AM4 Mobos

Your first problem is buying amd. Anything other than an i5 is a meme.

>>59401486
fuck off kike

>>59401055
stop making threads that could be answered in existing ones, you faggot

>high performance motherboard
>gaming motherboard

>>59401512
Yes I'm a kike because I understand single threaded performance matters and that hyperthreading is the worst meme ever.

no you're a kike because you think AMD did another bulldozer before they have even released the chips that compete with intel i5

>>>/v/

>>59401587
Not a single amd processor can compete with the single threaded performance of an i5.

>>59401659
10% slower at a lower clock speed, lets wait until they actually release their R5 chips you dense fucking shill.

>>59401659
can you fuck off to the other shill threads? if buying a ryzen cpu trigger you so much you have quite some problems.

>>59401692
I'm sorry you can't face that amd has dissapointed us yet again.

I use an fx-6300.

>>59401685
Show me the benchmarks.

Doesn't what chip it is you amd mongoloid. Amd sucks as at single threaded performance.

>>59401717
>>59401702
R5 is the chips to compete with i5.
There's plenty of benchmarks but ofc a retarded kike shill like you is too fucking stupid to find one and would just dismiss anything that proves you wrong.

>>59401055
I've have on order the gygabite gaming 5 but I might cancel it to get the taichi when it will get restocked. Is it a good move?

Waiting on the X300 itx boards.

Let's hope they're better.

If I were to buy one now, it would be the AORUS K7.

>>59401055
Asrock Taichi is really nice if you don't care about all the bells and whistles. It has the high end 16 phase power configuration but is cheaper than all the high end boards.

>got a crosshair on its way to me

Despite being the 3rd most expensive x370 board it actually works out as the cheapest high end board for me simply because I can slap my AM3+ monster air cooler onto it. I plan on keeping the board for quite a while and if zen+ turns out to be amazing I could drop that into it and still feed it over 9000 niggawatts of power.

>>59401989
I was considering it but when will it be back in stock? ....

>>59402065
Supposedly newegg will have them back in stock before the end of the week.

>>59402168
even on newegg canada?

>>59401055
X370 Taichi is easily the one to get

External BCLK and 12+4 power phases

https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157757

>>59401055
Taichi. Hands down. No argument.
It's the cheapest one with a good VRM and an external BCLK . It also has good BIOS and memory support.
It's the strioped down version of a higher end board, but retains all of the performance important features.

>>59402200
>>59402198
so asrock wins?

>>59402457

>>59401055
ASRock, because it fits my build the best aesthetically.

I'm thinking taichi, but still not 100%

>>59401055
The Gigabyte boards have the most mature firmware and best faster memory support at this point. Asus the worst.

>>59402200
How do they compare to the gigabyte x370 boards? I've heard they are to top at the moment.

>>59403807
I should add, the taichi is only $20 less than the top end gigabyte board in Australia, so I don't care about price.

>>59403807
Bump for curiosity

>>59402064
That dual-mount design is nice, but I'm hearing reports of poor stability from Asus boards across the line, it seems that for the time being they're the ones dropping the ball.

>>59403807
The Gigabyte X370 5 is said to be better than the Crosshair, and Asrock is better still. Asrock boards also apparently support ECC in some capacity as discovered by level1techs. I wouldn't be surprised as all Asrock x99 boards had ECC support as well, whereas not all boards from other parties did.
This may change soon as all of these companies will be scrambling to update firmware and fix issues. All I know is that in the moment the Taichi is the most stable board available.

>>59404246
The gigabyte 7 is the one with external BCLK

>>59401055
ASRock for budget builds, MSI for high quality. Gigabyte is trash.

>>59402178
Just order from US site to Canada

>>59404807
none of the MSI boards have External BCLK , maybe the $300 one does, but that's retarded to buy

Stop posting, you have no idea what you are talking about

STILL WAITING FOR THUNDERBOLT

>>59405035
Literally why.

ITX when

>>59404835
oh lol its even cheaper after converting usd to cad wtf. Maybe it will be the shipping or the duties that will rip me off

>>59401055
ASRock X370 Taichi for ECC support.
http://www.crucial.com/usa/en/x370-taichi/CT9993227
Too bad neither the motherboards nor the RAM are available.

No mini-itx no buy. No way in hell I'm ever getting a biostar

>>59406939
my biostar has been more stable than the 2 MSI's i had before it, one MSI blew a cap, the next wouldn't keep bios settings after trying multiple batteries, cleaning contacts etc

>>59406973

Color me surprised. I just associate them with low-end trash.

>>59407066
I'm not saying they are the best, and my experience is anecdotal, but I've been pleasantly surprised with it.

>>59407066
why? I don't understand how Biostar suddenly got that reputation, they were never seen as trash before

>>59407165
why are they still in stock while all the other company are sold out? it makes you think a bit

>>59407165
>>59407679
I think their bad rep is still in effect from quite a long time ago

I've got a few ASRock mobos and both were/are fine. Board 1. Socket 939 Dual Sata 2 (Features both full speed AGP8x and PCI 16 graphics slots) from back in 2005 - Still works btw.
Board 2. - See Speccy pic
Also own Foxconn mobos. Got one from 2005. a Winfast6150 Socket 939. running as my server's mobo from 2005 till now. Also got a Socket am2/am2+ board from 2008. Still works, used to be my desktop board. Pulled it cause it was ram limited (4GB max) and due to lack of USB 3 and Sata III ports.

>>59401782
The only people who have claimed R5 will have higher clockspeeds than R7 are fanboys speculating based on tdp.

Whats the actual differences between the taichi and the asrock killer ?

>>59405565
It has a cool name.
It's like firewire v2.0, completely useless but you want it anyway just for the name.

>>59404905
the Titanium also hasn't.
Gigabyte and Asrock do, for sure, Asus I'm quite positive it does, but not 100%

either Taichi or Gigabyte.
good and reliable with mininum gimmicks vs dual bios, also quite reliable as well.

>>59401055
>>59401055
Lol INTEL Masterbaterace

>>59409416
color scheme, dual nics and creative SB on the killers and other assorted gaming oriented minor stuffs.

>>59410994
So pretty much the same but less chockers too?

AMD is fucking garbage. Everything they make is absolutely, objectively crappy as shit and only a fat neckbeard would buy this shit-tier crappy shit because he's afraid of running out of autismbux (because God forbid he spend less money on Taco Bell and Mountain Dew.) I tried building an AMD gaming rig once and it was the worst experience of my life. First off, that CPU clip is fucking impossible to use. It looks just like an old Pentium CPU clip, but it's autistically retarded and I couldn't deal with it. And the graphics card was so fucking huge, I had to cut a hole all the way around my case to fit it in. Fucking AMD.

But wait, that's not even the best part! When I tried to start up my shitty autismbox (which I sold to the Association of Retarded Citizens BTW) the absolutely massive power draw dimmed every light in my house and throughout the entire neighborhood like I was firing up fucking ENIAC in the 1920s or some bullshit. I had plenty of time to worry about my power bill too, because this shitty thing couldn't figure out which of its 32 CPU cores to use and it took half a day to boot. As soon as I tried to play a game (fucking Starcraft from 1998), it lagged so hard it went backwards. I thought I should try downloading a driver, but there aren't any. There are no fucking drivers. What the shit, AMD? No wonder Apple doesn't use your shit. It wasn't long after that that I realized this thing was putting out more heat than a goddamn jet engine and it burned my house down.

Two weeks later, when I sold that piece of shit, I built an Intel/Nvidia rig! Holy shit, it's like jacking into the Matrix! I built it 5 years ago and it still runs every game in 4K at 240 FPS while using no power and it actually cools my house during the summer. What a beautiful machine, I seriously hope none of you are poor and stupid enough to buy AMD.

>>59401055
>top perf?

probably asus

>perf/$$$?

asrock?

>all-around

msi then gigabyte probably

I personally wait for a mobo which supports ecc

>>59411042
iirc both are 16 phases

>>59411042
Ryzen doesn't need beefy VRM
It doesn't even need external BCLK for 3200 RAM.
Decent B350 is more than enough.

>>59411062
thx for shining light on the matter

>AQUANTIA 5G LAN
>Intel 802.11ac WiFi
>wifi

the heck is that LAN? first time seeing this name

>>59411080
B-but will it eventually support 3200mhz rams?

>>59411291
It's on B350 motherboards specs, I think on all of them, rumor is AMD changed some subtiming settings right before launch fucking up BIOS so eventually yes.

>>59411305
Ok so I just could buy the killer and call it a day and be able to pull some good benchmarks/pull some intense stuff and it will be fine

>>59411366
Thats a joke isn't it? It can't be release this early

>>59411370
most likely, the important PCIE lanes are all on CPU
I'd wait a bit to be sure, OC3D should do some more testing I think, they do good MB reviews.

>>59411385
nope, r7 is dead outside niche market, i5 is dead, i7 not K is dead

All ZEN cores are equal. 1600x is a monster. Also much larger L3 per core.

>>59411389
But the killer is in stock atmon newegg and I need a mobo asap for the end of the semester

>>59401055
>no supermicro
DROPPED

>>59411403
Damn . Any source for that tho?

>>59411416
get it then it works fine, might take a few weeks before RAM fully supported

>>59411403

...but /g/ told me AMD is useless and that they would be bankrupt (and most likely bought by samsung) this year.

>>59411419
Guru3d.

>>59411419
it's gone from guru3d
someone might've jumped the gun, not first time he did that
most likely true

>>59411428
He-he, goyim, yes, ayymd is finished and bankrupt, now buy this fucking 7700k.
