Figured this would be helpful now that we're 2 days from "release day" to see when our stuff really ships.

I'll update this post when my orders get updated.

Newegg on 2/22 (shipped 3/1 in the PM, arriving 3/3):
1800X (3 Day Select)

Amazon on 2/22 (no delivery estimate as of 3/2 @ 7:43 PM CST, canceled myself):
Asus Crosshair VI (1 day shipping)

Amazon on 2/27 (no delivery estimate, cancelled after Newegg shipped):
1800X (1 day shipping)

Fry's of Austin Instore pickup on 3/2 (Ordered at 10:30 PM CST 3/1):
Asus Crosshair VI

Don't break my heart! They are coming, and are just over the hoRyzen. :D

EDIT: No update on mine either. However, now that for certain the embargo isn't up on the 28th like everyone had been saying, I no longer felt that they'd ship today, which is a damn shame.

Why would anyone buy something without seeing reviews? That's like buying a car with only seeing half a window sticker, and no reviews. Only complete and total fucking morons do that.

I am far from being a moron and I pre-ordered. For a number of reasons. I have all about the architecturew, I have read all the leaks and discounted those that were suspect. That still left me with overwhelming confidence that hte 1800X I ordered will satisfy beyond my expectations. Ryzen has a couple of weaknesses, but they are minor in the scheme of things. It has a few new technologies that Intel does not have that I like like XFR. It will do everything I need it to do. So why would I not buy it? Because I am looking for an excuse not to buy it? No way in hell. I only bought one computer with an Intel cpu in my life and that was the last one I will ever buy. I can trust AMD to give me quality. affordability, and innovation. Two of those three qualities I can NOT get from Intel. I do not worship monopolists. I despise them. Since I need a computer I will go with the underdog nine out of ten times. If I get burned I will reevaluate. But I do not see myself getting burned. Every negative rumor about Ryzen has been shot down: 1. It can't clock well. 2. It can't overclock. 3. It can't handle high speed memory. 4. AMD cheated in the demos. All proven wrong.

Then a "total fucking moron" I must be. To that I say: DEAL WITH IT! lol Does it anger you that much that we (or I) can have confidence in AMD? You may not know who Jim Keller is and the fruits his labor bore at AMD over a decade ago, but I do. I owned them all, and was very pleased with them. They put Intel in their place back then, and I think it's going to happen again.

That being said, my real reason for buying it 'sight-unseen' is because my system is old. Pre-Bulldozer old. Therefore, no matter how Ryzen performs, it's going to be a SUBSTANTIAL upgrade for me. Therein lies the logic behind me pre-ordering, and I won't buy Intel because I have moral standards, to which Intel as a company does not adhere to. However, I'm not delusional, you'll never see me claim that Intel's products suck, or that AMD's are better if they in fact aren't. It's just my choice to not support Intel due to past shenanigans. If that makes me a "total fucking moron", sobeit :)

Dude, what the hell is your problem? This is a Shipping thread, if you want to whine about someone else's purchase, you can always make your own thread. On that, I am not having anything shipped to me because I am picking mine on on March 2nd at Microcenter. :) I am still not entirely certain which board I will get that day though. I was but now, I am not. :D
 
yeah I ordered my 1700X tonight. Count me into the moron club. Why? B/C I want to play with something new. Was going to go with the Asus Crosshair, but I think I'll go with either the Asrock Taichi, or the Fatality Profressional.

  • Because some of us don't need to be lead by our hands like a baby
  • Because some of us are smart to evaluate the information already available
  • Because some of us can afford better things
  • Because one can send it right back if not happy with it - boy there is a thought that must have flew by you :rolleyes:
  • Because one also has ability to cancel the order rather quick if not shipped
  • Because some of us don't constantly bow down to Intel every time they fart
  • Because many of us do not want to wait after it sells out, realizing, Wow! I was so dumb! For not buying that earlier!
Only morons presume others are morons when it is beyond their comprehension the actions of others. Does that answer your question?
 
Corsair DDR4 Cas 15 2x8gb memory shipped, should be delivered 3 Mar
1700x - Pre-order status - Release 2 Mar
ASUS CrossHair VI Hero - Pre-order status - Release 9 Mar

New 1TB NVMe SSD, Intel 600p - in box on book shelf
Win 10 flash - in box on book shelf
Everything else for the most part that is usable is in my current setup will be reused - system below minus ASUS Sabertooth, FX processor, DDR 3 memory and the 128gb SSD which will be taken out.

I am going to have to wait well over a week after launch before I get to play due to the motherboard - that is if truly available and not have to wait for a shipment. So I will be flexible as needed on changing order(s), cancelling etc.

I have a 1700X, clueless about board until I pick up my chip at Microcenter (confirmed reservation - no money down) Ha Ha so much for being an idiotic moron who pre-ordered without paying.

I have no idea what RAM I want or case. I have an Intel 750 400GB so I don't need an M.2 even though I really want one. So I might save my dollars and just use the Intel 750 which is wicked fast already.

I have GPU 980TI already on bookshelf. I have windows 10 already on bookshelf. I have brand new in box from a long ago warranty swap Corsair AX1200 that I am going to use for the 1700X system.

So I will have 3x more power on reserve that my system will use. And that will feel good knowing that I will never fully tap that power supply. Been sitting still shrink wrapped in the box for 2 years now. Finally time it gets a deserving system.

Lets see....

I just need to order a new XSPC Raystorm for Socket AM4 and I will be 100% ready to go for overclocking. Have all the stuff for a custom loop (x3) from all the past loops I have built.

Nobody that ordered a LaFerrari got to test one or read a test before they were completely sold out and I doubt you'll find a single one disappointed. They were sold out before a single production car had been built.

That's not to say AMD is equivalent to Ferrari (though they did sponsor them for a while), but you can glean enough information to make an informed decision at this point just as all of those total fucking morons that bought LaFerraris did.
 
Not one of you that quoted my post, replied with anything valid. Most especially the guy that called me a liar.
 
I hit the buy button straight away as soon as I saw the 1800X. I'm a nutcase, sure. But it's the "blue stuff".

Same, going with the Fatal1ty pro myself. Had preordered the chip on Newegg. But since the board wasn't in stock for another week, cancelled that, and am going to try to snag both at microcenter tomorrow, sales tax be damned.
 
Mostly people who are on AMD platform and older Intel platform will move to Ryzen and that's good cause it will set new standards where 8/16 suddenly might become mainstream.

The rest of your order is very similar to mine. Read some reviews on that Intel chip. If you can.. not saying it's a dog compared to SSD but from what I read it's a dog compared to other PCIE solutions.

I damn near jumped on it but Intel PCIE being so much cheaper than others confused me... so I did a bit of research.

From what I read NVME SSDs are a money pit right now. Great for benchmarks but no real performance gain otherwise besides a few second boot time decrease. However if you have a work-related use I could understand buying one.
 
Les see..

Samsung 960 EVO M.2 1TB NVMe PCI-Express 3.0 x4.. shipped
MSI x370 Gaming Pro Carbon AM4 AMD Motherboard. Release date 3/9
AMD Ryzen 7 1800x Release date 3/2
Corsair Vengence 2x16 GB DDR4 2666 shipped
Deepcool GAMMAXX 400 CPU Cooler Shipped
thermal compound... shipped.

The rest is from my current build. 1070GTX, and my faithful corsair modular power supply.

I do storage upgrades once every 5-6 years now. So it should work well for me. ;)

FO4 and BF4 would disagree with whatever you've read. Same for Diablo 3
 
I couldn't decide on a board so I pre-ordered through MicroCenter. At least I can check them out in person and make a decision once I get there.

There was a firmware update that fixed the biggest issues with it, actually. I bought one when they first launched and had tons of trouble, but I primarily used it for game installations so it wasn't a huge issue. Large file transfers filled the buffer and made it take FOREVER to finish. A firmware update in January resolved it all, though.

Well I could give jack shit what you wrote. And by calling everybody morons who preordered, so you are also calling Kyle a moron? Because he suggested preordering? Hey Kyle BAN THIS MOFO!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes it is no where near a Samsung pcie drive but from my experience (I am using one in my I7 rig) it is noticeably faster then a Sata 850 Evo M.2 on things. Like for checking a steam game file, or if steam is finding the game file assets already available -> That is 3x + times faster it seems. Virus scans way faster. Other stuff not much different. Startup is also noticeably faster as well.

Above is on I7 rig, drive 52% full, it does some things good and others not. It is the bottom of the barrel pcie SSD but works good enough for me at this time.

My plan is a 480gb mydigitalssd BPX for OS m.2 in the 4x pcie 2.0 slot, and a 1tb Evo 960 in the m.2 4x pcie 3.0 slot.
I figure the difference will be small enough I can live with the somewhat slower OS drive, and just have my currently demanding games on the other.
My total upgrade cost wound up being about a grand more than I was initially planning because of storage upgrades.
Those two nvme drives and two 8tb Hitachi 7200rpm deskstars for the rest of my games and misc storage.
But with my repurposing of Sandy bridge into a file server for the rest of my several terabytes of crap, I figure those should last me on the main system for quite a while.
 
Suicideking, why do you need so much storage on your main box? 17TB, or 9 TB if you mirror your Hitachi drives would be severe overkill (FOR ME) unless you are storing video edits and such.

Just curious not critical.

The question I have is what should I use for my OS (Win 10)?
Intel 600p 1TB pcie SSD M.2
or
Samsung Sata III EVO 850 512gb with the Intel SSD for games, programs that need to run fast etc.
(850 Evo it is an actual M.2 drive in an enclosure hooked up to the sata port and power)
  • When playing a game the Intel SSD would not be interrupted with system stuff is what I am thinking plus would get less writes for virtual memory thus should last longer not being a system drive. I would then have a larger space dedicated for programs/games on the faster drive.

What do you think? I also added Diskmark test to previous post of the Intel 1TB M.2 pcie SSD

For me I'd just get the biggest SATA SSD I could. You can always get an nvme later when the prices go down. Besides a few small load time advantages and benchmarks you won't notice the difference.

When you consider what the bread and butter operation of an SSD drive is.. especially PCIE SSD it is the small reads and writes. I think the performance improvement of segregating your gaming and OS traffic on different buss's in our desktop enthusiast world is going to be lost on this. It's going to be am improvement of 1-2% maybe. That's just my gut talking.

Where I work we have some high performance mixed mode Fiber Channel attached storage to our Database servers. We have some of our volumes on Flash, and some on SAS drives. It depends on the small read and write use. So our transaction logs and such are on the Flash drives while our data storage is in a more flexible storage solution where blocks can be moved up into Flash or downgraded into SAS as needed. And our OS is on a in system SAS raid pair. Because really beyond booting up... these machines have so much ram and other resources the drive isn't really thrashed.

For yourself do this.. if you have dual monitors on your main system it will be easier.

Open up task manager go to the performance tab and click on open resource monitor.

In the resource monitor go to the Disk tab. Now do some gaming on your current storage solution and tinker around. Note your disk queue length. Does it ever = a whole number? Does it ever get high or stay pegged while gaming.

I'm going to do exactly that and load up say D3 while keeping the forum open and will be back to share what I see.

Thanks for the input, I will do the same but won't be able to do that now. Tomorrow I will be able to.

My basic quick test.. my queue length never went above 0.05, even though my disk usage hit 54% at one point.

This means that I never had a wait state for something waiting for physical I/O on my system.

Yes raw speed wasn't reflected truly, as your responsiveness at some point exceeds the ability of the tool to properly reflect. And I'm running everything on a Samsung 850 pro.
 
Called Amazon about my order... "This is going to be released tomorrow and will ship as soon as possible."

A little jealous, almost feels like I should have done Newegg... We will see how the day progresses though.
