Poll: Ryzen 7: Are you gonna buy?
- Thread starter Gibbo
- Start date
I'm waiting for reviews and benches between the 1600x, 1700x and 1800x. I'm hoping the 1700x clocks just as well as the 1800x and it's literally 200mhz boost extra only by default with no other differences.

When will the NDA be lifted?
Am going with 1800x with Asrock X370 Fatal1ty Pro Gaming. Looks a amazing board with dual M.2 for Raid.
The coffin shaped VRM heat sinks are an interesting choice

I am thinking with my budget being £200-250 a 6 core Ryzen i think if i was ever to buy.
Probably not, but still. Also, have you considered that you are crazy for not believing me? The truth is stranger than fiction. For example, aliens are most probably real:
The dirty secret of the motherboard is that it isn't really doing much that's interesting. Make it look like alien spacecraft technology, though, and it suddenly seems *very* interesting!

It's looking very likely I will. Will be ready to buy when I finish uni at the end of May - hopefully all the dust (and prices) will have settled a little by then.

I don't really need anything faster than what I have now, So when the time comes to upgrade again in a few years i'll see what's available. Right now I'm happy with what I have .

Same here i don't really need a new pc i mean a 2500k has plenty of power to play games.
But i like to have a pc capable of plenty of power.
Another user of an ancient pc here(i7 920) The current pc,gpu pricing is just hilarious. I am waiting for an excuse to get an entire new system ,mine does the job well enough but it is showing its age,so yes I may well take the plunge as long as the price gouging is not to obvious.

Thought someone said the "NSA"? WHat you're saying i's very unlikely, just like I'm not preparing for the Earth to be invaded by aliens anytime soon. As I get up to nothing suspicious, even if a government agency wanted to look they can. But you or I are nothing special - nobody cares what we're up to unless they have a reason to have a closer look.
Slightly off topic but the fella's who have helped embed paranoia into people are criminals.
If we fear a criminal getting their hands on our computers because of something the NSA has had put there, we should probably be fearing much more -such as terrorists getting information on creating bioweapons or being able to trigger nuclear missiles remotely.
I work on IT and looking at data gathering at the moment. No doubt no matter what we tell customers some will probably vow never to trust us again even though it'll be impossible to link data back to an individual. We're interested in trends, behaviours, not the individual. Imagine for example we had the ability to know what time you switched on your PC. OUr database would show a date/time stamp and the action (on or off) - nothing else. BUt some will get ultra paranoid I'm sure. We're not working on this, just an example.
