Oh wow, that's something some men would pay good money for :lol: I'll just try not to have nightmares.haha you better sleep with one eye open ! I bet Lisa is just waiting for you to doze off before she comes and shoves a heap of LEDs up your arse![]()
Pretty sure the mATX are the x300 boards, and boards have been stating 3000-3600 ram, im waiting for the reviews of the boards from tom, cos if anyone knows what the best ram for the boards will be, its tom.
I thought the X300 was for the mITX boards. Never mind, I've ordered an ATX board and a new case.
IM READY FOR RYZEN
I'm not sure if that helped :lol:
There's not really an explanation for why it's such a large difference in TDP, just a suggestion that the 1700 might not overclock as well as the "X" variant which puts the kaibosh on buying the cheaper one and manually clocking it to match the higher tier part.
Come on man don't be cruel, what did you get?![]()
It runs 4-500mhz faster because it boosts itself depending on your cooling. When you have 8 cores with 16 threads every time you go up 100mhz the power demands rise also. 4-500mhz is an awful lot over 8c 16t man.
Now obviously the X versions are totally not worth buying if you know your way around a bios. However, a guy I know posted this earlier.
You realise 99.9999999% of all computer users and gamers don't overclock right? For most people outright clock for clock performance doesn't matter, they can get higher performance at $500 from a 1800X than from a 6900k at $1000, that is what most people care about, the clock speed is fairly irrelevant, though how you can say the clock speeds are mysterious when they are directly reported... I honestly don't know. A 6900k doesn't advertise an all core boost, because it's impossible to advertise as it changes from one application and load to the next.
Also unless you're benchmarking in a war zone... most benchmarking is done in a controlled environment. Controlled and untrustworthy usually means, reviews can't touch it, can't check the settings and don't know the hardware. AMD had the Intel computers on view, you could see the hardware, Linus(and others) all checked task manager/system info to compare and confirm and AMD went out of their way to use ROG boards and high quality memory in the Intel systems... which they didn't have to do.
TBH he is bang on the money. I don't even bother overclocking any more as it's not worth the aggro, time and heat (and of course more money out the window in power) but I just don't see any real time gains from it. And I am risking my hardware and these days? you can get replacement parts for CPUs for about five minutes after the fact. Then they all disappear, some clever finds out you can run a Xeon in that board and all of a sudden they cost two million pounds.
AMD are charging you for the overclock. And the stated TDP with those overclocks.
That's it. Everything else about Ryzen is the same. If you know how to type a higher number in a multi box in bios? buy the 1700. It may not be binned as well nor clock as high as the 1800x but everything about it is the same. It's the enthusiast chip, basically. The others are just for willy wavers and those who have to say they have the best.
But as we know, the best is usually not the most expensive. Sure, they may perform better but that doesn't make them better value, does it? Just like the guys buying 5960x at launch for a grand and those buying 6950x right now. None of them could stand up and say they were actually good value.
I'm not sure if that helped :lol:

I've ordered a Corsair 400C Clear and an MSI X370 Gaming Pro Carbon. Best one for my budget and I absolutely love the look of it
Its going to be hard parting with my Node 804, love that case![]()
OMG that mobo is so good looking! i want it when i buy ryzen after launch.

It is. It was my second choice after the Crosshair. My favorite feautre of the board was the dual M.2. Awesome!
Only feature I wish the new boards had were dual LAN ports
But i am never going for Xfire. So honestly to me, B350 chipset will probably be it for me. I don't need an ATX board for one GPU. I'm waiting for more matx and itx boards before buying. If I buy..(i really want to but priorities and all)

For the first time ever, I actually really like the look of an MSI product
Anyone knows when ITX motherboards will be released?...
The price to performance of these is going to be amazing and the Aussie prices are reasonable too

What I found genuinely annoying is the mATX lineup (or lack of). Not a single X370 mATX board up for pre order and the B350 range isn't that great either. Also with the RAM speeds the motherboards say they support, 3200 isn't supported which is my RAM kit out the window immediately
