yup looks that way. I got my preorder in about an hour after preorders went live last week, and even I didn't get a dispatch email today. So it looks like theres been a massive shortage of crosshairs from the start.
yep plenty of 1700x but like the
ROG Crosshair VI Hero board the gigabyte gaming 5 looks to be out stock from other pre-orders , well no use in waiting ,
can see it take maybe more than a month for something so new to come in stock
& that's after all the other pre-orders in front of me .

Im going to see if I can find out how long my order will take to dispatch. If its going to take more than a week then I may cancel my preorder, keep my 4790K and just grab a second hand GTX1080
I be doing the same & maybe keep my 4970k & wait for the new GTX 1080 TI 11GB

No dispatch, (Both items in stock) says order pending but money has gone through. If we get dispatch tomorrow will it come Saturday or Monday?
Man of Honour
Monday unless you pay Saturday delivery (Was £8 odd when I upgraded delivery earlier)
not got an email saying anything is on its way. i ordered it last monday as well as soon as preoders came online 
no boards in stock anywhere at all either, but everywhere has all the cpu's 
I even took tomorrow of work as well.

Now that the reviews are out I won't be buying any. Single core and gaming performance is all important to me and sadly it just isn't there yet. Overclocking headroom is pretty poor as well. Maybe the next generation will improve things considerably.
Think there might be a few canceling after reviews if gaming is your priority. Amazing that you have to disable multi threading to get i5 level gaming perfomance. Kinda bummed tbh was poised to buy based on reviews going well today regarding gaming. Has Gibbo or anyone else got info from amd regarding the multi threading issue i.e will be more beneficial to gamers in the future etc?

I'm quite happy with how my i7 3770K performs currently so I won't be buying any Ryzen right now. If I were in the market I would be looking into the 1700, will look properly when I am in the market, hopefully there will be a proper AMD vs Intel in full swing by then (we can hope).
Ryzen is more than enough for any kind of gaming. So if benchmarking is your priority, then wasting money on Intel sounds like a good idea.

The poll results of this thread show 1700 as the least popular choice. Are you lot nuts?
