Ryzen 3 pricing from OCUK
- Thread starter VaderGB
- Start date
Mine is the Wifi version.
DOES NOT MATTER You can flash bioss from normal board to wifi also and will work normally just Wifi module wont work. I tend to flash one without WiFi cause I dont use it
so whatever as long as its C7H.cap it will flash.Also new versions of vioses can use saved bios files. Before One bios version could read only saved settings from same version of bios so after each flash you needed to do all setting from start manually.
The rain forest place lmao I will see how it goes tomorrow, if it doesn't I will look for a solution. I don't think that is the right way to go about it but I also know its one way to solve it.

But what about the aftersales service if you receive a faulty CPU ?
Hang on, does anyone ever receive a faulty CPU ?
AFAIK it's a very rare occurrence.
couple of newbies have done so in the last couple of weeks.
but n=2, so i'm hesitant to draw any conclusions from that.
Depends
At the low end it’s not that bad, there are cheap X470 boards and cheap entry cpus. At the high end yes it’s very expensive but it also offers more performance and we live in a age where more performance equals higher prices.
Given today’s prices and gpu and cpus you may as well not oversized systems anymore. It’s becoming expensive to buy more performance than you actually need.
You could buy an X470 motherboard and a 3700x CPU for less than the price of a 9900k which i think is excellent value.
Also any AMD fanboys will already have a motherboard that can take one of the new processors so double win.
This is why the 9900k was £500..It was the fastest mainstream CPU....All the AMD bods ridiculed it....and now they are defending the Zen 2 price along with 600 quid plus x570 mobos...

~£100-120 B450 mobo with a 3600/3700 series chip is the only part of the Ryzen 3000 release that makes any sense at the moment.
For "normal" users, definitely. The R5 3600 basically replaces the R5 2700X at the same price, yet has the IMC and IPC improvements. It should run perfectly on the higher-end B450s and a total £300 outlay for that kind of performance is fantastic.

It doesn't need a very expensive B450 to run on due to its TDP class. An £80 B450M Mortar would be fine as that can handle a mildly overclocked Ryzen 7 2700.

TBF,it was more expensive before but the price has dropped £20. Some good deals on B450 and X470 motherboards ATM.
Agreed on the MSI motherboards - it shows you that if companies pay attention to using proper heatsinks it works wonders with motherboards!
Good point. I hadn't realised that there were decent boards available at such low prices. OCUK has the MSI B450 Gaming plus (supports BIOS flashback) for just £78. That and a 3600 (if early leaks can be believed) with some decent 3200 ram (£80) would make for a killer cheapish set-up.
