The G Skill Trident Z 3200mhz CL14 looks awesome might order it now ready for my build

I have the 3600 CL16 version, but also works at 3200 CL14 if the Asus Hero doesn't support that high speeds

And won't going to lose any perf

Having a look back, it was July 2006 that the E6600 was released, so that was definitely the last time I had AMD.

Same here, the last amd cpu was the 4800+

I'm looking to build a HTPC/console killer rig with Ryzen. I don't need one so the wait hasnt been too bad (although I think I've read itx boards are delayed?), looking forward to spending an unnescesary amount of time and effort into parts picking

Mine was a AMD Athlon 64 3200+ Socket 939 back in Jan 06.

How long ago did you get yours?

Some benchies over at hexus.net from a chinese site, 1700x one, looked decent enough

Yeah, I'm a bit disappointed by the lack of ITX from the get go. The whole AM4 socket/mounting not being backwards compatible has also thrown a spanner in to the mix.

My initial build plan has already become an expensive stop gap system. But the money must be spent.

Case, Cooler and ram are already on the way.

This was the first intel chip i had in a long time. My dad had bought an FX55 not long before i got my e6600 which was pretty much half the price. The 6600 out performed it in pretty much everything IIRC. Incredible chip

I was planning to upgrade my PC this year. Currently running an i5 2500K, had it since launch.

My intention was too hold out until the first 10nm CPU's launched, but, if Ryzen is decent and the motherboards are good, then I might consider going with a new build now using Ryzen, possibly the 1700x.

September 26th bought 2 packs of G.SKILL Ripjaws V Series F4-3600C16D-16GVK 16 GB (8 GB x 2) for less than £125 each.
One is still sealed and the other used with my 6700K since then. Bought 2 because though was a good offer. Now they are almost 30% more expensive.

I am still runing A Phenom II x4 955 which did the job well in the past 6 years. For all the elitist out there, this CPU still manage to run all the games above 60fps (with rx480) even QHD so newer seen the need buy an expensive alternative. But now to honor AMD I decided to buy their top of the range CPU, believe in that, than this new Ryzen CPU going to be as good and stable as the old Phenom.

siriq111 · 22 Feb 2017 at 13:17

I wanna see the real performance of the CPU first, then think about.
Someone already got the mounting kit to AM4

I would but I can't be bothered to change platforms unless Ryzen absolutely leaves my 4790k in the dust and I'm not sure the difference will be that big. Too much hassle.

jigger · 25 Feb 2017 at 15:45

I will buy Ryzen!

CEUOTC · 25 Feb 2017 at 17:03

Last AMD for me was a 5800K, last full CPU was a 1090T + HD 5850. So very much looking forward to runnng another AMD CPU proper.

Adam_101 · 25 Feb 2017 at 21:11

Definitely considering it, will check out the user reviews once they're out and go from there. My last AMD was 4400+ 939, before that was K6-2 333 (miss that bad boy haha). Should be v interesting!

Josu · 25 Feb 2017 at 21:17

My building is cancelled.
I dont wanna buy cooler, i dont know why boxed versions comes without cooler

rolypolyman · 25 Feb 2017 at 23:37

Well once the dust has settled and the reviews finally show Ryzen is the deal I will be considering the 1600X (I wont spend over £300, no £260 on a cpu) and a board around £90-£120. Luckily I bought Dark T-Force 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 PC4-24000C16 3000MHz Dual Channel Kit - Grey back on the 4th Feb for £82.99. I have the money aside so just being patient and waiting for reviews for cpu/boards. My ssd's/HDD's and 980Ti will all do fine along with a new installation of Win 10 Pro. If Ryzen forces Intel to drop their ridiculously priced higher end cpu's then I might have a look at them. (not likely) Looking forward to the next couple of months, if Ryzen flops then my i5 4690K will do me for a while longer.

JasonM · 26 Feb 2017 at 07:41

I'm thinking of buying Ryzen, just waiting for dust to settle first. This is not an upgrade however, just I need more processing for something.

mearle73 · 26 Feb 2017 at 07:59

I'm building one full water cooled, get just as much fun out of this as I did all those years ago when I done my first 32bit build ( 80386DX) 286 upgrade.
