pity, few months away. Might need to get this machine back into the garage sooner.
 
So, managed to get an RMA number, top service from OC UK.

Removed the Cooler and CPU to ship the Mobo back, I notice some pins sitting a bit higher than others. They look slightly out of place. How does a Mobo run for 2 years and then suddenly get 'bent pins'? Makes no sense. Should I still RMA it or will it be considered my fault (clearly something has done this)?
