need taobao deep search engine heh

Yeah but the shipping time is a test for those. And it's true China have better value and cheaper rate into selling PC's. In Malaysia, you can still build cheap rigs as many Facebook pages are promoting it.

AMD Ryzen Hype / promotional/ marketing aside.

Issues still plague AMD with these new cpus.

So, they are targeting the Enthusiast / high-end segment/market with Ryzen 7.
But there's no REAL high-end / cool motherboards to match with these new "high-end cpus" unlike intel e.g Asus Rampage V edition 10 / Maximus 9 Formula / Aorus Gaming 9.

if i am the "Enthusiast", i will think twice on the 1800x/1700x as the mobo is also part of the package/decision. "Flagship" Asus board : Crosshair VI Hero. (that's only a mid- range mobo)

Also, the first AMD Ryzen rig powered up last night.

Ryzen 7 1800X is awesome!

i agree high end AMD Ryzen 7 1800x only cost about 2599 RM compare to Intel Core I7 6700k which about 4k

what about the MSI X370 XPOWER GAMING TITANIUM AMD Ryzen AM4 ATX Motherboard and the ASRock X370 Professional Gaming, AMD X370, S AM4, DDR4, SATA3, M.2, 2-Way SLi/CrossFire, 5GbE/WiFi, USB 3.1, ATX?

seems like this 1800X is quite a hot proc idling at 70C
What temp does intel proc with the same performance idle at?

I found out that the board reads the CPU temp different from software.

They're very far apart. So yeah, now I'm checking with AMD on what's the temperature thing like.

Until then, I can't say which one is correct. It could be the MSI BIOS reading wrongly.

you are lucky you gotten the most expensive board

guess next firmware or windows software update

The flaw or your thought is you're trying to apply the "Intel" side of the camp logic to AMD. You can't expect them to emulate Intel exactly, that would defeat the entire purpose of AMD's purpose.

The ZEN range CPU are fresh start build from scratch, providing awesome price to performance ratio and those board are already the flagship models.

I'll cite you from my personal setup.

I have an Intel Core i7-5960X with ASRock X99 OC Formula and that i7-5960X had to be OCed from 3Ghz to 4.3Ghz just to have a slight edge over the 1800X based on the numbers you see on slides / videos.

At this point of time, that i7 is priced $1,134.99 on Newegg. Around RM 5k if Malaysia price.
Compare that to the $499 Ryzen 7 1800X which is around RM 2.6k Malaysia price, HALF.

You can go with the cheaper boards (half the price of the top models) and still get same performance, minus the XFR boost.

And you also have to think - what's those high-end board on the Intel side for? Mainly for Overclocking.

Ryzen is not about Overclocking, it's about performance out of the box. It can be overclocked but it's not a great overclocker.
