Didn't wait for reviews then?

More boards live https://www.overclockers.co.uk/pc-c...intel-motherboards/z790-motherboards-lga-1700 now wheres that elusive Apex
They seem quite the kit, I need to check how tall these are.
£484.99 for a motherboard HA HA HA HA HA more than the CPU, ASUS must be dreaming! I mean, I have been into aviation for a decade so my concept of spending money for my hobby isn't exactly on the cheap side, however there, there is value and there is no much alternative that "flies" really, to game a PC isn't the only platform and honestly £500 motherboard £500 processor and £300 ram.... what used to be up until covid a midlevel build, and covid along with shortage is long far gone along with the array of excuses. @ASUS UK guys come back to planet earth
All of this with, by looking at the Excitement at EGX a couple of weeks ago, most people are excited about indies with very subpar triple A.

Not much in the way of value on the new stuff is there. Thankfully still 12600K and the MSI Z690 pro-A
Can see many people going to console for AAA and playing indie on PC they have already as they by and large play on potatoes

Pricing is whack, £ is up, price needs correcting.

Eesh, both companies have expensive products. I know there are various reasons why but it's a far cry from the days when excellent gaming chips like the i5's were under £200, and the 3600 non-x.
Still, unless low res high-fps is the name of the game there are plenty of capable options from the older product lines with cheap DDR4.

DIMMs that are optimized for quad-channel configuration are typically sold in four-packs. Not all memory modules of the same model are “born” equal and those four-packs are actually cherry-picked modules with matching timing. So, going dual there is pro and cons
I read Intel 13th Raptor Lake processors are not improving on the maximum DDR 4 memory speed only DDR 5.

Why is there no Gigabyte Z790 motherboards only Asus?

I’m not sure where you got this info but it’s just wrong. There no Special 4 pack optimised dimms. The same bin just happens to be sold in a 4 pack. 2 pack or 4 pack of the same bin, make and model are the same thing. I can buy two single dimms individually of the same bin, make and model and it‘d be no different than buying a 2 pack.
The board memory topology makes all the difference. We haven’t had T-top boards since z390 so populating 4 dimm slots will have a notably lower frequency ceiling than 2. Daisy chain signalling is optimised for 2 dimms. This is on top of having a lowered ceiling as you go up in overall memory capacity.

I read it somewhere, anyway Four ranks of memory will give you up to 15% more performance than two it's always going a debate on 2 vs 4 dimm, it's just personal preference
I found this old thread.

As the 2nd post states, the reason they're seeing better performance isn't due any reason except that they went from a single rank configuration to a dual rank configuration. This allows 'rank interleaving' to take place which is where the performance is coming from.
Rank Interleaving on DDR4 is quite strong. Eventually though, we started getting Dual Rank kits which made 2x16 much more attractive than 4x8 due to the Daisy Chain topology only boards starting with Z490.
FYI. Rank Interleaving on DDR5 isn't as noteworthy. There are technical reasons for that but in general, not anything to worry about

Any plans on getting the 13700F or 12700F in stock?Hi there
INTEL Raptor Lake is now available to pre-order, our pricing is very good.
Intel 13th Gen Raptor Lake Processors
Enjoy phenomenal performance across a wide variety of workloads, from gaming to content creation, with an Intel 13th Gen Raptor Lake processor.www.overclockers.co.uk
With the Gibbo formula of RCP / $ rate + VAT + Margin, the i9 should now be ~£634 and the i7 ~£446. The i7 at £499 has a larger mark-up than the i9.

Retailers might order at a certain fixed exchange rate, so if the pound improves over the next weeks, it doesn't change the price of that order, even if the stock doesn't arrive for weeks.
Their purchase prices will only change on the next order.
With this being a pre-order scenario, I don't suppose that many orders have been placed.

I'd be surprised if big retailers don't cover currency in advance. The only times you wouldn't is times like now if you were planning quite bit further forwards.
any changes only ever work in the retailers favour for sure.
if the current inventory was bought at 1.20, future inventory is bought at 1.10 you think they don't just change the price straight away?
