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

[Spikey]

Good morning! We've just received news from our BIOS team. They will add the option for disabling onboard wifi in an upcoming BIOS update

Great news! Thanks for the swift reply! Must say the board is amazing!

While I am sorry that there is a delay, many people are in the same boat so it's now just a matter of patience.

There are other places with stock that I can see.

None that are reputable? Maybe @ScottiB can give us another ETA update?

Most if not all are sold out even if the listing say otherwise.

Only other reputable vendors are inflating prices.

I believe that I have some stock at the back door awaiting a booking in slot.

The joys of remote working mean that I can't check for myself though.

I might get one of these for a 4700x/4800x but might be tempted by some thing like a 4950x down the road if I end up doing more editing at home. Would this board be good enough for the big Ryzen chips?

More than enough. The breakdown of the board by Buildzoid pointed out that it has upgraded VRMs.

Basically, you're getting a $300 VRM board for far less.

No, you can use m.2 and sata

MSIUK Support - do we know precisely which variant of the 8125 realtek lan chip is being used in this board?

i intend to use it with opensuse tumbleweed and I'm not entirely sure if the driver is in the kernel yet, which might mean mucking around with packaging the driver...

According to the manual, it's the 8125B. Doesn't give any more info than that.

Had delivery of my board earlier today from Overclockers, though dpd seemed to have damaged the shipping box, I'll be checking out the contents thoroughly tomorrow.

Any advice for installation of this board with a Ryzen 9 chip and 8Pack ram, any tweaks I need to make or be aware of in the bios? Should I let Windows auto find the base mobo drivers then go straight to the website for a full installation?

Looking forward to piecing this together!

Definitely grab the audio driver from the MSI site after you're up and running. Possibly latest AMD chipset drivers as well. I'd leave the WiFi/network drivers as Windows installs them, at least until MSI publishes a new driver on their site as I'm pretty sure that the one Windows runs up with is better right now.

BIOS stuff - you'll want the A-XMP profile on for your RAM to begin with (you can manually overclock and tweak timings later). That's about it.

I am so jealous. Send it to me.
