I'm selling my old mobo and getting an AsRock X470 Taichi, as the Gigabyte mobo only has 4 phases VRMs only so the 2700X is just too much for it

I'm selling my old mobo and getting an AsRock X470 Taichi, as the Gigabyte mobo only has 4 phases VRMs only so the 2700X is just too much for it

If you send me your Titan Vs I can investigate this for you. I'll keep them as payment though.

thats depressing I didnt want to buy a new mobo

Consoles are team red too lol

Are we honestly surprised? Really?
 
+1 reason to get Ryzen. Platform longevity is pretty much confirmed for AM4 to be at least up to 2020. No need to fork over $100s to get a new motherboard for your new CPU. Just get the CPU and BIOS update, update BIOS, drop in CPU and boom, done.

What new hardware?  3dxpoint DRAM? Pfft.  To heck with Covfefe lake.

So according to ASRock, Coffee Lake CPUs won't be backwards compatible with Z270/Z170 motherboards despite using the same LGA 1151 socket which is what many people have hoped for (Including me, running a Z170 Extreme4 mobo).
 
 

 
This was posted by forbes and they provided the above screenshot as proof, which makes it pretty much confirmed news.
 
It pains me to see this as I hoped for the possibility of using those 6-cores in older boards including my own Z170 one. There is no word on Z170 to be precise but one can logically assume they're not going to be supported as well.
It's probably either due to some architectural changes in Coffee Lake over Skylake & Kaby Lake or it's just Intel being assholes again and creating artificial limitations so people buy more CPUs
 
Thoughts?
 
UPDATE:
TechPowerUp just posted pictures of Intel's Coffee Lake i7 and i5 CPUs and they look like this:


Note what is written on the side of the boxes: "Requires Intel 300 Series chipset-based motherboards". I think that confirms it for people who didn't take ASRock's tweet as solid proof.

3. This is a worldwide giveaway with no age restrictions. Shipping costs will be covered by the shipper, but any duties/taxes/other fees upon delivery will be the sole responsibility of the winner.
 
 
Alright, now that we've got that out of the way, OMG THIS IS AWESOME HOW DO I WIN ONE???:
 
1. Comment below letting us know which Razer laptop you would prefer to win. Feel free to make it fun - what would you use it for? Why do you prefer the Blade or the Blade Stealth?

GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE ENTERING, AND THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR SUPPORT ON THIS CRAZY JOURNEY
 
 
EDIT:
 
Alright, we have selected our winners!!!
 
@Plavi and @willp3, you have 72 hours to respond to the DMs I am sending you right now. If we do not receive a reply in that time, new winners will be chosen! Since both said that the Blade would be their choice, it's on a "first replied first served" basis. (for clarity - what this means is that the first winner to reply will get their choice between the two laptops, and the second winner to reply will get the laptop that the first winner did not choose. This does not mean that we're only giving away one laptop...)
 
Thanks everyone.
 
 
EDIT2:
 
Alright, so @Plavi has officially claimed the New Blade! Congrats on winning

But, unfortunately for @willp3, he did not respond in time to claim his prize...

Our new Blade Stealth winner is @ted542! Check your inbox, you have 72 hours to reply
 
 
EDIT3:
 
Both laptops have now been claimed. Thanks for participating in this awesome giveaway, and please be sure to keep an eye out for giveaways in the future!
 
 
Please don't report posts in this topic - all duplicates will be handled before drawing, so if you have double posted, don't worry about it.
