No button for that. I did get one finally, coming todayCan't you back order one rather than waiting until you happen to notice there's stock somewhere?

Must have been a price mistake. When I posted the link it definitely advertised $100 off 1700. At some time later they changed it to only 50. I think lucky few at SD managed to snag couple of combos.The $100 off at Mircocenter is for the 1700X not the 1700, The 1700 with cooler only has $50 off. Still a pretty good deal. Personally, I am just going to wait and see where the cards fall with all of this. My current machine is an i5-6600K with a Z170 board. If MC drops the price of the i7-7700k, I think I will drop one of those CPUs in and call it a day. If not, I will have to really think about selling what I have to go to AMD again. AMD has not been a primary rig build for almost 10 years now. The last one was a the venable Barton XP 2500 OCed to 3200 spec with an ATI X850XT Pro AGP card. That system still ran as a secondary rig for almost another 2 o 3 years before part out. I digress.
The 1600 and 1500x definitely seem like the best values.$219 for a 6c/12t processor with HSF included that can OC to 3.8GHz+. Might not tick all the boxes for everyone but that is an excellent value. I'm not sure the extra $30 (+ heatsink) for the 1600X would be worth it, but we'll see with reviews whenever the 1600X launches.
I don't see why anyone would get the 1400 really. You get a lot more in the 1500x for only $20!
Dumb question but how do I find AIDA 64 memory and cache benchmark thing? I can only find the aida 64 extreme trial or whatever.
New beta BIOSes from Gigabyte: http://forum.gigabyte.us/thread/886/am4-beta-bios-thread
It seems that at least some of them use the new 1.0.0.4 AGESA.
At 1.375 vcore, probably right if WCG can push the CPU similar to prime?OK, just got my Taichi, but the first order of business was to get my 1700 cracking on WCG on the 340 Pro4. So its on a 212 EVO running 102c (82c real ??) @ 3,8 ghz. Does this sound OK ? 1.375 vcore ? or is it time for a noctura or something.

Sorry, 1700x, but it just shut down, won't even power fans now. PSU died ?? not sure.1700 non-X doesn't have a temp offset AFAIK. Hopefully that reading is wrong - I thought it was supposed to hit thermal protection around 95C real and shut down the system...
OUCHSorry, 1700x, but it just shut down, won't even power fans now. PSU died ?? not sure.
