EXPLOSSSSSSIIIIIIIOOOOONNNN!!!!!
:lovetpu:
Over the last 10 years More and more people now Rate/Recommend them along side the Major Vendors
These Boards look
Hope they live up to the Ryzen Hype and perform
For the Sake of impartiality here is an Intel Behemoth inspires silhouette
Ya get two cuz intels a bigger company :)
Could the AsRock's reported frequencies be only the base frequencies and not the OC frequencies? Asus and MSI clearly specify the offered 3200 MHz is when OC'd.
The Gigabyte GA-AB350M has the same problem, unfortunately.
Apparently the higher specced Ram will run when one or two sticks are used, but not four.
This should be fixed in a future BIOS update.
My only issue is the limited Ryzen launch, otherwise I'd be building a 4C/8T Ryzen system for my causal brother-in-law using the PRO4. However, it'll probably end up being an i5 because it doesn't matter to him. AMD will see my money when the 6-cores and X300 drop while ASRock regularly sees my money :)
I dont care for any of them, the network may be a bonus one day, but im in no hurry to upgrade from 1gb, and i would really rather not have the creative audio, and rgb's are for turning off:)
The Missing buttons on the taichi really bug me though, and while the intel taichi's are nice too, i'd prefer them in all black
