MSI B450 TOMAHAWK MAX not to be sold on Overclockers?

Old Man · 22 Jul 2019 at 15:23

My son called to ask when they might get the mobo in, but was told there was nothing at all on it.

Can somebody confirm this please?

They will get it since normal one is pretty much out of stock everywhere now or soon will be, all new stock will be the MAX

I asked Gibbo in this thread, pending reply.

There's nothing official regarding release dates are there? I was under the impression all those pre-orders on other sites were pretty much place-holders so they probably don't know anything.

Rumours are it'll be sometime in August/Sept, according to the MSI subreddit.

the cynic in me says it will be a month after all the msi non-max boards go out of stock.
(so the suckers that bought the non-max boards will not be able to exchange it for a max version)

I was waiting for the standard mobo to come back in to stock and or buy it from somewhere else until I was informed of the MAX mobo, so what a
mistake I almost made, so waiting is no problem.

What mistake?

Other than a cut down graphics on the bios and no more support for 1st Gen CPU’s, the original boards will act the same as the new MAX boards?

A cynic may opine that MSI are using the current compatibility issues to do a cheap MB refresh and charging a extra £15/20 per board straight profit

Well, just thinking that MSI updating the mobo for only a few pounds more than the current one is a good deal and happy not to have bought an older tech; nothing more than that really.
