Motherboard Deals & Offers

Yes. Shouldn't bottleneck at all.

Would this card be really good with i5 8600k?

No more with this price.

How are you getting it to that £320 price? I can only see it for £418..

Wish i had a pc to out this into haha heat added for price.

there is no option

I believe it's during the checkout process.

Ha, it had been c. 80 for a solid day!

153° is hardly bad

Where do you enter the code?

Thanks for the heads-up on all the bundles: I was hovering over the 2600x + tomahawk b450 + 16gb for 340 for a bit, went to eat a bacon sandwich, and the turds added 50 quid to all the bundle prices while I was eating. (annoyed) edit: they came back at the deal prices. 8)

As others have said, this board is pointless with the CPU, you are giving up on alot of extra performance for a minimal saving.

Pairing a 2600X with this board is a really, really bad choice. Even at stock the VRMs are going to get extremely hot, thanks to the lower quality components and complete lack of heatsinks. They're really not designed to accomodate the higher-end Ryzen chips. Spending that much on the CPU and then buying an absolute bottom of the barrel motherboard lacking in features and even basic things like VRM heatsinks doesn't make sense. Especially on a platform like AM4 that has a lot of life ahead of it. You'd be better off dropping down to the 2600 non-X and putting the extra towards a B450 board if you really can't spare the extra £15-20.

How about this ? 2600X + MSI B450M PRO-VDH Its 209£ after code.

Thanks, This is a great price.

If you have a mATX case there's a similar combo here for £186.14 that allows overclocking.

If you're not sure if you need 32gb you probably don't.

Managed to get a really good deal with a lot of shopping around, and probably a bit of pure luck (my best offer on the board was accepted almost instantly, think the seller wanted it sold desperately). Got a Gigabyte AB350-GAMING for £35 before discount via accepted best offer and got the Ryzen 2600 for £145 buy it now before discount, both brand new, paid £154.70 in total with discounts and P&P (y) , so approx £10 cheaper than this for same CPU but with a far better motherboard. That said I did spend a lot of time comparing prices, making best offers and so on before I chanced upon this and no guarantee I could get the same price if I had to do it again. For a no fuss solution from a trusted retailer and 3 years warranty the OP deal is still decent to be fair....

Any decent ryzen 2400g bundles? not used my ebay voucher yet

I am looking for a CPU and board bundle sub £200 and am seriously tempted by this. I don't mind the lack of overclocking too much but what is really putting me off is the 2 memory slots as I have a four module 32GB kit I got in an Amazon deal and if I opted for this I could only use 16GB because of the lousy motherboard. That said, I am not sure if there is much benefit running 32GB vs 16GB for general use and gaming? If not I might still opt for this and sell the remaining 16GB I can't use....

nothing for 1700 or 1800 but there's a 1800x bundle at a more expensive price of £261.8 with the code: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/CCL-4-0GHz-AMD-Octa-Core-Ryzen-7-1800X-Bundle-MSI-B450M-PRO-VDH-Motherboard/113325979916?hash=item1a62c1390c:g:1~UAAOSwRhFbzxYm:rk:5:pf:0 haven't a clue about intel so can't help you there but you can search the model within the ccl shop to see if they got it in a bundle: https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/cclcomputers/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_ipg=&_from=

So tempting! But I'm going to stay strong and wait for 7nm Ryzen 2 next year :must resist:

Heated! Good to see some motherboard and cpu bundles deals as im after one myself. This seems decent but Is there any more to save by opting for the last gen ryzen like the 1700? Any good bundles with that or the 1800? Also is there anything comparable to this on the intel side for a similar price or are the intel cpus always dearer? Main use is gaming.

Voted hot - INTEL are way too expensive and AMD have really done well with this new generation CPU.

Loads of bling lol

I've not built pcs for over 10 years now, motherboards look so much better than they used too!!

thanks won’t make a rookie mistake of soaking it in water

I think either is fine as long as you give the potato a good old rub to make the electrical bits work.

shall i peel it and is maris piper good or should i go for some yukon golds

I don't like sausage rolls.

Cold, could buy a sausage roll for 75p

359 on ebuyer but 3 free games. There is also an offer, if you use visa you'll get £10 back.

This is a good price for the mentioned card. Infact it went hot at 50£ more earlier this month.

Sapphire and Gigabyte versions far cheaper on Overclockers right now. Cold.

I just got a black ops 4 code through on email which I didn't know came with the monitor.

Why would you ever need more than around 100-200cd/㎡? I doubt you have the lighting for anything higher.

This is my recommendation for photo editing on any budget https://www.wexphotovideo.com/eizo-monitors/ However I knew I would not have enough money for a good monitor (£800+) for a while so rather than buying something around £300 (my budget) and regretting it in 2 years time I decided to get a Dell SE2717H, it regularly comes down in price and was very good for my needs. I edit in PS and LR but my work isn't commercial I am only a hobbyist at the moment. While trying to get my work noticed by potential clients I will more than likely be using social media and this will be viewed on a phone that isn't colour accurate so my monitor didn't matter too much. The difference is too little to warrant me going out and buying an expensive monitor until it is making me some real money.

I've received xg23v model. Is it only me? What's the difference between xg32v and xg32vq?

Ordered. Thanks op.

Says £72 now. I went for the Gigabyte one when I got mine

Same, I have a 2200g in there with stock cooler running stable at 3850 CPU, 1550 GPU, and RAM bumped from 3000 to 3200. Rock solid. My only regret is that it isn't ITX.

Looking at getting this and the Ryzen 5 2600, could anyone suggest which ram to purchase with them? Thanks

Its a microATX, it has less components?
