Reckon this should be the lowest price for a Z590 ATX board currently. It is pity that 11 gen has trash performance and that is why the board is so cheap.
The deal starts from 9pm to 10pm tomorrow. 40 units available. Was using this board before and the quality is decent.
not realli 11th is not environmental friendly
that Sweden girl will kick ur ass if u use them
so they have a fix but it impacts performance, amd couldn’t even fix the vulnerability and they think the next latch brings performance back …… it doesn’t even look at hit on 8,9,10ths gen …..
Yes you are right.
Scraping the bottom of the barrel for a reason to buy but just can’t find a reason. $89 delivered for b450 mortar probably has slightly more use
You are being downvoted because as b450 mortar, while being a great board, is AMD chipset. This is intel.
Thanks for alerting me to the good price on the b450 Mortar Max though, I pulled the trigger. :)
Pleasure! Hope you managed to pick up the shopping express deal ~260 delivered for mortar max + 3600. In a year or two it would suit a second hand 5600x or even better a 5800x3d ;) much better than anything this z590 platform can do.
Damn I didn't know about that, and 3600 for 170 is a good deal. I didn't see that deal tho >.<
@Budju: unfortunate, anyways, you can wait to see what the new releases are like eg. Ryzen 5 5600 non-X and Ryzen 5 5500 apparently has a 199usd and 159usd launch price respectively. i'm still sitting on a 1600af and running great
got this board.
would recommend.
Only worth buying in 11th gen is i5. Others higher than it are hot garbage.
i5 11400 was $219 from CA, good bargain.
It is pity that 11 gen has trash performance and that is why the board is so cheap.
11th gen received more hate than it deserved IMHO, mostly because the i9 11900K was a completely silly and unnecessary part. The i5 11400F was always a good option when it was < $250 pretty often, and the 11600K and 11700K were both reasonable parts. For most of its life, the 11700K was a fair bit cheaper than the 5800X.
Agree mate. If switching off the AVX 512, it will run a lot cooler. If you are gaming, 11th gen CPU + motherboard combo is much cheaper than the 12th gen combo.
Intel should reduce the B660 motherboard price since it is the pain of arse when purchasing with 12th gen CPU.
12th gen boards are over-engineered to support the peak power of a 12900.
They are about the same price as a decent X570 board, they are actually priced fairly.
Manufacturers need to make cut down boards for 6 core CPUs - I imagine they already are for Dell etc. However with a chip shortage everyone preferences manufacturing of the highest profit product lines.
Intel could start designing 'reference' motherboards to pair with CPUs, similar to how Nvidia provides reference designs for their GPUs, but it's too late for this product cycle
And I don't even get hate for 11900k. Does it run silly hot? Yeah. But it is faster for certain workloads than 10900k? Sure is and that's all that matters to me - at the time it was the fastest option available to compile my Xcode project I worked on daily
Not so much the 11900K vs. 10900K, but rather the 11900K vs. the 11700K, you're paying a lot more for the i9 part for basically hardly any improvement over the 11700K
11400 with integrated graphics was $219 (tray only) for a while.
trash performance
This is a silly way of saying why people didn't like it. It hasn't got bad performance.
No significant improvement over 10th gen but runs hotter. Only advantage is having PCI E 4.0. Also Intel rush to publish 12th gen only a few months after 11th gen explains they are not confident on 11th gen's competitiveness against AMD Zen 3.
when deciding to build an 11th gen which we are seeing cheap MBs now being dumped vs build 12th gen which has a whole new architecture , what value is the difference in price and are you running windows 11 which makes full use of the new 12 th gen architecture or are you running windows 10 which doesn’t …..and if you aren’t on windows 11 when will you you move and maybe that will be the better time for 12th gen move. all our household suitable PCs are now on windows 11, 1 laptop made it, others ….well win10 and eventual recycle.
people complain about a mobile phone having a year old cpu and they want the latest and will pay more for that …… if you have the coin go 12 th gen …you need to buy ram and ssd regardless of MB, etc so the extra for 12 th gen MB isn’t the big ticket cost in the build.
i’m looking at a new build and will go 12th gen …. i don’t do gaming so no need to overclock, i5 12500. as it has better gpu than i5 12400.
intel used to have a tick-tock cycles for their cpus ….11th gen is just the tock building on 10th gen refinement…..12 th gen is the new tick ….new architecture ……
This board is compatible with 10th gen too, isn’t it? This with something like an i5 10400f seems like a pretty good budget combo for $280.
It is, but one of the more frustrating things about these 11th gen boards is that usually one of the m.2 slots doesn't work if you put a 10th gen cpu in.
For this reason I specifically sought out a H470i board for a recent build around a 10700f that I got cheaply.
the slot works but 3x not 4x if using 10th gen ……not sure you’d notice the performance hit and then you’d need 4x nvme ….
@garage sale: On this board? Cos on most 11th gen boards, the 4th gen slot doesn't work at all with a 10th gen cpu installed.
Save your 100 bucks and dump that into 12th gen. Stop wasting money
Regret selling a i9 9900 I sold off because the boards were stupid expensive prior!
I have an old 2070 super and just play some games in 1440P. Should I just go 10400f + B560m( Total $269) or this 11400f + Z590 (Total $351)
Using 10400f will mean you will lose one PCI-E 4.0 NVME slot. Personally 11400f is for B560M but if you want more expansion slot, just pick Z590.
Thank you for your helpful reply.
I purchased it. I don’t know why. I don’t really play games but hey, maybe I’ll give it a go.
Going to have to launder money around the house to get a case, CPU, RAM, and maybe GPU, without the misses knowing.
Thinking an i5 10400 might be good bang for buck. They go for around $180 for 10400F, 210 for 10400 if I want to buy GPU later. Worth paying an extra $80 for an i7?
What am I looking at for a decent GPU?
This $99 bargain …
I got the 11400 in one of the recent sales for 220 I think, not bad at all.
There also sale on rams at the moment,you can get crucial 16 for 85
I ordered thinking this is mATX lol now listed for sale in classified!
Should've Gone to Specsavers!
Made a mistake of going to OPSM
as long as 11th price match its performance still worth to buy tho
