I've already started putting together an AM4 system to upgrade from my old ivy bridge i5. Only thing missing is mobo and cpu. I want pricing damnit. How much is the base 8c/16t gonna cost and how much is an enthusiast X370 board gonna cost? Even B350 since I don't need or want Crossfire/SLI again. 4 times is enough for me.

I want pricingggggggg. Also performance numbers of Ryzen of course, but MSRP is more realistic to find at this point with release being like, a month away.

i believe the boards will be around the price of z270 for the x370 chipset, the cpus we will have to wait, but they probably will not be much cheaper than Intel counterparts because the last thing amd needs is a price war with Intel

[Doobeedoo]

Nice, that new Crosshair X370 mobo looks pretty good like the monochromatic look

[Citadelen]

That Crosshair VI: Hero has my name all over it, ugh I want it now.

[NumLock21]

amd is going forward while intel is going backwards. Anyone noticed the intel z270 boards only have 6 sata and amd has 8.

[Koscum]

I just hope they end up adding X370 to TUF series as well.

Oh hell yes. Dual Crossfire setup on like dual Vega GPUs. 

 

But yeah, mATX is where it's at for my next build. Although the B350 chipset still allows overclocking, so people who don't want a bazillion USB3 ports can get that (like me).

IMO the amount of exterior size you win isnt worth the amount of interior size you lose in terms of mATX. for every mATX case you see out there, it's quite literally an inch and a half away from being able to fit a full size ATX board.

Depends on the case you take.

you're way beside the point i'm trying to make.

 

take *any* micro atx case, add an inch and a half, and you have an ATX case.

[Kinda Bottlenecked]

Hmm vrm on this looks more beefy than the intel hero board. I expect the crosshair hero to be priced higher.

if you mean that in comparison to the intel board, depending on how much AMD's chipset cost may be, it could even be cheaper.

Doubled-up 5 phase probably. Or actually, that's really the only way you can have them. And they didn't say 10 phases for everything, so I can assume it's a 10+2 phase or something like that.

I'm assuming the are counting the phases for the memory as well.

Basically, the typical 8+2 VRM system.

 

 

Hugh...should I have waited for 'Zen' instead of jumping ship to 'Broadwell-E'....or be those people who switch platforms after every few months...

 

Well the memory vrm is sepperate basicly.

Its most likely 4 phases doubled to 8 for main v core,

on those particular boards.

Doesn't matter, I still love my NZXT Vulcan.

 

I might do an ATX conversion on it though...

i didnt say all mATX cases are terrible, i just feel like the formfactor isnt a very good option.

 

the fact you can even consider an ATX conversion on an matx case kinda proves my view

(although i have to say, that thing looks pretty darn compact)

Exactly why I upscaled to ATX for my main rig and put my Vulcan on secondary/tertiary rig duty.

The only (meaningful) difference between X370 and B350 is crossfire... Mini-ITX has 1 PCIe slot...

And overclocking. X300 is the chipset for ITX, and I can't wait for it. x300 strix please.
