Gotcha.
Intel NIC's are hands down the best I've used. The only problem is usually price.

I found the same , likely due to Intel having very mature tech and drivers etc.

Its a real killer unfortunately - I'm going 10Gb+ at home this year hopefully, currently the best option seems to be second hand Mellanox 10 Gb cards for £30ish a go - not RJ45 though :/
Luckily I only have 2 systems that need more than 1Gb at the mo so I can skip the expense of a switch for the time being.
The HBA route is trickey, but yeah it can work and is smart way to setup on a budget. Just be ultra careful if you use FC for the cabling.

It looks like someone now got his hands on a Ryzen 2600 
He needs to fix his timings though since it's making things run slower.
So far he has it stable at 4Ghz 1.3v with 3333Mhz ram on a Asrock X370 Taichi board.

I'm planning to pick up an ASUS X470 to replace my Gigabyte X370, will be hard to resist replacing the 1700X with a 2700X at the same time XD

Not sure there is any real benefit to me upgrading a CH6 for X470, definitely interested in a 2700X though.

Why? Ryzen 1 launch prices were bang on US prices (once you add VAT). The pound is much stronger than it was this time last year, so I think the following is more accurate, unless there is an initial shortage of parts:
2700X £289
2700 £259
2600X £199
2600 £169
i.e. rounding up from US prices (except R5 2600 since it's so close). If these aren't launch prices I think they will almost definitely be the "stable price" after a couple of weeks.

You can pick up 8700K's for £299 I can't see AMD pricing the 2700X higher than a 8700K... I think these are going to come in very close to the 1600/1600X/1700/1700X price range with a slight markup and directly replace them.

What was the retail on a high end board at launch? £170ish?
Probably going with the Taichi, MAYBE the ultimate, I might just sack it off as un-needed.
10GbE - eh, I got Intel dual port cards + onboard between the only 2 machines I care about network bandwidth on. It'll do.
Power button. I got a screwdriver.
Colour - ahhh, ok, yeah, that's basically sold it then

Taichi was £225 ish at launch, dropped down to £180 ish now.

I'd be extremely happy if chips are that cheap.
Soldato
Hopefully there was a bit of "it's our flagship" tax involved there and the ultimate picks up the "opulent" pricing
Already have ram, thinking around £500 for chip+board so will see how that shakes out.
If you're taking out the CPU anyways....
Soldato
yeah, why bother putting the same one back? It's for your benefit long (sales/market share) and short (performance) term
Nope his prices are pretty spot on.
Just done a big Ryzen price drop today making OcUK the cheapest with 1800X at £269, 1700X at £239, 1600X at £155 and 1600 at £139 so the older gen 1 Ryzen fall in line nicely with the gen 2 Ryzen as both will run along side each other for some months.
