Unify all day long.Check out OCN thread.Played with x370 & x470 crosshair.POS.
Asus has sucked with AMD for ever.
Bring back DFI & ABit.Those where the days.

Some people are not smart enough to own Asus i guess....i absolutely love mine. DFI was the biggest POS nightmare i ever owned!!! They had purty boxes though!Unify all day long.Check out OCN thread.Played with x370 & x470 crosshair.POS.

I just got a Unify in for review. I've only inspected it thus far. It seems well built and its a good looking board.
Any updates on your review? Chomping at the bit.
Dan your going to like the unify.Toss in Patriot viper steel 4400. Let the games begin.
Asus AM4...................No searching thru pages of unorganized bios.Multiple reboots trying to load.Unify boots quick.Crosshairs boot time is like watching paint dry.
I am working on other things at this very moment. Unfortunately, that one is going to be a couple weeks out at least.

you're comparing a $300 board to a sub $200 board. a board that's as much as a 3700x. complete, uttertly overkill for a 3700x unless you need a 2.5g network card integrated. or having issues with it but if that's the case just look at the gigabyte aorus elite. you're better off staying with the tuf. that money wasted would have been better spent at a better cooler (that would actually benefit more for higher boosting / overclocking), video card, nvme, and so much more worth while things.
i know bullzoid of actual hardcore overclocking wrote off boards above 200 for 8 cores and below and only a few boards over 200 worth it for 3900x's and 3950x's. all he could justify was the nic cards really.
but hey i guess its your money. here i am sitting on a tuf plus non wifi and a 3800x and happy. i spent my money on 32gb cas 16 3600mhz ram, meshify c, two nvme's (adata sx8200 and intel 660p 1tb), and a fuma 2 cooler.
looks fine except get a bigger case or dont complain about it running hot...I think my new build is quite decent - 3700x, 32gb cas 16 3200mhz ram, Caselabs BH7, 1 new NVME (1tb Inland), 2 SSD from previous build, Powercolor RX 5700XT, and a Noctua U9S (limited in what I can use due to case limitations). I already have the Asus Tuf, but I got it before they cut the price.

Couldn't you fit a 240mm AIO in there?
You're right, d'oh! I guess that would provide better cooling for the 3700X and make it a bit quieter than the Noctua, wouldn't it?

not necessarily think of how many fans you will be running on that radiator (push, pull) then add in pump noise. noctua makes a pretty efficient/quiet cooler not sure about the u9? you couldn't go w/ a u12? the u12 posted better temps than some aio's in a recent linus tt video. or i'm looking at getting a Cooler Master MasterAir MA620M for my 3800X but i also have a window and full atx case so not sure if it would fit in the one you got?
Well it would only be a either a pull or a push - the case doesn't have room for a push/pull setup. Strange, I've wanted a Caselabs Bullet for a while now, and now that I have it, it's almost like it's not living up to expectations (which were set and held by me and only me). The case is quality through and through, no issues there. Just wish it was a bit bigger/taller (which would make it a BH8).
The tallest Noctua that would fit in the case with 2 120mm fans on the top is a Noctua U9S.
forever? dude back in those days the ASUS A8n32-SLI Deluxe paired w/ FX-60 & Corsair TWINX2048-3500LL PRO was the most bad ass system you could own (and i did, until it was stolen). there was also a reason ABIT went out of business... you can have them. 990FX Sabertooth was also a beast.
but back to modern day, if i had unlimited money I would prob grab a crosshair but since i don't i'm grabbing a TUF. Not saying anything against the unify tho. it looks nice and hopefully that is their attempt to make up for their garbage low end X570 boards. but then again it's $300 where as the ASUS TUF can be had for almost half of that right now if you don't need wifi. so.. either way you will prob do alright. especially w/ a 3700X.
I still have it.LMFAO.Sell it to you.
