I've found the AMD mounting bracket for my Fractal Kelvin S36. That conveniently frees up £100 for the 1800X, assuming the Crosshair does indeed work with AM3+ mounts..

It has two sets of holes in the mobo, that's one of the reasons I went for the Crosshair as getting a cooler with the bracket will be a pain.
 
Hoping the 1700 will be good but waiting for reviews and want to know what the 'x' gives you if they all have XFR as suggested. Maybe the 1700x & 1800x has access to the per core overclocking that has been leaked?

Did u guys ever try per core oc on Intel platform?? Very rarely does one core even do one multi higher so I would not depend on this feature assisting overall performance.

Given 8Pack must have had a play with Ryzen this might be a feature for future refreshes? As good as it sounds this first version of Ryzen will likely improve a fair bit over the next 4 years.

What's the possibility of higher clock speeds if hyperthreading was disabled due to less heat and voltage, I'm thinking gaming on 8 physical cores at higher clock speed would be much better than 4c/4t, I worked on my old i7 920 but you da man to ask
 
I think for me I can see the value in the 1700 if it is just clock speed difference and assuming you can overclock the 1700 to with 2-300MHz of the 1700x or 1800x, but I am wondering if the 'x' will give you anything extra as Gibbo said that the 1700 has XFR. Looking forward to reviews to make it all clear and give me a better idea of processor and motherboard that is best value.
 
So pulled the trigger on the following now my CC reset :D

My basket at Overclockers UK:

Total: £915.96
(includes shipping: £0.00)



​

Interested to see what the results will be once the NDA's lifted, Either way I don't think ill be overclocking too much so regardless of the 1700 to 1800x potentially being the same or the 1800x being a better binned process means little to me.

Currently running a Intel i7 2700k @ 4.2, GTX 1080...
I have 32GB of DDR 2400Mhz Memory already and some other bits, Figure this will keep me happy for a few years ;)

Glad to see that AMD are pushing back, been too long that Intel has free raign over their pricing... Hopefully see a flurry of cheaper processors in the near furture.

Just thought YOLO. I don't plan to upgrade for a long time and I've been really strict with my self in the last year or two to not upgrade random stuff so thought "Treat Yo self". I went with the Hero over the K7 for a couple of reason. I really like Giga boards but the last 3 have had very laggy bios which has made tweaks annoying, setting up adaptive voltage was super complex for me compared to Asus and the m.2 drive slot on the K7/K5 is under the GPU which seems like a little bit of an oversight RE heat. I think the sensible money is still probably the 1700 but for the sake of 70£ over the next couple of years or so I thought what the hell. The board will see a CPU upgrade or two so I thought may as well go for the top tier.
