Posted March 19, 2018 Hi everyone, I was just wondering if there is ever going to be B and H-series motherboards for coffee lake? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted March 19, 2018 The B and H chipsets will come, don't know why it's taking so long though. At the moment, it's kind of made the 8th gen i3s completely pointless as the motherboards are all more expensive than them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I was just thinking that the lack of B and H series makes the i5-8400 kinda pointless even though it's an incredible CPU since you have to get a Z370 mobo right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! it should be on the release of Zen+ (mid april maybe) why it took so loonngg "Make it future proof for some years at least, don't buy "only slightly better" stuff that gets outdated 1 year, that's throwing money away" @pipoawas -Frequencies DON'T represent everything and in many cases that is true (referring to Individual CPU Clocks). Mention me if you want to summon me sooner or later Spoiler My head on 2019 : Note 10, S10, Samsung becomes Apple, Zen 2, 3700X, Renegade X lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's because Coffee Lake was supposed to launch this year originally, but AMD released Ryzen and Intel was forced to release Coffee Lake early to stay competitive.

There's also some conspiracy that because of the really low base clocks on the i5 8400, that it will perform worse on the other chipsets due to weaker VRMs and the like, but it's doubtful that will matter. I edit my posts a lot, Twitter is @LordStreetguru just don't ask PC questions there mostly... Spoiler What is your budget/country for your new PC? what monitor resolution/refresh rate? What games or other software do you need to run? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted March 19, 2018 Some people might say that Intel had to rush out the whole 8th series in response to Ryzen taking a big chunk of their market share .... hence why H/B series boards aren't ready Ryzen Ram Guide My Project Logs Iced Blood Temporal Snow Temporal Snow Ryzen Refresh CPU - Ryzen 1700 @ 4Ghz Motherboard - Gigabyte AX370 Aorus Gaming 5 Ram - 16Gb GSkill Trident Z RGB 3200 GPU - Palit 1080GTX Gamerock Premium Storage - Samsung XP941 256GB, Crucial MX300 525GB, Seagate Barracuda 1TB PSU - Fractal Design Newton R3 1000W Case - INWIN 303 White Display - Asus PG278Q Gsync 144hz 1440P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
