It also has an ugly Dimm.2 slot and unnecessary 'edgy' ROG logo. ..
I wanna see a no-nonsense board without RGB, printed graphics and flashy shields/covers/heatsinks. I want something that looks like it was made to do work, not be a show piece. Reinforced PCI-E slots, heat sinks designed to be as efficient as possible. Clear silk screen numbering dimm Banks, slot numbers, connector numbers, etc.
Keep in mind these things take a while. It took Intel over a year to fix theirs.I really really want one but after drescherjm pointing out linux issues (under load, compiling crashes in random ways...) I'm going to wait until those get ironed out. The problem was reported in April and it still exists with no fix and almost no communication from AMD.
The delidding revealed the same Zeppelin dies that are already in the Ryzen CPUs. I get that it appears more likely now that we know how Threadripper isn't all that different from Epyc, but still LR-DIMMs need BIOS and motherboard support.If them confirming 1TB in 8 slots wasn't enough (literally impossible w/o load reduce which is registered) now that one has been delidded and TR really are just disabled epyc chips, done deal in my book.
If you read the AMD community forum thread, AMD communicates directly through individual service requests, and sent out replacement CPUs to several users already. In some cases this helped, in others it didn't.I really really want one but after drescherjm pointing out linux issues (under load, compiling crashes in random ways...)

I like the 10G NICs in some of the boards. Now only if switches were cheap..
Taichi's probably the closest to that on the high end side(pro gaming might be the same),on the x370 it only has 6 leds that slow flash around the chipset.. I didn't bother to install the asrock software to control them though. I hate leds but my graphic card pretty much covers them up.I wanna see a no-nonsense board without RGB, printed graphics and flashy shields/covers/heatsinks.

I like the $999.00 price instead of $999.99. lol
Will be cooled by my EVGA CLC 280mm.
Haven't had an AMD Processor since the AMD 64 3200+ back in 2005.
I added a 2nd 1TB 960 Pro NVMe drive to this purchase. Going completely NVMe with this build. No SATA cables and cutting back on power cables too.
With this kind of spend, would it not be prudent to wait until the reviews are out?
Can't decide if I want to upgrade from my X99 rig, was planning on hanging on to this longer but Threadripper is very tempting. I'll probably wait for reviews, it's nice that AMD has made CPUs exciting again though

Preordering CPU from Amazon is almost like post-ordering instead lol.
Not to mention Amazon is leagues above Newegg for return policy
They're always slow as hell for me. Maybe they hate me.Why you say that?
It takes a week or more to get crap to GA from Slowegg. Amazon can do next day air for $6 for me lol. MolassesEgg charges me nearly 75 to 100 for next air to ship a penny in an envelope.
Don't you pay tax on egg purchases via "Use Tax" or does your state not have that?agree, if it wasn't for having to pay taxes when buying on amazon i'd have no reason to ever use newegg but sometimes shipping ends up being cheaper than the taxes so i'll use newegg on certain things.
Newegg is the best place to buy part for me. Prices are even or cheaper the Amazon most the time cause no tax. Newegg is easier to browse and find what I need and since I am a state over I get my order in 2 days most the time using newegg saver. Even when it comes from their CA warehouse it is no more then 4 days.Why you say that?

Make sure to post pics once you have your build up an running in that sweet Thermaltake case!
