Holy shit.

Here in Croatia an student from Zadar engineered this kind of bench :
 
Apple will steal it 100%.

I wouldn't pre order until some benchmarks fly in to show how it is aginst GTX 1070 

Let's just stop arguing about god fucking chips and wait until AMD and Intel kick out those CPU's.

Very very promising CPU with hot price. Looking foward enthusiast war. Intel you impressed me this time. Gj, you've didnt impress me since Skylake reveal.

INTEL WHAT HAVE YOU DONE ?!

Just watched video. I'll consider picking up one when I am on move for gaming.

RX 470 can be the best option, it is not intense as NVidia cards so your CPU can handle it.
 
Also if you are going for RX 480 instead of RX 470 that means you are using it for VR (RX 480 is 470+VR basically in my mind)

so this is probably not the place for this but honestly i wanted to post these links as i know some of us here play games on steam. I just want everyone to be aware of scdkey.com
 
they are crooks!

sorry if i wasnt suppose to post this here but its just so shady and they refuse to help and tell me its my fault but they're honestly stupid.

Get a 1600 instead and just use the stock cooler. You can use the $80 or so money saved to but towards 2x8gb ram instead.
 
Other than that, not much to say. Do note I think Gigabyte is prepping a b350 mini itx am4 board as well, so you could look out for that.

You need to use Intel Extreme Tuning Utility.

Keep in mind that the utility is very limited.

Oh god. intel what u gonna do

They're gonna pull a 34c/68t CPU out of their asses, duh.

It is must have in todays world computing.

Likely windows update is being screwy .

Build it on PCPartPicker and it will tell you any compatibility issues. Though most likely, you just need to update your BIOS.

Don't complain. I have J5 2016 with duo sim.

Ryzen 1600 boi

Yes, no problems there. 

Credit to @Starelementpokeand @Energycore for helping out with this long-awaited refresh of the old PSU tier list by Aniallation (who previously went several months without logging in), leaving the old list in need of help. This is simply an update of the list that was flawed in creation by the PCMR subreddit and in dire need of a refresh.
 
This list is subject to change as new PSUs come out on a regular basis and standards may change or issues with units on the list may develop. A list of PSUs awaiting a tier on this list is at the bottom.

How do you even grade these things? ***
But I don't like Tier Lists!!!!111!!!!
 

In terms of a swift rating on this board I give it:
 
Construction
8/10
 
Lighting 
7/10
 
Software
-infinity/10
 
 
 
Installation
All in all this mobo has been pretty hassle free in terms of installation aside from the fact that the mounting holes on the far right don't match up with those in the inwin 301.  I am running it without those stand-offs to avoid any damage to the board.
 
Lighting
I. Despise. Red. LEDs.  I'm putting up with the red front IO illumination of the 301 until I can get some RGB up there but the top right led on the mobo (racing logo) LIGHTS UP RED!  In all advertising by Biostar its RGB but in every consumer video I've seen its red...  Severely disappointed, I'll be getting out some electrical tape.  When I attempted to contact Biostar directly I got no response.  Will update as time goes on.
 
The LEDs that actually work work well, a nice little accent to the stock cooler (rgb yee) and I'm kind of surprised by how nice lit up PCIE covers look.
 
 
Software
Awful in every way imaginable aside from, of course, the rgb control software.  The LED controller is actually pretty solid with some nice effects and its easy to use.  Quite literally everything else is opaque and a pain in the ass to maneuver around from the fan controller doing basically nothing to the simple way to OC (changing the multiplier) being locked but P-state isn't.  The interface is also poorly thought out and very dated looking.
 
OC capability
Currently running burntest of P95 on my 1700 using all cores on the hottest setting, 3.6Ghz stable on the stock voltage.  About an hour so far and no issues here.  3.725 was a bit too much on stock voltages however and when I have better cooling I'll update with higher voltages/OC
 
Pros:
Dual bios Surprisingly good manual Already has AGESA (6/15/2017) Good RAM support (untested as of right now) Subdued PCB color RGB LEDs and lots of RGB header Decent VRMs/heatsink for mATX ryzen (4+3) 2 PWM fan headers on top of PWM CPU header  
Cons:
Software is the biggest dumpster fire you will ever find.  EVERYTHING is difficult CPU multiplier is locked, OC is based on P-state (still works but... meh) No wifi/bluetooth IO plate is kind of shite IO is mediocre Top right LED never turns off and is red, despite advertising as RGB (software maybe?)  

(for that money he could have a got a full i5 with a massive 4 threads instead of the 12 that amd build has)

Yeah, so far I've always gotten gigabyte (convienence more than anything) and the BIOs they have are 10 000 000 000 times better

Taichi has to be my favorite motherboard in a very long time. Match it with White GPU, white case, white sleeved cables for modular psu, black/white ssds and hdds and black AIO cooler and you got stylish build.
