Whether or not an upgrade to x470 is required to get a significant boost here will decide if I go 2600x or 8700k.
It's all well and good supporting the AM4 socket, but if you need the new chipset it's meaningless.
If it comes to buying a new board and cpu for me it may as well be Z370 8700k.

The easy upgrade path with Zen was what made it so appealing.

It should just be a drop-in for you Phil surely? And tbh, if you don't intend to upgrade your cpu for a while it might be worth going 2700x? Sorted for at least a few years then, no more messing just a gfx upgrade when required.

Maybe some will mess up the time zone and publish their review an hour earlier

The new cpus fit, but the new chipset is supposed to support better mem speeds, better OC, plus the new precision boost stuff etc I believe.

Will see when reviews come out.

No reason to go 8/16 for me. Especially when 7nm Zen should be a must have if sticking to this platform.

Ok fair enough. I think if you're manually tweaking then their isn't going to be a great deal of difference between the chipsets anyhow. Like you say, see what the guys here get first with their existing X370 boards and go from there

Looks like LOLN1 was getting good results with the same board as I have.

JediFragger · 19 Apr 2018 at 09:04

Remember the AMD cpu's will probably drop a little a couple of weeks after launch (unless supply becomes tight!).

Surely some rogue site will publish early "by accident" just for the ad revenue.

Seems there's only the Asus boards arrived so far (OcUK, least the Aorus Ultra and MSI basic gamer ain't in) so I'm gonna stick with the Prime and see how I do. Still conflicted about jumping in the car to go get it (3hr round trip)

i've just dropped £550 on the 2700x and the asus rog crosshair vii hero, i dont know why but i have a good feeling about ryzen2, i always miss out buying new components so i've made sure to get one, fingers crossed

first amd upgrade in 8 years

jrwagh333 · 19 Apr 2018 at 09:15

What I am really interested in is if the memory latency will make any differences to minining .I use my 1600 to mine when my PC is idol and it makes enough to cover small bills by the end of the month.

LOLN1 · 19 Apr 2018 at 09:17

There are these options in the bios can someone help me?
is there an explanation to understand how it works ??

opethdisciple · 19 Apr 2018 at 09:18

I would be right cheesed off if I bought the 2700x to find that my 8 Pack ram still won't run at 3200MHz with my existing x370 board.

I thought it did with the cpu at stock but it doesn't.

Frooze on me after about 20-30 mins gaming last night.

I've only had it for a week and been using the pc for the last year so it's the new ram.

Faulty? I don't think so. I just think the cpu can't handle it at 3200MHz.

Was considering the Taichi. Seen a few folks moan about bios options being a bit weak. Seen plenty moan about the Asus boards too so, eh, we'll see.

I've got the KFA2 (galax) HOF stuff to try later (well, tomorrow), see how that works out.

i've always opted for asus baords over the years sure there have been problems but like every vendor the problems always seem to get fixed, it just takes time, hopefully it wont be as bad as 1st gen ryzen

Dunno about the last two but the first two let you set various clock speeds for each power state. This allows your chip to downclock to save power even when overclocked (which should just happen anyway, like with Intel's chips). P0 is the highest power state. See this guide for more information.

Aren't these available in store today? Surely someone's making the pilgrimage?
