These boards are around $469 at places like PCCG, PLE.
Quite the bargain getting it from US Amazon instead. Unfortunately there isn't any bargains for higher spec motherboards, just this middle spec model.
CamelCamelCamel.
This mobo is for intel 10th gen so it isn't compatible with the same CPUs as the B450. If you're looking for a new CPU and motherboard, ryzen + B450 is definitely the better value.
yeah!! $380+ for a ASUS A series board….. can't believe Intel is still playing their socket games today, on 14nm+++++++…..
Damn… I seem to remember a few Core generations ago the A series boards were just over $200 while $400 got you the bees knees DELUXE.
A few years ago could have been when the aud was nearly or above $1usd
Nope, I'm talking around when 6th gen came out. Exchange rate was higher but doesn't justify almost twice the cost even if you adjust for inflation since 2015 which isn't even 10%.
Very tempting. I might hold out for a board with 14 power phases though.
Is 14 power stages the same as 14 power phases ? Sorry if it's a stupid Q lol I switch off after 3 mins of buildzoids ramblings….
It's 12 power stages for the vcore, Asus has them in pairs to make a 'big' 6 phase VRM.
For this price, would a B450 Tomahawk be better value?
