Some of my fellow ozbargainers pressured me to post up a deal on the motherboard that I felt left out on in my last forum post, unfortunately it ran out of stock on eBay.However, that doesn't mean that there aren't any good deals to be had.

I found this board on msy at an even better price.

This board is an absolute steal for a last gen flagship motherboard, and with a bios update it is compatible with all 2nd gen Ryzen chips. It even has support for RAM OC of up to 3600…

I'd go with this over a B450 tomahawk any day.

P.s. this is my second time posting a deal so go easy on me

edit: MSY also do BIOS updates for free, so be sure to call them up tomorrow to get your bios updated.

    Wow looks like someone has already reported u. IDK but ozbargain can sometimes be a really unfriendly place. Go easy on the guy it's his 2nd post. That's why im afraid to post anything anymore!

      I got reported 'sold out'… not sure what that means but I think there's still plenty of stock left haha…

        well good on you, idk why people report sometimes. Its almost as if they are just bored stiff causing trouble

        • videoman on 06/10/2018 - 23:43

          Nah they were probably just logged into msy and all the stores in their state were sold out so they thought it was sold out everywhere.

            @videoman: yeah, they should have checked first. Not jump to conclusions

            • Skinnerr on 07/10/2018 - 03:10

              @RetroMetro: Also it says in the description page that it's a clearance item. Get in quick!

                @Skinnerr: One word, 'Broke' Plus I've just ordered a gaming laptop! I'll pass on this one

    Any good deals on top spec CPU to go with this?
    I am on i7 4770K. Been while since I’ve upgrade :)
    But the 4770k still runs amazing fast for my RTS games and some minor Dev work.

    • videoman on 06/10/2018 - 23:46

      Yeah I'm still running a 4820k and not going to upgrade yet. It still works fine for VR and every other game I've tried.

      • congo on 06/10/2018 - 23:48

        Ok. I will wait for the next gen intel and Ram to drop a bit more on prices.

        • promethbastard on 07/10/2018 - 00:38

          Next gen AMD Ryzen will be even better (3000 series, next year) - then it's definitely worth the upgrade. Games are getting better with utilising more cores as time goes on. Lots of discussion about it in the tech news arena. Do your research and don't blindly pay the Intel tax without being informed.

          • Ostrk on 07/10/2018 - 09:13
            +1

            @promethbastard: BUT MUH INTEL
            Hopefully navi is like Ryzen and shits on Nvidia! Nvidia deserve it after what they've been pulling recently.

            • promethbastard on 07/10/2018 - 12:35

              @Ostrk: Their next gen graphics is going MCM (multi-chip modules) - the same design as Ryzen. Ready the popcorn folks, we're in for a ride.
              In all honesty they won't clobber Nvidia. Too many developers are coding for Nvidia-sponsored technologies which AMD can't use. But, they can sure give the green giant a poke and a scare.

              • sane on 07/10/2018 - 13:11

                @promethbastard: Unfortunately not. Navi won't be using multiple dies.

                However, it will be the same core as used in at least one of the consoles, so will be enough to run the games you will want to run.

                And hopefully the price will be sane.

    • Ghosteye on 06/10/2018 - 23:47

      I reckon you should stay on your current cpu, current gen stuff is not worth the $$ you're going to fish out for that 10-20% performance. Maybe wait till ryzen 7nm?
      You could buy this board and wait till they announce the new line up at CES next year, haha.

      • congo on 06/10/2018 - 23:48

        If this board will be supported on the next gen CPU?

        • Ghosteye on 06/10/2018 - 23:50
          +5

          It is definitely supported, they stated that they are going to stick with the AM4 line for at least 5 more years. This is one of the best + points AMD has over intel

          • sane on 11/10/2018 - 13:43

            @Ghosteye: They only promise AM4 till 2020.

            Best guess is that after 2020 we'll be looking at a PCi-e 4 / DDR5 design - because AM4 will be bottlenecking on the PCI lanes and memory bandwidth.

            Still, that's two generations of Ryzen Zen2 & Zen3.

      • jonathonsunshine on 07/10/2018 - 01:04

        Yeah, you'll have to fork out for new ram as well, main thing holding me back. Its pretty much a complete new system.

  • wasabi3 on 06/10/2018 - 23:48

    i have literally been comparing am4 socket motherboards for the past 2hrs after deciding to upgrade 7 year old PC. Thanks!

    • Ghosteye on 06/10/2018 - 23:51

      I was comparing for the last 2 weeks haha, it's tough to find a good bargain here in Australia, but this is shockingly good!

      • wasabi3 on 06/10/2018 - 23:53

        just need a deal on ryzen 5 2600x!

        • Ghosteye on 06/10/2018 - 23:57

          Happy Hunting! I settled with the futu ryzen 2600 combined with the 20% off and my 10% off paypal gift card, bringing the price to 188.
          Also, If you're an over clocker, I suggest you take a look at the x370 taichi that is also on sale for 171. It has so many VRMs that summer is going to be a breeze.

    • konichiwa on 06/10/2018 - 23:55

      I've just been through this process myself. Settled on a 2700x with the x370-iTX and I'm stoked with its performance so far. Next is to upgrade to a 1080ti, but I'm waiting for black Friday for that.

      • dcep on 07/10/2018 - 00:26

        what case supports itx that also fits 1080ti

        • konichiwa on 07/10/2018 - 00:32

          NZXT H200i

        • MeateaW on 07/10/2018 - 21:48

          Silverstone rvz01 (and all the variants of that case)

          Also… Any case that exists. Since itx is backcompatible with atx (and matx).

    How does that MB compare to this https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Gigabyte-X370-Gaming-5-DDR4-AM4-…

    • Ghosteye on 07/10/2018 - 01:07

      The Vrm setup is the same, it has more more lights (rgb = power) and it just has more features than the gaming 5. It's an upgrade at a lesser price?

  • itsjch on 07/10/2018 - 07:49

    Would this Motherboard work with 2800x when that comes out?

    • Ghosteye on 07/10/2018 - 13:48

      it should work if the 2800x is on the AM4 platform

  • iforgotmysocks on 07/10/2018 - 08:03

  • Foma2 on 07/10/2018 - 09:45

    Does anyone know if this motherboard is compatible with AMD Ryzen 7 2700X Processor 16 MB Cache
    3.7 GHz AM4 8 Core 16 Thread Desktop CPU ?

    • cooleagles on 07/10/2018 - 09:47

      Yes, but will need a bios update as per the op.

      • Foma2 on 07/10/2018 - 11:14

        Does it mean I need to take it to a place like local MSY shop and ask them to do it for me (and pay for it $30 or so) ?

        • butter on 07/10/2018 - 11:58

          I think this motherboard supports flashing without CPU. Do some research into qflash though as I'm not familiar with it.

        • Ghosteye on 07/10/2018 - 13:47

          You can call up the MSY that you've ordered from and ask nicely :) I did that for the x370 taichi and they managed to update it for me for free :)

  • Guybrush57 on 07/10/2018 - 11:29

    I have this board and it supports ECC RAM. I recommend it!

  • Wolfofwallstreet on 07/10/2018 - 12:26

    If you are not into gaming on PC then buying AMD over Intel is a no brainer.

    • haru on 08/10/2018 - 00:15

      What about if you are into it?

  • Budju on 07/10/2018 - 14:04

    What is the modern equivalent of this board?

    • Ghosteye on 07/10/2018 - 14:48

      The gaming k7 x470, its a whole lot more expensive

      • Bigboomboom on 07/10/2018 - 18:00

        With a lot of stuff improved though. First gen Ryzen mobos that Gigabyte made were terribad in lots of ways, including a BIOS update that fried CPU.

          If you can justify the 300 dollar price tag, go for it.

          • Bigboomboom on 07/10/2018 - 18:48

            @Ghosteye: $240?
            https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Gigabyte-X470-AORUS-ULTRA-GAMING…

            Not that it's a bargain, but there are justifiable improvement.

            • Budju on 13/10/2018 - 22:53

              @Bigboomboom: That isn't the flagship Gaming 7, it's a lower model but Futu seem to make it hard to find exactly which lower model it is.

              • Bigboomboom on 13/10/2018 - 23:15

                @Budju: Simple, there is no X470 Gaming 7. There is only X470 Gaming 7 WiFi, WiFi alone makes it much more expensive.

                • Budju on 13/10/2018 - 23:38

                  @Bigboomboom: Not simple, check ram frequency and LEDS. Those are differences I'm aware of off the top of my head, there may be more.

                  P.S. ram frequency of 3600mhz is a huge boon for amd rigs.

  • essent1al on 07/10/2018 - 18:45

    I ended up getting the gaming 5 edition for $138 pickup as I couldnt justify the extra ~$30 for the k7.

    Thanks dude!

  • Mccann25 on 08/10/2018 - 18:29

    Well that sucked, got a reply back from MSY saying that the motherboard I ordered is not in sellable condition (damaged, or warranty stock), the refunded my order. Oh well, might save up for a X470 model.

    • Ghosteye on 08/10/2018 - 21:00

      You can always consider the x370 taichi, amazing board, i personally got it myself

      • Mccann25 on 08/10/2018 - 22:34

        Thanks! checked it out and has pretty good reviews, might grab that!

  • mavis30551 on 11/10/2018 - 16:34

    No longer available :(

    • Budju on 13/10/2018 - 22:48

      I got all convinced this was the best board, then went to buy it and it was no longer available. Ended up grabbing the x470 for $330 from MSY with 10% off voucher…
