MSI's X570 Tomahawk May Become Go-To OC Board??

[infyrana]

Hey everyone, thanks for your patience! We can confirm that X570 Tomahawk will be launched at £219.99 including VAT. Timeline is also not changed, in fact, end of May is a higher probability than the first week of June.

So I went to the Overclockers site today to check if stock levels still looked good for ordering one tomorrow, I now find that it's now back on Pre-Order for ETA 3rd of June and the price has increased to £229.99.

Is there a way of honouring the original price ?

cheers

[edit] just to check - if I wait for noctua stock do i run the risk of finding OC'ers out of stock of the X570?

yes

I am going to put the price up slightly because the exchange rate is crap right now and I don't know what price the next lot are going to land at.

What AIO is that ?

Looks good!

Cooler Master ML240P Mirage. I've turned the radiator upside down after taking the photos, to make it easier to keep the tubing from pushing against the glass side on my case (Phanteks P300).

Looks good!

Cheers. Seems to run pretty good too Got some tuning to do to get RAM running at full speed, get fan speeds where I want them and so on.

Thanks for the heads up ! Sorry I didn't catch your original post. Though I'm not sure what exchange rates you need to use, hopefully seeing at least the USD/Euro appearing to be rising a little, you'll have a better price soon enough.

I'll just have to wait for it!

99% of all computer parts are sold in USD and obviously we convert to GBP since we are a British company.

I'll just use the XMP profile on my Corsair RGB pro vengeance. You tried that in BIOS? Have you update the BIOS yet?

Running at A-XMP settings (so 3200 @ CL14). But I want to shoot for higher, and sort out all the subtimings from Ryzen DRAM Calculator. I've had this RAM at 3733MHz in a mate's Intel setup so that's my goal for this machine.

Haven't updated BIOS yet, I saw there was a beta on MSI's site but the fixes listed don't relate to my setup so I haven't bothered with it.

@ScottiB Sorry to bother you, but my order was dispatched yesterday, but DPD tracking is stating they have not received the package yet?

Did get an email saying delivery was 2nd June?

Are you able to look into this at all please?

Thanks!

Hey,

DPD's tracking will update around 7:30-8pm so check back then.

I've removed your order number as this part of the forum is public, normally for order queries you need to post in the customer service sub forum.

Mine on its way to local hub. Roll on tomorrow

Thanks bud. I'm really happy with how this refreshed setup turned out. Couple of things I might change down the line, but for now I'm just going to tweak and tune on it.

Speaking of which - RAM now @ 3733, FCLK 1866 with DRAM Calc safe timings and volts. Figure that's alright for day one!

***edit***

It wasn't quite enough for day one. 3800/1900 set now.

 

[Spikey]

Tomorrow is going to be a long day at work knowing my board will be sat waiting!


Edit: board is due by 0945! Roll on home time half 5!

 

[eeek]

My board is still on it's way to DPD's local hub - while I don't need it until the weekend I would prefer for it to be sat in my house.

Have you tested performance as you go or are you just chasing numbers?

During our testing we found that gaming performance actually dropped when the memory was pushed north of 3600MHz. AMD later admitted that above 3600Mhz-3733Mhz (depending on CPU quality) a divider is enabled on the infinity fabric and this can negatively affect performance for most applications. The reason for this divider is to enable the CPU to cope with REALLY high memory clock speeds for application specific solutions (i.e. professional systems). You'd have to push memory speeds to about around 4600MHz to get back to the same level of gaming performance.

Generally, the best performance results are gained from 3600MHz with really low latency settings.

I haven't personally tested Ryzen OC since early X570 engineering samples but some boards allow you to control this infinity fabric speed now I believe. It might be worth doing some research, but if you are building a gaming PC I'd definitely suggest that you go back to 3600MHz and run some benchmarks each time you adjust a setting.
