So far i've heard only Asus Crosshair AM4 motherboard are the only motherboard that support old AM3 coolers.
Any other motherboard that does the same that you know?
Crosshair mobo are too expensive for me though
Im still using old trusty Tuniq Tower and sad that theres no AM4 bracket for it

Yup.. But probably end of this year or early next year we can see on laptop.

Even newer Intel also supporting only Windows 10.

But it doesnt matter as i see on motherboard website, there are still windows 7 drivers though..

It is Microsoft to be blame anyway

I think it will, but maybe in the future with BIOS updates. But no use getting 4 sticks as Ryzen only support dual channel(like skylake) and not quad channel like Amd Naples and Intel socket 2011?

You mean CPU is already here but no mobo at digital mall? I think so far only ASRock mobo available. The rest gotta wait maybe next week or 2 weeks later

It is already well known that if you are just purely gaming, you can go for kaby lake. But when the 4 core parts of ryzen released, it will be cheaper than kaby Lake and the performance may not too far from it and we might have to reconsider(depending on the performance)

Ryzen R7 was supposed to be fight with the 8 core counterparts which is i7 6900x

Good to hear that It can be disabled. But again, even if the 4c ryzen perform 90% of kaby lake at half the price, who wouldn't want? Because not all can afford that R7

Maybe.. But then again most consumer don't overclock.. Only certain does.
Anyway.. Anyone know when Ryzen stock is arriving here? Did any shops at lowyat or Malaysia now have ready stock for Ryzen?

The power consumption is better than Intel 8 core parts and even 7700k in certain case which is great. But from the graph can be seen once overclocked, the power consumption shoots

Agreed. Hopefully those small issue will be fixed before R5 is released. I'm expecting the update to come with Windows 10 Creator Updates that is schedule to come on April too.

Although ryzen 5 and 3 may come later, I don't believe it will match kaby lake in terms of performance though. Maybe 10% slower.. But the price will be the determining factor whether ryzen 5/3 is better than core i5/i3 parts.

Try check on lelong.. Some of them selling it..

Decent Gigabyte/Asus/asrock/msi b350 is overclock able.. Ranging from rm400-600

If you plan to overclock, might as well just get the 1700. Much cheaper and overclocks about the same.
At least with 1700 you can still overclock it to 3.7ghz with stock cooler while waiting for aftermarket cooler to be come available.

If you can save,better save.
Get 1700 enough since you gonna overclock. Motherboard maybe you can get other model. That MSI is too expensive.

Boards are not that much different(for x370 models) in terms of overclock because Ryzen overclock is limited by the process not motherboard unless you require that particular motherboard model features.

There is new patch to solve this but not sure how much improvement.
Do expect more patches coming for ryzen to improve gaming performance

No one knows the actual reason.
Maybe the Amd cpu + amd gpu is true after all

If you plan to overclock just get the one without X which is 1600.
Or you can straight go to 1700

Asus prime b350 plus is also good alternatives. Great vrm in b350 range

Asus teruk ka? Gigabyte Ga-AB350 Gaming 3 also good alternatives..
