Oh nice. I didn't realize they released some news at CES. Looks like a 2nd half release for TR gen 2.

Thanks. That makes me feel a little more confident about going with that mobo. I have no past experience with MSI, and this is not only my first Ryzen, but AMD build as well, so I'm venturing into unknown territory here.
I just cannot justify going with Intel anymore when you look at price vs performance. The cost of a comparable AMD CPU just shows how out of control things have gotten over the past couple of years. I was never a fan of AMD, but I hope they continue to bounce back. I'm definitely going Threadripper on my next personal build, hopefully sometime this year. Anyone heard rumors / road maps on when the next generation of those will be out? Edited by Andrew1183 - 20 Jan 2018 at 10:09am |

first system
corsiar 2400 lpx ,easy peasy click click overclocked to 2933 ram stable now for probably 5-6 months and cpu click click 1600 non x all cores 3,8ghz auto volts (owner didnt want to mess around trying to dial in lower voltage manually) has a really overkill 750w gold psu and a gtx1070 second system r5 1600 corsair ram 3000 mhz set at 2933 but with lowered timings (quite heavily lowered timings) 3.8 ghz and 1.35 v fixed cpu (cheapest 500w+ 'reasonably' trustworthy psu, absolute nasty c.i.t. brand case third system totally plug and play gskill 3200 cl14 trident ram which now is tweaked to 3333mhz cl14 and tightened sub timings cpu r5 1600 set at 3.8ghz (this one is a naff cpu though will not go lower than 1.375 volts or higher than 3.8ghz) shame really as this last system has very nice high grade parts in it eg top notch ram/excellent power supply/big arctic cooling heatsink /great antec case + fans, and the poor guy really got a low luck naff cpu for a r5 1600 all three systems literally plug and play for first boot first system runs a 1070,second runs an SSC 1050ti, third uses a re-used 750ti (awaiting a new gpu) to be honest i love my taichi board but it cost me £230 back at start of ryzen launch,if anyone asks me about a b350 board i point them at the £90ish msi tomahawk, it seems the best bang for buck, and as mentioned to ram support out of the box seems very very good |

I was actually looking at that one yesterday briefly. It also has a version in white to go with the B&W color scheme I seem to have going. The RAM list did seem rather large as well, which is a plus.
How was it as far as stability, tinkering around in the BIOS for overclocking, getting RAM to run at the right speed? I'm most concerned about something I came across in a couple of forums that people were having issues getting the R5's to post and would have to actually switch out to an R7, flash, then switch back to the R5 and everything was good then. Seems to be an issue with earlier BIOS versions, so hopefully I can get my hands on one that hasn't been sitting on a shelf in a warehouse (although unlikely) for 8-10 months if I go with it. http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-3392826/post-ryzen-1600-msi-tomahawk-b350.html |

ive assisted and advised on three b350 builds all using the r5 1600 and two of these using corsair ram the board was in all three cases the msi tomahawk, it does seem to have the best ram support out of the box as far as i can see |

I should have checked the forums before getting my build...
I have now almost the same base config: same mobo, same CPU, slightly different RAM (CMK16GX4M2B3200C16) and I can't even make the fans spin on power button press. I've already been through 2 different PSUs and looking to change the mobo now. (And I thought it would be an easy build!)
