My kit finally arrived today and i have it built and running @ Stock so far, ran all the benchmarks i had previously run on my i5 3570K @ 4.6Ghz and for the most part can see improvements, but in a few tests its dissapointing, however, overall it is an improvement still, especially multithread naturally, but not as i had expected coming from such an old 4 core CPU.
For those considerinmg the MSI B450 Tomahawk, its a nice board thought the bios looks a bit naff due to its "lite" features, and initially i had to use flashback with an old USB memory stick to put on the latest v18 bios, but when i put in the chip etc and booted, no display, so i re inserted the usb and re flashed the bios using the button again and after it completed it rebooted and went straight into the bios, ive only set the time and XMP for RAM and rebooted a few times since, all seems well so far
