The 2-5 week dispatch time has me thinking they have price matched somebody, pretty much as they do in the UK when they price match a retailer. Bump up the dispatch time and hope for the best, whilst keeping in line their 'great customer service'.
This is half the price of uk stock, so fantastic price for anyone considering Ryzen upgrade

One day cooler master will release their AM4 bracket for my AIO and I can start a Ryzen build, one day...
(Ordered one of these just in case)

Yeah, I gave up on that and just use the wraith heatsink/fan included with the 1700, and TBH it does a decent job.

Get a Crosshair and use an AM3 backplate.

guessing you can't use Intel CPUs on it? or am I wrong?

Sell your grandma or wait for your bracket then, they're making them, allegedly.

Ordered one, let's see. I would almost certainly buy the Ryzen cpu from Amazon that I have in my Amazon saved basket, if this comes through.

Ordered. Current motherboard is ASRock and always been pretty pleased with it, and wanted an upgrade so seems like it's worth a shot.

this is more like how new mobos should be priced.
shame i dont need to upgrade cuz all i do is game.

They are, if you choose a B350 based motherboard - which is more than adequate for most people's requirements. Largely speaking the OC you'll achieve is around the same percentile gain.
malachi
15 May 171#23
Unless you have SLI which the B350 doesn't support.
The_Hoff
15 May 17#24
You can still crossfire across a good number of B350, but indeed SLI needs X370.

Ordered thanks OP. I had the Asus Prime X370-Pro which came in my custom built PC but the GPU on that died twice so I returned all of it for a refund.
I'm going to build it myself this time. so this board is the first part I buy.

Has this been taken down? It's showing me the price as 179.01 euros

mGPU in its current state is a dead duck.
Gkains
15 May 17#29
Indeed. And that's likely to stay that way unless AMD manage to sneak in a mGPU into a console at some stage, or if Navi's 'scalability' means that they are going to go for a single-package multiple-dies approach (sort of like how the CCXs on Ryzen work).
However, it does seem that some people buy with stuff looking a feature checklist so we can't really blame manufacturers from adding bling (not so much this board but a lot of the more expensive gaming motherboard, graphics cards, etc. seem to suffer from bling overload).

Price now 160€ minimum?

Tempting but I'm too lazy to build a new PC when my current is working just fine and plays games just fine. Heat added though.

15 May 17#32
Looks like I got the last one just a few minutes before the price went up.

Thats why this board suites my needs. I have SLI in the computer is going to replace. Now need to wait for DDR4 to become cheaper!
The_Hoff
15 May 17#36
Hope it arrives for you then.
RE DDR4 prices predicted to rise through 2017 so if you see a deal, buy it.
For Ryzen, get 3200+ 2x8GB, preferably Samsung chips and you'll be in good standing. AMD are releasing enhancements for DDR4 support and latency this month (beta BIOSes from Gigabyte have already received it).

Yep, me too. Oh, well. I have been considering a Ryzen build but have also been looking at small cases so a full ATX board wouldn't have suited me.

The_Hoff
15 May 17#41
Shame.
For those not needing specifically SLI or needing additional bells and whistles you should look for a B350 board (Asus Prime/MSI Tomahawk/Gigabyte Gaming 3), performance will be all but identical. Such boards can be had for this money.

Very disappointed to get the cancelation email. I poured over a lot of reviews and the motherboard did very well in audiophile tests, the first board I have seen that scored 'excellent' in each audio benchmark category within its price range, and it had a good quality headphone amp for audiophile/up to 600ohm headphones, that was the main appeal of the motherboard, for me, it seemed a fairly basic spec, otherwise. Would it be so much to ask companies to compensate customers with vouchers to make up for the time wasted by the company's human errors, just a small gesture to keep customers sweet?
Anyway, kudos to the OP for sharing, it was worth a try.
