AMD Ryzen Deals & Offers

Despite the subtle naming of loosing his flower.

(lol)

enjoy that life long virginity

This fools a troll. Posted zero deals and he downvotes a lot of deals for tags. Probably lives in his mums basement with his blow up doll 8)

Anyone think this price will be the new normal or go back up again? I can't buy this right now but would like to pair it with a Gigabyte X470 AORUS Ultra Gaming motherboard when I have saved up the money.

Very fair comment.

Ryzen 1700 is £169 for those who need more cores than 2600

Yes, but people in that link using very expensive Ram to show much better performance than 8400. In reality, with equal budget, they'll trade blows here and there. More future proofing with RYZEN though.

I, and the following website disagrees. www.techspot.com/amp/review/1627-core-i5-8400-vs-ryzen-5-2600/ The 2600 can be over locked, where as the 8400 is locked. Much more future proofing in the 2600!

Used Box a lot and never had any issues with them.

And lets not forget, most sites will only show max fps gained. So for augments sake MEA might only see a 5 fps increase going from 2133 to 3600 but they don't tell you that the .1% rate shoots up 20fps for a 40% increase :)

What extra money? Kingston themselves don't charge extra for 2133 to 2666 - even jumping to 2933 is only 7/8 pounds extra. Besides chances are a faster kit will generally be able to run slower with less latency than a stock 2133 part, and with infinity fabric that helps a lot. (mhz mostly)

Never seen Box.Co.Uk. Excellent warranty of three years collect and return. This particular deal seems OK to me, but I'm not one to build my own. Anyone ever used Box? These seems a decent price with a 1080ti https://www.box.co.uk/Cube-Rampage_2203947.html?config=2303258,2344682

Cold from me. Perfect for eSports. .. LOL

nothing special tbh.

Everyone knows you need at least 16GB on the GPU to run Minecraft

Ryzen 3 *system may not be delivered until spring 2019

Also... win 10 disc...but no optical drive lol!

There are no Ti cards being released, so assuming the trend of performance % is mainted in the next gen, then you will be about on par with your current card.

Would a 2600x be better gaming wise due to the higher single core speed or would this match/beat it generally speaking?

Awesome, ty

From what I can tell recent BIOS updates have fixed a lot of the memory compatibility issues that were plaguing the Ryzen lineup 6+ months ago. Seem rock solid now.

Are these fussy with RAM? I just ordered it as was looking to build something and this is ideal, but i'm a bit out of the loop with AMD chips. Can anyone recommend 16GB of RAM and maybe a good value Motherboard?

Good price for an AM4. Wow £190 for 1800x and £70 for this !! Such a shame RAM prices are so high or there would be the bones of a “budget pice” top end PC.

Are the vrm heatsinks pretty good for overclocks Thanks OP :)

That's a real shame, I really like AriaPC too.. Heat for this price though - you could build a top end foundation for sub £300 today!

To upgrade the bios without buying an older cpu, you can either contact msi/whatever manufacturer and they might be able to do it for you, or amd will send you a temporary cpu to do it. https://support.amd.com/en-us/kb-articles/Pages/2Gen-Ryzen-AM4-System-Bootup.aspx

Congratulations. That is the point. The newer CPUs don't boot on older BIOSes, so you need an older generation CPU to install, boot, update the bios to the newer version, remove the heatsink/CPU install your NEW CPU/heatsink then you're good to go. So you EITHER need to buy/borrow an older gen CPU, or pay someone else to do that first step. Are you SURE you're not "Ken M"?

Just remember to have some thermal paste to put on the new CPU (and clean up the old thermal paste on the cooler beforehand). Sorry if this is obvious to you! :)

yep

I’ve upgraded my cooler and got 700watt power supply so I’m fine there & got a Gigabyte b350 gaming 3 motherboard... that be up to the task?

Remember plz the postage from OC also, always puts me off that regardless how much money you spend you get charged £8+ postage.

The cooler would need to be upgraded if it's the stock Wraith Stealth; 1200 TDP is 65W, 1800X is nominally 95W (though it can easily exceed this) Motherboard might need/want replacing if it's a particularly crappy a320 or b350 with inadequate VRM.

Ha - you're right. Saw an interesting article though that demonstrated the i7 was inferior at all multi thread computational tasks but inferior for gaming. Making the Intel i7 a better FPS/£ ratio.

Thanks Gavin, I'll check it out.

Well personally I would go with a 1800x for now which will give you 8 core and 16 threads (big jump from from your 4 cores). I would also get a new generation board (B450) as it's been suggested AMD will move to 6 core CCX's for Ryzen 3rd gen. So 12 core 24 thread should be available as an upgrade path in the future (just rumours). This should leave more money to upgrade your GPU to whatever comes next (RTX 2080 or RTX 2070).

Tempted by this, I need an upgrade to my ancient gaming PC.... what's this CPU like for transcoding/converting video? I have an i5-3570 3.40Ghz, reckon this is worth the upgrade? (I know I'll need mainboard, memory etc)

Really? Show me all the cheap X299 motherboards that can take an i9? Magically they are around the same price as AMDs X399! So they are either both on the money or both charging too much.

yeah exactly I said "I class that as hot" I know most people think 65c is fine, I'm just an obsessive at getting it cool, my Hyper Evo 212 used to run on my old AMD processor before I got my i7, when it got repurposed I upgraded it with noctua fans btw I think the Noctua nd15 is sexy, I'm now slightly attracted to you! lol.

You may call it hot but absolutely more than acceptable. My point is, stock coolers can work and don’t always need upgraded. I personally run an Noctua ND15, as I already had it on my I5-2500k, so why not.

yeah I class that as hot, i7 6700k running at 4.2 and I don't get over 50c except last week when the weather was at 32c, I got up to 55c that day. that's going at it with sc2 running in 2k 144hz which as most ppl know sc2 is cpu heavy.

I was reply more along the lines against stock coolers being crap. Not all are created equally but the Ryzen ones are far better than the Intel false pretenders.

Stock 1700 cooler is the Wraith Spire 95W. The 2600 comes with the inferior Wraith Stealth 65W cooler. (Slim-line & no copper core) Hence, crap.

"We found a deal matching your 'gaming laptop' keyword alert!": Are you sure? Are you really sure? Please fix the inappropriate matching.

How much is slightly more? If you're talking about the 8700K then you compare that to a 2700X. In regards to the actual post there's absolutely nothing wrong with the 1800X. It's a great CPU. I'd still opt for the 1700 and overclock tbh.

yes, any GPU

Noob question but can this work with a 980Ti or does it need an AMD card? My system is decent but been thinking of upgrading my i5 3570k

1800x doesnt come with a cooler for the record. Lower speed too. Still a good deal. Especially if you dont need the higher speeds of Ryzen 2xxx

Let your bank convert it ,Paypal conversion rates are poor and Amazons are terrible.

Ordered thanks

Urgh. Just got a used i3 6100 and a b150a mobo. Tried putting a rx480 with it but nothing. Put the gtx750ti back in and games crash on boot. Wish I had gone amd new now too. Really put me off pc gaming . 😡

Is it better to pay in euros and let either paypal, or my bank convert it (just a standard debit card), or should I just pay using amazon currency converter?

Price is now down to less than £135! (shock)

Cold for being overpriced. Cold for also being scan

It's £999.98 now! Could you build a desktop with these specs for this price?

I was going for general comparisons, if he's asking for the competing company comparison he obviously doesn't have a vast knowledge in components and there's a reason the R7 line up has a 7 in it - to make it obvious it's there to take on recent i7's. Marketing, hey.

Thanks for re-activating

Why is Scan banned?
