@Gibbo Can you confirm that the motherboards (specifically the X370 ROG Crosshair VI Hero) will be available on 2nd March and shipped with the CPU?

I don't do mainboards I am afraid but we will be getting some from first UK deliveries of course.

Stock lands next day or two, but we cannot ship any orders until March 2nd, rules set by AMD.

Cheers, will get a pre order in for the R7 1700.

Do you have stock of the EK AM4 blocks yet or are they pending?

Yaayuh! · 22 Feb 2017 at 20:20

Boom, sorted!

I'm sure all am sockets are all the same, i have just ordered 1700 and a am3 block wait till the 2nd to see motherboard reviews (fingers crossed)

An AM3 block is not going to work?

AM4 sockets are different, first time since s939 I believe.

As I understand it if your cooler uses the built in bracket it's the same from am3 but if it's a case of removing the bracket and using the motherboard holes they won't fit

The cooler situation is the only thing stopping me from ordering. I'd happily order all my components now but there's not much point if I can't get a Corsair AIO cooler with an appropriate bracket. I want to build a system once, not bung in a stop-gap cooler. I'm not spending 2K on here only to have to email Corsair and wait for a bracket.

You said "ship" what if I came and picked it up...

Zeed · 23 Feb 2017 at 11:21

Well i ordered AM4 Waterblock Motherboard and CPU. Sad to see my XSPC cpu block go

Gibbo when stock lands can we expect some in house 8pack overcocking ??

Vakas · 23 Feb 2017 at 11:31

I hope NZXT quickly release a new bracket for the Kraken x62

Skilty · 23 Feb 2017 at 11:43

Decisions, decisions, go for a 1700X along with the motherboard and memory with no gaming benchmarks to speak of...

EDIT: never mind just seen the cooler thread, OCUK staff on the ball as always
