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

It's £320 so a completely different price bracket. Why not go for the MSI X570 Unify that is £20 cheaper at £300? That's what I did and I don'tr regret it for one second... paying the £60 extra to actually have a working system was well worth it otherwise I would have been waiting literally weeks and there is no way that is worth saving £60... enjoying my free time is worth more than a couple of measly quid per day of waiting!
MSI told me the 8th but that's MSI's ETA's for you.

You can get it for about the Unify's price if you look in the right place. Also it's what Gibbo & 8pack recommend. Whoever they are
managed to speak to the forwarder this afternoon. We'll get them some time on Monday.So today isn't looking likely then
Nice to know i ordered one last weekend so hopefully get it next week.

I ordered mine on Tuesday and was told 100 units were expected and there was 51 on preorder so hopefully should get one next week
I ordered mine on..... 13th of June. Though to be fair I'm also waiting on a Monitor Pre Order.

I assume I am number 52 as I ordered straight away after speaking to the sales guy, so you must be much lower number than me 
. I am wondering if i should cancel and buy something else, fancy the unify but its £80 more. Any one know if the asus strix e is any good.

Buy it or the Unify, it doesn't make much difference, just make a decision and get your build on.You can get it for about the Unify's price if you look in the right place.

What madness is this that you would wait over a month for an order that allows you to build a PC just to save on a pittance of postage costs (assuming it wasn't free postage, in which case this would be sheer unbridled muppetry)? Separate the orders!
Its the motherboard. How much of a PC can i build without one of those? Its a full build, not a few spare parts. I'm upgrading from a 10yr old machine so starting from scratch. Because of the size of the order i'm paying for it on finance and I was told that finance orders can't be split and i don't wanna mess around cancelling/reordering at this point.

Sensible to wait, if you're after 32inch sammy also, it hopefully won't be too much longer, the build will last you 10 years if you want it to, so worth a weeks wait.
I see, and in that case it sheds a different light on the information you previously provided which clearly made it sound like you had ordered the board and the monitor and were waiting on the monitor.

sod it, cancelled and bought the asus strix x570 e instead, picking it up this afternoon. It has a few features that was missing on the tomahawk so decided to change it.
