ROG CROSSHAIR VI HERO

FredFlint · 5 Mar 2017 at 01:47

My X1800 will be delivered on Monday but have no idea when I will get the mobo, thinking of getting a ASUS PRIME B350M-A and an ARCTIC Freezer 13 cooler instead and maybe upgrade latter when stock levels are ok.

Are Asus stopping Crosshair VI sales? Other shop changed status from pre-order available to unknown if this item will be back in stock

There's VERY little stock around of this board.

They should have been better prepared I'm only waiting for this now

My CPU was delivered today, just need a mobo now. Tempted to get an ASUS PRIME B350M-A just so I can finish the build.

Any news on stock?

This is showing as pre order also

For OCUK stock enquiries, please use the pre-sales forum within the customer services section here
For elsewhere, worth speaking to the resellers direct.

But worth noting that stock is pretty awful on Ryzen motherboards currently. But this is due to pick up.

A few places have ASUS PRIME B350M-A and MSI and Gigabyte boards in stock.

Would be nice to hear something about stocks from OCuk. Moving to new house this weekend, so not sure about shipping address (maybe will have to change it or cancel my pre-order)

Few posts above someone replayed.
Btw, isn't better (easier) to inform customers in one post somewhere, instead of replaying to each individual in private forum section?

@Gibbo Any word when stock arrives Gibbo? Other retailers are suggesting this Friday.

I just got an email saying 8th-10th but the preorder is from somewhere else.

Vakas · 7 Mar 2017 at 14:12

I think it will likely be the 10th

AM4 backplate is stuck on using an adhesive film/tape, it takes a bit of jiggling and persuasion to come off. Just thought I'd let you know.

This had me scratching my head with how to get it off, was well stuck on. In the end I just placed the top holes slightly over the edge of the motherboard box and gently pressed down on the threaded part. Then promptly stuck it back on once the Noctua mount came as it requires the stock backplate.

That is unusual never seen it stuck on like that before

Wow, one more thing to stress about

Few German vendors listing a preorder for a V2.2 of this board.

haszek · 7 Mar 2017 at 16:26

There is only one retail version on sale 1.03 according to Elmor

FredFlint · 7 Mar 2017 at 16:26

I just cancelled my pre-order, it’s just too risky. I ordered a MSI B350 TOMAHAWK instead.
