As for the VRM design - a good 4 or 6 phase design is more than enough for air/AIO water cooling.

Unfortunately, for deliveries, us poor saps as the social side of things don't really get up-to-date info, last thing we were told was that stock would hit UK shelves this week.

So you don't have any information at all and can't query internally?

At this point I'm starting to think there's a guy from China with a canoe full of Asrock.

Well they weren't totally lying, my x370 Professional Gaming and 1700 shipped yesterday and is arriving today, still not in stock on the website so it must have been a small batch!

We've called the guy on the canoe to check when he expects to arrive. Last we heard of him, he was on the Red Sea, close to the Suez Canal.

Glad to hear you got yours! Plenty of demand, and limited quantities has been the name of the game, and not just for us at ASRock either. Awaiting more info on future shipments.

Would it have killed Asrock to air freight a few shipments?

Techen · 13 Mar 2017 at 09:12

Ohgezz there on a ship? I very much doubt they'll be in this week then too. Starting to eye up the asus @.@

The boards that have come and gone so far are air shipped. The canoe thing was a joke.

Oh dear.

Will you likely get an update today on how far the guy got over the weekend? At this point I'm getting itchy feet.

Spoke to Scam and they're suggesting end of March as their ETA for the Asrock boards.... WTF is going on with stock. At this point I'm contemplating a low end B350 board that I'll sell later on just to get a working machine!

daman2k · 13 Mar 2017 at 15:32

I got a B350 gaming 3 from overclockers this morning, I'm not waiting all day with these manufactures as it doesn't seem to be a priority for any of them. From what I read they can all do 4ghz anyways so ill just keep the extra cash in my pocket if so.

I'm sure it's a priority, I just think they're subject to AMD's bad planning. They ALL want to take advantage of this demand, any manufacturer that can saturate the market quickly will profit nicely.

I've cancelled my Asrock order, I was going for a B350, but I figured as AM4 has a long life I'd invest in a good board to avoid needing a change in future, ended up ordering an Asus from Germany.

I bailed and got the last of 7 msi boards. Goodluck with the waiting lads

AsrockMB · 13 Mar 2017 at 17:18

End of March is the same info we were just given too - more preorders than boards. Sorry about this.

I guess time to look at other manufacturers

Sometimes if you want the best you have to wait for it

Hi AsrockMB, I'm interested in the Asrock X370 Taichi AMD Motherboard and would like to overclock the Ryzen 1700.
Could you please tell me what settings I have to change in the BIOS
From what Ive read 3.8 or 3.9ghz is pretty good.

Thanks in advance.

Well the end of PC gaming for me until May then. I will sell the two GPUs and start fresh then.

That's a shame but I can wait. I pre-ordered right on the launch date so hopefully I'll get one of the earlier pre-order deliveries.
