TweakTown are an absolute joke. While they don't take credit for the leak, anything they post immediately makes me doubt the words even if it's not their own.

But if it's true and Volta is coming this year... wow. As an AMD owner I'd be annoyed. As an Nvidia owner I'd be annoyed. I'm no analyst or businessman, but I don't think it's the smart thing to do. Pascal is still perfectly fine. If it's not selling well (which it is), it's because the power is not necessary or because the prices are too high. I don't see how Volta is going to fix this.

Damn, I thought I overpaid for the stuff I just bought for my new Ryzen rig ($300CDN + gubmint sodomy). Another 12-15% and I probably would have dropped to cheaper memory!

Amazon Discounting Ryzen 1800X

According to PC World Amazon is offering 30 Bucks off AMD list price of $499. The offer is subject to be rescinded without notice.

Looks like the word is out that everyone is jumping on the Ryzen 1700 Bandwagon and Amazon doesn't want to get stuck holding the bag. Better to lose a little money now rather that hold useless inventory that nobody wants.

This doesn't bode well for the 1700X either.

Very interesting, I'll need to look further into this and see if UK/EU prices have changed recently.

Thanks for the info, I wonder if the R7 1700X is reduced?

DLL patch out that unlocks updates for Ryzen and Kaby on Win7/8.1

WYP · Apr 19, 2017

Quick update,

Looking a little deeper into the Ryzen 7 pricing situation we have found that AMD's whole Ryzen 7 range is now coming in at reduced prices here in the UK.

Thanks Radioman for bringing this to my attention.

I can confirm it is not in the US(price deductions are retailer specific as far as I can tell)
I suspect this is happening in the UK due to exchange rates and demand has fallen slightly.

Some pretty nifty hard tube LED rings from Alphacool just showcased -

AlienALX · Apr 24, 2017

And just think, you won't be fitting any because you pulled a woofter and ran away

I don't wish to post the video here but if WYP wants to do some digging it is Rumored that Nvidia have advanced the release date for Volta to Q3 this year for mainstream users

I'll have a look into it, thanks for the tip.

ThermalTake already had fittings with RGB LED rings like this. Someone ripped off TT. Oh the irony.
