It's £15

Doesnt support DDR4 or Skylake CPUs. Cold

Doubt it. CamelCamel says it was reduced yesterday:

So more likely, someone at Amazon found out / was told that PC World had it on offer and Amazon price-matched. Common behaviour from Amazon but I wonder once they've done a Walmart/Tesco on all retail sectors and killed of all/most of the other players will they still do price-matching?

Hey, I love good prices and great CS as much as the next person but I do wonder if Amazon will not end up biting us all eventually. Certainly, aside from not paying much (any) taxes, it seems that next to nobody is actually happy working for them: not the warehouse staff, not the outsourced delivery staff, and (at least in the US) their actual office staff seem to get a lot very aggressive targets. Race to bottom.

Well the biggest con with Amazon has already passed. Wipe out the competition then steadily increase the minimum order value for free delivery. Of course Prime is the final nail in the consumer coffin as it starts to look like 'good value' thanks to all their bolt-on services. In reality it's just incredibly smart marketing tactics which progressively limits your options.

Same price at Amazon.

Ok so it says x6 sata 3g and in tech specs if says x6 sata 6g. Does anyone know which is right?

currys is a joke I seen this instore thought.. bargain.. yet its same price on amazon..will be hard pushed to ever find a true bargain in the DSG group.

only usb 2.0 - no thanks

Now just need the AMD 860k to drop in price

Not bad ...

IMHO this thing about amazon and taxes is a load of tosh...if it means they reduce the price to the consumer, I am all for it

The tax system has grown into a huge monster, sucking money in from all sources, for the purpose wealth redistribution, not as a social security safety net. The things that our tax money is spend on these days just beggers belief

The more money in a system, the more chance for the pigs to have a go at the trough

Money and how it is spend is better left to individuals that earned it, not the freeloaders that want their unfair share by promoting their own selfish causes

As for amazon's workers. I feel sorry for them, but if their work is too hard, they should quit. Me paying money to a company that pays corporation tax in the UK just skews the system and doesn't improve working conditions, as it encourages poor pay and conditions with the govt paying out tax credits to underwrite these poor pay and conditions

So whats wrong with the power delivery then?

Also can any one tell what range of processor this will take up to then?

Nothing wrong with it per se, just being a 3+1 design with no heatsink limits its potential for overclocking. It's designed for max 95w. So you won't get any big numbers out of an 860k. But will work with any FM2 or FM2+ CPU/APU upto 95w.

That's why my suggestion above is probably the best solution for this board. The reason I chose that APU it it gives the best performance per £ to build a cheap system. You simply can't build an Intel system for that price. The more money you throw at it the more it leans towards buying an Intel based system.

I hope that explains it better.

I was so impressed by your collection of ill conceived parroted sound bites that I immediately added you to my ignore list to save you further embarrassment in the future.

I wonder what this guy was on about. He has posted in wrong place i think, or he has lost the plot

Ok I get you. But how did you tell this? As it does not describe that from the page.
So it doesn't require a heatsink then? You are just installing the cpu straight into motherboard, add your ram, and you should be up and running, with on board graphics atleast?

Christ, people in this thread complaining it's not got USB 3 or 6GB/s Sata or won't have great overclocking abilities.

It's a £15 FM2+ socket motherboard. At this point it's a budget build.

It's £15 what do you expect!!!!!!!

No. You will still need to install a heatsink/fan on top of your CPU.

He means that there are no heatsinks on some of the components on the motherboard, which high-performance motherboards will have, to help dissipate heat. I think this is mainly on the voltage regulation components (VRMs) and just allows you to put more power through them (when overclocking), whilst the heatsink helps prevent them overheating.

​
Erm no. You can easily tell what power delivery a motherboard has by looking at it and counting the small black blocks around the cpu. And he means a heatsink on the power delivery system on the motherboard, you still need a cooler on the cpu

It was a sarcastic response to the person complaining about only USB 2.0.

I find Amazon price match any Uk company to steal their sales - pity they don't come up with their own deals - I try support the smaller companies and not huge corporations

Price matching... who?

With 6 sata, it can do for a custom NAS for those whom want to do their own. Also a cheap mid-end steam box for the livingroom

Yeah you got it - Guess they invented Black Friday too then

Cheers, just picked one up, great find

expired

I guess you are one of the parasites feeding off the taxpayer...but feel free to pay your fair share of taxes and avoid amazon deals...knobber
