Motherboard Deals & Offers

Same, I ordered a mobo and cooler. Took nearly 2 weeks to arrive and the cooler was missing. Ordered all parts for a new build on the same day and everything else from other suppliers arrived in 3-4 days and were sat there waiting. Had to send photos of what I received (if i was trying to blag it surely I'd just leave it out of the photo?! (lol) ) before chasing 3 times and finally getting a refund 2 weeks later after going through PayPal.

While I agree, yes if you want a cheaper Motheboard you can buy a cheaper motherboard, that cpu is completely different.

Scan.co.uk ASRock 320M-DVS Motherboard (AM4) £43.12 AMD Ryzen 3 3200G 3.6Ghz processor £82.99 2x 4GB Crucial DDR4 2400Mhz RAM £40.54 400W Be Quiet! System Power 9 80PLUS Bronze Power Supply £44.99 Not quite a tenner more, £223 total and it took me about 2 mins. If you get a 550W PSU, a Ryzen 5 3600 instead and buy a used Geforce 1070.. you'd have a pretty amazing budget build! That would probably add around £150 to the price. I haven't included hard drives as I usually swap my old ones into every new system and eventually replace them as they get 3+ years old.

Can you quote this one please? I'm trying to pick up a cheap system by picking out parts and am very interested, thanks!

Rip off, you can get a bundle with slightly worse board including RAM and a PSU for just a tenner more.

Good luck!

False, it's £89.99 at PCUpgrade. £83.99 is the Pro, not the Plus. Overclockers is the MATX version.

COLD: Only £83.99 at Overclockers and www.PCUpgrade.co.uk

Oh dear....just built with one today (y)

Nice choice. I’ve done 2 builds (1x Ryzen 5 2600x and 1x Ryzen 7 2700) with that board and they’ve both been solid. Well rated VRMs and good layout and 2 M.2 slots (1 is NVMe and the other is SATA).

I didn't say it would mate

How do you know it's the CPU? It could be any of several of components causing problems, or even an issue with your Windows install.

I've used other browsers same issue. I've also played games, 20 year old ones still get issues. it seems to get bottlenecks easy. I've had previously and never had issues, since get thus cpu there is always something, would never recommend them.

Maybe stop using Chrome? As a quick test, I'm seeing 8%-15% CPU utilisation in Chrome, at idle (HUKD homepage). In Edge (Chromium), it's a tenth of that (0.8%-1.5%). In Firefox, 0%-3%. With Brave Browser, CPU utilisation quickly drops to 0% and stays there. Is this a CPU problem, or a Chrome problem? It's been known for years that the Windows version of Chrome isn't a good browser for laptops and tablets. It's a resource hog that kills battery life.

I'd prefer going with a ryzen 5 and b450 board but this is still a good deal.

Bought a Lenovo laptop, damaged box. Product itself was in mint brand new condition. Its been over a year now still going solid. (y) (y) (y)

Just found these at Argos on clearance but not for delivery :( hope at least someone can find a nearby store stocking these! https://www.argos.co.uk/product/8687425

Bought xbox one s as "open - new". And it was "open - new" (y)

I bought the SteelSeries Arctis 1 Wireless from their clearance store - box was damaged but all the plastic wrapping had been untouched on the headphones themselves and looked like it had never been used. Guess I could've been lucky though!

I bought an open box msi laptop with codes from for nearly half price. I was concerned but It was literally open box but brand new. My only experience. At half price or 60 percent go for it but less than that I wouldnt bother.

The problem is it seems the issue is on a case by case basis, some boards and chips are better and worse than others. As well as instability, issues can also manifest in long term lifespan or downclocking with these sorts of issues. With other boards available without the issues in a similar price range, and the new b550s due in a few weeks, this or the other affected boards really arent a good buy as you are playing a lottery that you could avoid completely. If you dig into the MSI forums you can see users complaining also, not just reviewers and test benchers. If you upgrade frequently that may not matter to you but as I will always recommend based around longer term purchases, I would still advise to avoid the old MSI low end boards to simply avoid the lottery. With the alternatives, its just not prudent advice. This being said the high end x570 boards, and the newer mid range x570 Unify and Tomahawk seem to completely resolve these issues, so this isnt a blanket recommendation against MSI, just a point of contention with these older low-midrange x570 boards as MSI themselves admitted they werent good enough and fixed the issues in the Unify and Tomahawk. Its a shame they didnt follow through and completely discontinue the older designs also but I suspect they had inventory to shift... I hope thier new B550 continue to be as good as these revised X570, and the B450 boards were, as if so they will be a go to brand again at all price points. The x570 tomahawk due out any day looks exceptional at around the 220 mark, and they moved the chipset fan so it avoids larger graphics cards which is a great move for both chipset and graphics card heat. If anyone wants to buy for longer term and needs the features of x570 at the lower end of the x570 price spectrum, this would be my recommended board, so again Im not anti-MSI, I just cannot in good faith advise anyone to take the lottery on these old low end x570 boards, especially as low sales will send a good message to MSI not to make the same mistake again (ie laziness).

owner of x570 MPG Gaming Pro Carbon WiFi - which was completely slammed to the ground by hardware unboxed channel I am yet to have problems with VRM cooling solution while pushing first the 3600x to 4.48GHz and later the 3900x 4.72GHz on an 10 year old Noctua NH-U12SE2 It might be the fact that I bought the board in December last year but there were no revisions available at that time. I wouldn't buy an X570-A PRO for sure but it doesn't mean that the whole product lineup for MSI is terrible

Great for frying eggs

No problem. Always better someone puts the money where itll matter than on bling, buzzwords or overkill :) If you save a few hundred now, thats a whole new graphics card in a few years etc...

Thanks for all the advice bro! Hope you have a great weekend 8) 👊🏼

The price of boards has sneakily crept up this last two years. £135 is the new £90

Yeah pretty sure the VRMs overheat on this one. Better to get an alternative if you can

Do yourself a favour and get a B450 board like Tomahawk max or B450 Pro carbon AC if you dont care for PCIE 4 and are fine with using a beta bios if you get a zen 3 cpu. B450 is more than capable of running even a 3950x at good temps, even in a low airflow case they measured about 80c for the tomahawk which for a VRM is perfectly fine

msi.com/blog/mpg-x570-gaming-edge-wifi-vrm-thermal-test Similar board.

This deal is to hot, will melt at home.

Hoping Amazon have it soon too!

iv not seen anywhere , im having to wait for amazon as i have a gift card (annoyed)

Anywhere else selling this?

Thanks. Much appreciated. :)

Definitely don't buy the MSI boards listed here. Astock is best of a poor bunch in that list.

FYI gigabyte is great but their Aorus software is riddled with bugs.

or just buy a 3900x and x570 motherboard ;) XD

In fact I just moved my system onto an open box x570 mobo this morning from an open box deal from those guys.

As stated by Blurigard 12 months free warranty is issued with this purchase. Thanks

Ccl still give 12 months warranty

The Board is MATX, so U SHOULD, be ok.. most type usual accept Matx though there range, its bang in the middle of common sizes. if ur looking for a nice new type case on budget, have a look at the 1st Player, DK from CCL, its new to them. but its a cracking little one, open airflow, £36ish, RGB lights, for £36 pretty solid basic case, with no give on the airflow.. nice budget winner.

£66.98 on Amazon but not due in until May 29th. Thanks to your help @sarden84 I ordered this plus the 3200G processor and 16 GB of 3200 RAM. I've everything else from previous builds. Not sure what size of case I have but if I'm really stuck I'll order something when the parts arrive.

Nice one, just ordered a load form CCL Direct too! Doh!! ;-p

I suspect this will drop more as b550 MOBOs start being released?

This is very tempting but the b550 released very soon,do I get this or the b550?? It's for a new build

Personally i dont think it's worth the money too and add the fact that it's a lottery if you get one that runs reliably made me stear clear of it.

This or the XT? I feel like the XT is hundred pounds more but the performance gain isn't worth the extra price right?

I It's been delayed but i will hopefully be able to test it tommorow and compare the frame rates for the gigabyte rtx 2060 i wrote down.but if this video is to be believed it should be level or 3-10 fps faster depending on the game.

@hong_kong_englishman Did it arrive? How well does it perform? I'm stuck between this, a 2060 or paying a bit more for the 5700XT that was posted earlier today.

Well my luck still seems to be holding as i checked my bank account and amazon charged me £269.24

nice build :D

Both Intel aswell, defo good for PFSENSE, shame it doesn't have a DC in power supply

Dual gig ethernet, great for a pfsense beast.

Someone changed it. Changed it back. Thanks.
