That's pretty cool, If there really is no performance differences between the boards going forward after Ryzen 2, I'll end up sticking with my C6H until DDR5 comes out and just drop in each yearly release.

Yeah me too. My Strix is the 2nd beefiest board available for AM4 second only to your Crosshair. I bought it just for that reason, so I could upgrade to Ryzen 2 with simply a BIOS update.

So far these Ryzen chips don't seem to be needing a whole lot of over the top voltage so over built boards like the Strix should last for a good long while.

Newer features may see one upgrading the board though. But cool AMD
